Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.
Test Procedure (Targets):
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence
with the DUT. Since the DUT is a target the Testing Station should transmit an Identify Address frame
indicating that it is an initiator.
• The Testing Station should transmit an OpenAddress frame to the DUT with an invalid connection
rate.
• Wait for the DUT to transmit OPEN_REJECT (Connection rate not supported).
Observable Results: Verify that the DUT responded to the received, complete Open Address frame with
OPEN_REJECT (Connection rate not supported).
