Chapter 6, Authentication Tests Initializing SSD to Zero Initializing SSD to Zero This procedure tests the MSUT’s ability to respond to a timer-based registration with authentication parameters that match the values expected by the Test Set. This procedure is performed after SSD has been initialized to zero in both the Test Set and MSUT.
Page 214 Chapter 6, Authentication Tests Initializing SSD to Zero 1. Register the MSUT. If the MSUT is already registered, this step is not necessary. if you are not familiar with how this procedure "Setting up a Call" on page 52 is performed with the Test Set. Registration provides the Test Set with the MSUT’s ESN (Electronic Serial Number).
Page 215 If the ESN changes (for instance when another MSUT is connected to the Test Set and registers) or is cleared, the Check Digits field will be cleared. If Kor PCS is selected in the Protocol field, the Check Digits field should be blank. HP-IB Syntax "CDMA:AUTH:AKEY ’0’" enters all zeroes in the A-Key field.

The MSUT should confirm the entry of a valid A-Key.
Page 217 2. Press the knob to select On. Selecting "On" in this field results in the Test Set signaling the MSUT to include authentication parameters in messages requiring authentication (AUTH_MODE =1). HP-IB Syntax "CDMA:CELL:CONF:AUTH:MODE ’ON’" turns authentication on. "CDMA:AUTH:DATA:CLE" clears the Authentication Data Table.
Page 218 AUTHR. This value is transmitted by the MSUT, then compared (along with other Authentication parameters) with the expected value by the Test Set to determine Pass/Fail status.

Chapter 9, 264 Using the Analog Call Processing Subsystem Description of the Analog Call Processing Subsystem Description of the Analog Call Processing Subsystem The Analog Call Processing Subsystem, which comprises six call processing screens, simulates an analog cellular base station. The Analog Call Processing Subsystem provides, through host firmware control, the specific signals and protocol messages necessary to automatically establish and maintain a cellular link between the Test Set (simulated base station) and a cellular phone (mobile...
Page 265: Operational Overview
Chapter 9, 264 Using the Analog Call Processing Subsystem Description of the Analog Call Processing Subsystem Operational Overview The Test Set is able to simulate a cellular base station by using its hardware and firmware resources to initiate and maintain a link with only one mobile station. Unlike a real base station, which has many transceivers and can support many mobile stations simultaneously, the Test Set has only one transceiver (it’s signal generator and RF/AF analyzer) and can support only one mobile station at a time.
