2.5.12.b. Frame Options Only (FPort NOT = 0) 1264
Perform the test listed below such that all MAC commands are sent to the DUT within the Frame 1265
Options field (i.e. FOpts) portion of a single downlink. Successful completion of each test 1266
indicates the MAC Command payload is properly decrypted using the Application Session Key 1267
and processed by the DUT. It is up to the DUT to choose how it answers: it can choose either the 1268
FOpts field or the FRMPayload. Some devices for example may use the FRMPayload when the 1269
MAC command answers are larger than the 15 bytes limit of the FOpts field. 1270
