  • the publication EP 851,597 describes a method of checking the compatibil- ity of a mobile terminal and a functional unit, e.g. an accessory unit.

  • Such devices according to the prior art have been found to be useful in relation to compatibility checks even though only a given set of predetermined accessories are accepted, i.e. compatible external devices which are not included in the set of the predetermined accessories will not pass the compatibility check.

Compatibility is established if the results of the two calculations are the same. If compatibility is estab- lished, the functional unit is enabled; otherwise the functional unit is locked. There is nothing that indicates that the stored reference code is used for anything else than the later comparison with the reference code calculated m the functional unit. A long-term storage of this information is not comprised so that this technique cannot be used for later monitoring of the mobile station.
