1. A method, comprising:
facilitating, by a first device comprising a processor, receiving a first signal comprising indication data representative of an indication of physical random access channel (PRACH) configurations available for implementation by a second device communicatively coupled to the first device via a radio access network (RAN);
based on the indication, selecting, by the first device, a PRACH configuration of the PRACH configurations to be utilized at the second device for an operation using a PRACH;
generating, by the first device, first test data representative of an interoperability test performed on the PRACH configuration at the first device;
transmitting, by the first device, an instruction to the second device to transmit second test data, wherein the second test data is generated from performing the interoperability test with the PRACH configuration implemented at the second device;
receiving, from the second device, the second test data representative of performing the interoperability test on the PRACH configuration at the second device;
comparing, at the first device, the first test data with second test data; and
facilitating, by the first device in response to determining that the first data matches the second data, transmitting, to the second device, a third signal comprising instruction data representative of an instruction to the second device to implement the PRACH configuration to communicate with the first device.
