This is done by programming and also by the user if the Tone Volume Adjust option button or menu parameter is programmed. Relative levels of –170 to +170 can be set with “0” the default setting. A minus value decreases the tone volume and a plus value increases it. The user adjusted level permanently overrides the programmed level if applicable. 4.
PAGE 59
Scanning Section 4 - Radio-wide Features 4.11.1 Priority Scanning Priority scanning (also referred to as standard scan) monitors only channels that are the same type as that currently selected. For example, if a conventional channel is selected, only conventional channels are scanned and likewise for SMARTNET/SmartZone and Project 25 Trunked channels. More information on how priority scanning operates in the Conventional Mode is located in Section 5.10, and for the other modes in Section 6.10.
PAGE 60
Scanning Section 4 - Radio-wide Features 4.11.3 Scan Hold Time When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a delay before scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being received before a response can be made. The delay after transmitting ensures that a response is heard instead of another message occurring on some other channel. Separate delay times are programmable for radio wide and priority scanning. With radio wide scanning, delays of 2-7.
PAGE 61
Scan Lists Section 4 - Radio-wide Features 1 While receiving a message on the channel to be deleted, press and hold the Scan option button until a tone sounds. 2 The channel is deleted and scanning of the remaining channels in the scan list resumes. 3 Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if any of the following occur: - Scanning is turned off and then on again using the Scan option button or menu parameter. - Radio power is turned off and then on again. The selected channel is changed. 4.
PAGE 62
Scan Lists Section 4 - Radio-wide Features 4.12.1.2 Note Selecting a Priority Scan List Only priority scan lists are selectable. Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming).
PAGE 63

S E C T I O N Conventional Mode Features Section5 An overview of the conventional operating mode is located in Section 3.9.1. The following information describes the features unique to analog and digital (Project 25) conventional operation. Refer to the preceding “Radio Wide Features” (Section 4) for information on features common to all operating modes. 5.
PAGE 68
Monitor Mode Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features 5.1.2 Manual Channel Monitoring The automatic monitoring just described may occasionally disable the transmitter when the channel is not in use, such as if the repeater has extended hang time. In this case, you may not want to use automatic monitoring, but monitor the channel manually as follows: Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the multi-function indicator on the front panel is steady green.
PAGE 69
Busy Channel Lockout Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features The Normal/Selective function disables Call Guard squelch and P25 group ID detect but not scanning and P25 NAC detect (see Section 5.4.5). 5.3 Busy Channel Lockout The Busy Channel Lockout feature (also called Transmit Disable on Busy) automatically disables the transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch is pressed.
PAGE 70
Call Guard Squelch Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features The Call Guard squelch feature eliminates distracting messages intended for others using the channel. This is done by using a subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch. This tone or code is unique to a user or a group on that channel. This tone or code is transmitted with the voice signal but is not heard because it is in the subaudible range and is attenuated by a filter.
PAGE 71
Call Guard Squelch Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features 5.4.4 Call Guard Disable A programmed option lets the radio disregard any CTCSS/DCS or NAC/Talkgroup information on the current channel. This feature is best described as a monitor mode with no white noise. In analog it is functionally the same as turning the squelch mode to “normal.” In digital mode it is analogous to checking the “digital squelch” box in PCConfigure.
PAGE 72
Penalty Timer Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features indicates “SEL SQ xx” where, “xx” is the selected code from 1-64. The code number and actual code are alternately displayed (NACs are displayed in hexadecimal). 2 To select the displayed code and return to the normal display, press the (Select) button or the Squelch Select List button again. 3 To check which code is selected, press the Squelch Select List button once to display the current selection and then again to return to normal operation.
PAGE 73
Repeater Talkaround 5.7 Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features Repeater Talkaround Normally, all transmissions go through a repeater which usually increases range. However, there may be times when a user is out of range of the repeater and therefore unable to talk to anyone even though the user being called is only a short distance away. To allow communication in this situation, repeater talk-around can be selected.
PAGE 74
Emergency Alarm and Call 5.9 Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features Emergency Alarm and Call Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or disabled on each analog and P25 conventional system. The Emergency option button or menu parameter is required for these functions. Emergency Alarms and Calls are transmitted on the global (radio wide) emergency zone/channel if one is programmed. If it is not programmed, the emergency is transmitted on the selected channel.
PAGE 75
Emergency Alarm and Call Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features 3 When the emergency alarm is acknowledged by the dispatcher, “Ack Rcvd” is briefly displayed and the emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds. This alert tone can be disabled if desired, and does not occur if Silent operation is programmed. Retries will occur automatically for conventional analog and MDC. No emergency acknowledgement is expected from the system. Retries will continue until a programmed count of retries is reached.
PAGE 76
Emergency Alarm and Call 5.9.3.1 Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features Emergency Hot Mic If Emergency Hot Mic has been enabled for emergency calls, automatic transmitting occurs with microphone audio unmuted without having to manually press the PTT switch. The automatic transmit period is programmed for 10-120 seconds in 10-second steps. If this feature or emergency calls are not enabled by programming, automatic transmitting does not occur.
PAGE 77
Conventional Mode Scanning Section 5 - Conventional Mode Features 5.10 Conventional Mode Scanning Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.11 and 4.12. The following information describes features unique to conventional operation. 5.10.1 Transmitting in Scan Mode Each conventional scan list can be programmed for one of the following modes. These modes determine if priority sampling occurs and also the channel on which transmissions occur while scanning.

PAGE 115
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Scanning Features Section 6 - SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features • Scanning is turned on and off by the Scan option button or menu parameter. Talkgroups (channels) can be programmed so that scanning automatically starts when the talkgroup is selected (Autoscan).
PAGE 116
Dynamic Regrouping Section 6 - SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features One talkgroup in the scan list can be designated a priority talkgroup by programming or it can be the selected talkgroup. When scanning, messages on a non-priority talkgroup are interrupted by messages on the priority talkgroup. Priority scanning must also be supported at the system level for it to occur as programmed in the radio. P25 trunking supports dual priority scan, therefore two priority talkgroups can be selected.
PAGE 117
SmartZone and P25 Trunked Unique Features Section 6 - SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 2 Talk and listen as usual. When dynamic regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher, a short tone sounds.

S E C T I O N Secure Communication (Encryption) Section10 This radio may be equipped to provide secure communication on some or all channels. This feature encrypts the voice so that it can be understood only by someone using a radio equipped with a similar encryption device and encryption codes. When a secure call is received, the LED flashes Red and is indicated in the display.
PAGE 136
Encryption Keys Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.1.2 AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) An encryption standard called AES is replacing DES-OFB encryption on digital (P25) channels. It uses a 128-, 192-, or 256-bit encryption key instead of the 64-bit key used with DES. EFJohnson Technologies radios currently support only 256-bit AES keys. The type of encryption (DES or AES) is determined by the type of encryption key that is loaded.
PAGE 137
Encryption Keys Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) If an attempt is made to transmit a secure message without loading the corresponding key, “Keyfail” is displayed. The message must then be transmitted in the clear mode (this is possible only if the channel is strapped to “switchable”) or the key must be loaded. 10.2.1 Key and Algorithm IDs Each encryption key is programmed with a Key ID (also called Logical ID).
PAGE 138
Encryption Keys Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) (Storage Location Number), typically from 0-4095. The Keys Table must then be programmed to link channel PIDs to a specific SLN. The use of this type of indirect linking allows keysets and key IDs to be changed through OTAR while keeping the mapping from the channel or talkgroup the same. For example, as shown in Figure 10.1, PID 4 selects SLN 24 which selects key slot 24 in both keysets.
PAGE 139
Clear / Secure Strapping Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.2.5 Encryption Key Erase A Key Erase menu item can be programmed that allows the user to permanently erase all stored keys. If OTAR TEK and KEK keys are stored, all keys of both types are erased. This function can be used to ensure that unauthorized encrypted calls can no longer be placed or received by a radio. 10.2.
PAGE 140
Clear / Secure Strapping Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) The radio can be programmed to ignore the “Clear” or “Secure” button setting. These preceding indications then do not occur and transmissions always occur in the strapped mode. Note If all channels/talkgroups are strapped clear or secure and no Clear/Secure option button or menu parameter is programmed, this parameter must always be selected (see following).
PAGE 141
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.4 Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Over-The Air-Rekeying (OTAR) is the process of sending encryption keys and related key management messages over-the-air to specific radios. The advantage of OTAR is that it allows these keys to be quickly and conveniently updated when necessary. It is no longer necessary to periodically travel to the radio location or bring the radio into a maintenance facility to load new keys.
PAGE 142
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) While the active keyset is usually selected by the Key Management Facility, it can also be selected by the radio user if the KY CHG option button is programmed. In this fashion, two keysets can be used even if OTAR is not being used. Note that the radio must be in SLN mode (see Section 10.2.2) to make use of keysets. KEKs are always placed in Keyset 255, and are always considered to be active.
PAGE 143
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) The KMF performs OTAR functions by exchanging Key Management Messages (KMMs) with the radios. Both the KMF and radio can originate messages.
PAGE 144
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.4.5 Definitions Algorithm - Refers to the specific encryption standard (DES or AES) that is used to encrypt a message. Each standard uses different calculations to perform the encryption (see Section 10.1). Algorithm ID (ALGID) - Identifies the algorithm (DES or AES) used to encrypt a message. This ID and the Key ID are transmitted with each non-analog message to uniquely identify the key being used.
PAGE 145
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) Key Management Message (KMM) - These are the messages composed by the KMF to send encryption information to subscriber units through the keyloader or OTAR. KMMs are themselves encrypted using two layers of encryption: inner and outer. The inner layer of encryption uses a KEK and the outer layer uses a TEK. Additional security measures contained within KMMs include a Message Number (MN) and a Message Authentication Code (MAC).
PAGE 146
Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) - A key used to encrypt voice or data. The other type of key is the Key Encryption Key (KEK) which is used to encrypt keys contained in Key Management Messages. TEKs can be either the AES or DES type. Unique Key Encryption Key (UKEK) - A KEK unique to a particular subscriber unit. Refer to “KEK” for more information. These keys can be either the AES or DES type.
PAGE 147
Radio OTAR Capabilities Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) MNP (Message Number Period) - Load the proper message number period into the radio (typically 1000). Refer to Section 10.4.4 for more information. Verify that the above information was properly stored in the radio by viewing it using the keyloader. 10.5 Radio OTAR Capabilities The OTAR capabilities of the SEM equipped 5100 ES portable are as follows.

Over the Air Programming Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) Erase Keys - Erases all keys in the radio the same as the Erase Keys option button described in the preceding section. (Can be option button or menu parameter.) 10.6 Over the Air Programming OTAP is an “Over the Air” programming feature for the subscriber parameter (code plug) files.
PAGE 150
Over the Air Programming Note Section 10 - Secure Communication (Encryption) The radio will reset after a successful download in this mode, but the previous radio profile will remain in use until the radio user or PC Configure operator activates the OTAP parameter. If the OTAP procedure is not successful, the radio will reboot and return to normal operating mode with the current parameters. 10.6.2 OTAP Transfer Times Larger files tie up the radio for a long time.

S E C T I O N Data Features Section11 Advances in digital communication allow for new data features and services using the radio link. This section discusses data features and services available for 5100ES radios 11.1 P25 Trunking Features P25 Trunking supports data service on a P25 Trunking system using an EFJohnson Technologies radio and a portable computer.
PAGE 152
P25 Trunking Features 11.1.2 Section 11 - Data Features Context Activation In order for the radio to access data service on a trunking system, it must be a valid user on the system and it must be affiliated to an RF site. Once this is accomplished, the radio must request data services from the trunked system through the process of context activation; a data registration of the radio with the system. Context activation is initiated from the radio.
