Agilent Technologies E8285A manual AKey, Entering an Akey Directly into the Test Set

Chapter 4, Description of Fields

Fields

A_Key

Manually, this field is used to enter the mobile station’s A_key into the Test Set. The user must obtain a valid A_Key from the mobile station’s manufacturer, service provider or must generate a valid A_key to test authentication procedures, otherwise the authentication process will fail.

Entering an A_key Directly into the Test Set.

The :AKEY command is used to enter an A_key into the Test Set.

The query form of the command (that is, :AKEY?) can be used to determine the Test Set’s current A_key value. The length of the returned value requires declaring the variable length at 26. This command does not return the mobile station’s current A_key.

Syntax

:AKEY <’><26 CHARACTER A_key><’>

:AKEY?

Example

DIM Akey_set$[27]

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:AKEY ’12345678901234567890123456’"

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:AKEY?"

ENTER 714;Akey_set$

Generating a New A_key.

The :Generate command is only available through the remote users interface. No field is displayed for this function on the test set.

The :GENerate command is used to generate a new A_key for use in the mobile station. This is an immediate action command. The resultant check sum value will be displayed on the AUTHENTICATION screen in the last six digits of the A_key field.

There in no query form of the GENerate command. Use the query form of

"A_Key" on page 160 to determine the value of the A_key which was generated.

Syntax

:GENerate
