It should say:

When the checksum is calculated the signature string should be
considered to be sixteen octets of zero.  The shared secret is
used as the key for the HMAC-MD5 hash.  The checksum is calculated and
inserted in the packet before the Response Authenticator is
calculated.

Notes:

The last sentence was missing a "checksum"
