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
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.
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
field.
