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.
The remote user interface provides two uses for the A_Key field. These include:
• Entering an A_KEY into the Test Set.
• Generating a new A_Key.
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]
