Chapter 8, Programming The Call Processing Subsystem

Programming The AUTHENTICATION Screen

RAND_B

RAND_B is the 16 least significant bits of 

RAND

 and is entered as a 4-digit 

hexadecimal value. The mobile station stores and uses the most recent version of 
RAND in the authentication process. RAND_B is user definable.

The :RAND:B command is used to control this field.

The query form (that is, :RAND:B?) can be used to query the current field value.

Syntax

:RAND:B 

:RAND:B?

Example

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:RAND:B ‘4F5A’"

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:RAND:B?"

ENTER 714;Rand_val$

RANDSSD_1

RANDSSD_1 is the 24 most significant bits of the random number issued by the 
base station in the SSD Update Order. RANDSSD_1 is entered as a 6-digit 
hexadecimal value. RANDSSD_1 is user definable.

The :RAND:SSD1 command is used to control this field.

The query form (that is, :RAND:SSD1?) can be used to query the current field 
value.

Syntax

:RAND:SSD1 

:RAND:SSD1?

Example

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:RAND:SSD1 ‘4F5A26’"

OUTPUT 714;"CALLP:AMPS:AUTH:RAND:SSD1?"
