1. About This Document
This document describes the features available through the Service Menu, in the 8232 Dect Handset. We
describe how to operate the handset without going into details of its operations features. Complete
description of operations features is addressed in a separate document.
1.1 Audience
This maintenance manual is dedicated for people who are in charge of the support of the 8232 Dect
handset, (Technicians, system administrators, field experts, …).
This document is not dedicated for End User.

2. Handset - Service Menu Management
This section describes how to use the feature “Service Menu” available only to vendors and developers
of the handset.
The document will also describe some options available in the Service Menu.
2.1 Service Menu
This menu is normally used to reveal features not used/seen by the end-user. By means of a special key
sequence a special service menu can be accessed. This service menu enables some special features like
Master reset, Site survey mode, Handset logs, Status, IPEI, Demo mode, Wideband and Test Tone.
To access the service menu, do as following step:
STEP 1Click on Menu in idle mode > Type *7378423* (mnemonic: *SERVICE*) from the keypad to
display the Service Menu.
Note: at the end of the test mode, it is recommended to power off the handset and to power on it again
to restart properly the normal use.
2.2 Service Menu Parameter Definitions
The Service Menu is not for end users –only installers and suppliers.
Master Reset
This feature allows the administrator to clear all settings to default, including registration and brings
Handset to factory settings.
Valid inputs: Yes or No

Site Survey Mode
To enable Site Survey Mode, do as following step:
STEP 1On the Service Menu (or Debug mode) scroll down to the Site survey mode > Enable the Site
survey mode to switch from Off to On.
Remark: on the screen, we can see a normal flicker effect
Note: There is 1 additional screen by pressing volume keys.
Vol - additional screen with RFPI
Vol + back to the initial screen
This sets the handset in a state to list all visible bases around it and/or chained to the same base
station(s). Handsets in site survey mode can display up to 5 base stations with the strongest signal
strength.
In Site Survey Mode the handset MMI shows the RFP (including slave RFP) to which the handset is locked
to and the corresponding signal strength (RSSI).
Valid Inputs: On or Off
Legend for the new site survey:
Line1: Lock State | Frequency | Slot | Base RPN locked
Line2: RPN (for 5 base stations)
Line3: RSSI (for 5 base stations)
Line4: A field CRC error | X field CRC error | Z field CRC error | No Lock / Lock to: base number
Line5: Quality index | Slow/Rapid Measurements | Syn error field | Fading
Or when Vol- key pressed:
Line4: RFPI in octal
Line5: RFPI in hex
Parameter/Line
Description
RPN
The line contains the list of base stations identified by the handset as
RPNs of the bases in respect to the signal strength values below. Up to
5 RPNs can be displayed.
-dBm (Signal
Strength)
This indicates the actual signal strength information (RSSI) to the base
station the current handset is locked to and additional RFPs visible.
RSSI unit is -dBm. The RSSI value increases the closer the base is to the
handset.
If the base could not be detected, the RSSI value will decrease and
after a while the entry will be deleted, if e.g. the dummy-bearer
position has changed or the RFP is unreachable.

See "survey_doc_DECT_AGAPdm09011b0280086533.pdf" to explain additional lines of the site survey.
Note:
- Long press on * key: Slow/Rapid measurements
- Long press on # key: No Lock / Lock to base
Note :
This site survey mode is not appropriate for Dect installations due to lack of accuracy of quality index.
For Dect installations, please refer to “DECT and IP-DECT Engineering Rules and Site Survey Kit Manual
(8AL_90874_USAAed01)”
HS Logs
The HS log is a debugging feature that allows the user to retrieve low level interesting messages from
the handset.
Info: This information may be requested by Technical Support in case of site debugging
HS Logs
Description
Log error
These are debug error logs retrieved from the PP log file. The last log
retrieved is formatted into:
Error: Log event error code. Valid value is 0000 to FFFF (in Hex).
Line: Location within the software code which triggered this error. Valid
value is 0000 to FFFF (in Hex).
Address: Register bank and/address from which error occurred. Valid value is
00000000 to FFFFFFFF (in Hex.)
Timestamp: Date and Time when the log error event occurred.
Log Assert
This reports of the function/exception handler that runs after an erroneous
state in handset operation.
Next assert ID: Immediate exception handler ID to be run when a specific
error occurs. Valid value is 00 to FF (in Hex).
Assert address: Register bank and/address where an exception handler is
executed as a result of the error which occurred. Valid value is 00000000 to
FFFFFFFF (in Hex.)

Demo mode
The demo mode disables the screen saver, so be aware of that when this mode is enabled battery
consumption will increase.
Wideband:
Not available on the 8232 Dect handset.Shall be left Off
Test Tone on OK key
When this feature is enabled (On) a 1 kHz test tone can be put into the audio streaming, e.g. when a
call has been established press the center key of the handset (where this feature is enabled) and the
test tone is streamed through to the counterpart handset.
This feature only works if the handset is registered in GAP mode. In AGAP mode the handset will press
on the OK key will enquiry a call.
Headset trace
When this feature is enabled (On) it is possible to do tracing using the headset connector. The reason for
this is that when a headset is connected the amplifier is turned on, which will prevent the tracing part.
Enabling this feature turns off the amplifier.

Service Provider
It is not allowed to change the Alcatel-Lucent blue skins by the OBS orange skins without formal
written authorization from OBS.
Press on OK key resets the current selected service provider in the handset. Restart the handset by
pressing Left softkey to select a new Service Provider. The HS is going OFF and restarts the handset (red
power on key)
Handover Criteria
Change the handover criteria for the HS. In AGAP the handset receives information to set the handset in
either “Normal” or “Noisy” mode, if one of these modes currently selected in the handset the value is
updated to the new value. The “Enhanced” value cannot be overwritten by the PBX. Using this mode the
system operator can overwrite any value sent to the handset by the PBX.
Central Directory:
Enables and disables the Central Directory feature on the handset. Must be On by default.
Broadcast groups: Do not use
Broadcast groups are used on some DECT systems which have messaging support. The broadcast groups
are used to specify which broadcast messages the handset should receive. This is setup through the
DECT system.
