During the Session Negotiate State , the access network may send a Hardware ID Request message to the access terminal (see TAP/ETAP Data Connection Call Flow ). The access terminal then sends a Hardware ID Response message which includes Hardware ID Type and Hardware ID Value fields.
The Hardware ID Value field specifies the unique ID assigned to the access terminal by the manufacturer, uniquely identifying the access terminal. Hardware ID is displayed by the test set in two formats:
The length of the Hardware ID Value and how to interpret the Hardware ID Value are determined by Hardware ID Type. See Hardware ID Type for more information.
Hardware ID can be queried at any time, but a value will only be returned if a session has been negotiated between the test set and access terminal.
Hardware ID (Hex)
and
Hardware ID (Decimal)
are displayed on the
Call Setup
screen in the
Access Terminal Information (AT Reported)
window.
