(The radio can be programmed to ignore this press-and-hold function).
Radio Wide Features The Alert Tone volume can be adjusted relative to the volume control setting. This is done by programming and also by the user if the TN VOL option switch 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.
Radio Wide Features and when it is disabled, “HORN OFF” is briefly displayed. It defaults to the OFF mode whenever power is turned on. • If a power turn-off delay is programmed as just described, it is functional during that delay. • When activated, it can be programmed to sound for three 1-second beeps or continuously for 2-90 seconds. It then turns OFF until another Unit call is received. 4.
Radio Wide Features 4.11 Public Address This feature allows a single microphone to be used for either radio or public address. An external public address system can be connected to pin 7 of the radio accessory pigtail cable. This is a low level output, so some sort of PA amplifier is required. The External PA option switch (or menu selection) control this feature.
Radio Wide Features 4.12.1 Priority (Standard) Scanning Priority scanning (also referred to as standard scanning) 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. For more information on scanning functions in the Conventional mode, refer to Section 5.
Radio Wide Features • If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide scanning, scanning continues normally. 4.12.3 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 a call ensures that a response is heard instead of another message occurring on some other channel.
Radio Wide Features 1 While receiving a message on the channel to be deleted, press and hold the SCAN option switch until a tone sounds (approximately 0.5 second). The channel is then deleted and scanning of the remaining channels in the scan list resumes. Note Pressing and holding this switch with scanning OFF may select the scan list. Refer to Section 5.10.1 for more information.
Radio Wide Features 2 Select the desired zone and then scroll through the channels by rotating the Select switch. When the displayed channel is in the scan list (scanned normally), the symbol is displayed next to the zone number as shown in the following illustration. Scan List Indicator 4.13.1.2 Channel Number Selecting a Priority Scan List Conventional Operation - The scan list is user selectable by the SCAN option switch. Refer to Section 5.10.1 for more information.

S E C T I O N 5 Conventional Features Section5 An overview of the conventional operating mode is located in Section 3.7.1. The following information describes the features unique to analog and Project 25 (digital) conventional operation. Refer to the preceding “Radio Wide Features” section (Section 4) for information on features common to all operating modes. 5.
Conventional Features Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the multi-function indicator on the front panel is steady green. If it is green, a carrier is being detected, so the channel may be busy. If it is not, the channel is not being used and a call can be transmitted. Monitor Mode - There may be times when the busy indication is displayed even though no one is using the channel. Monitoring should then be performed by disabling Call Guard squelch (or group ID detect on P25 channels).
Conventional Features 5.3 Busy Channel Lockout The Busy Channel Lockout (also called Transmit Disable on Busy) feature automatically disables the transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch is pressed. When the transmitter is disabled by this feature, “BUSY” is displayed, a busy tone sounds, and the transmitter is disabled. The Busy Channel Lockout feature can be programmed to operate as follows. Each conventional channel can be programmed differently.
Conventional Features 5.4.1 Call Guard Squelch Enable / Disable The SEL SQ option switch (if programmed) can be used to disable receive Call Guard squelch (Normal/Selective Squelch) on analog channels or group ID code detection on P25 channels. This option is also selectable via the menu. When selective squelch is disabled, “SQ NORMAL” is flashed in the display, and when it is enabled, “SQ SELECT” is flashed. When “SQ NORMAL” is selected, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected.
Conventional Features 5.4.4 Selective Squelch Code Select (CTCSS / DSC / NAC) This feature allows the normal transmit and receive Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS/NAC) programming to be temporarily overridden with a code selected from a preprogrammed list. It is available if the SQ LIST option switch and a CTCSS/NAC code list have been programmed. It is also selectable via the menu. In addition, with the Handheld Control Unit (HHC) only, conventional systems can be programmed for the Keypad CTCSS/DSC feature.
Conventional Features 5.5 Penalty Timer A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional systems to prevent transmissions for the programmed time after the time-out timer disables the transmitter (see Section 4.3). The penalty timer can be programmed for the same times as the time-out timer, and timing starts when the PTT switch is released. If the PTT switch is pressed while the timer is running the timer stops, and continues when the PTT switch is released.
Conventional Features Repeater talk-around can be selected if the RTA option switch is programmed. This feature can also be selected via the menu. When talk-around is enabled by this switch, “RTA ON” is flashed in the display, and when it is disabled, “RTA OFF” is flashed. This feature remains enabled during scanning, and changing channels or turning power OFF does not change the selected condition. Talk-around is available on conventional channels only.
Conventional Features Proceed as follows to send an emergency alarm: 1 If required, select a channel of a system on which Emergency Alarms are enabled and then press the EMER option switch. The radio then automatically transmits the emergency alarm. 2 Either Normal or Silent operation can be programmed. With the Normal mode, the red LED lights, the emergency tone sounds, and “EMERGNCY” flashes in the display. This indication continues to flash until the alarm mode is ended (see Step 4).
Conventional Features If the emergency call is sent on a P25 channel, an emergency indication is sent according to the P25 standard (the emergency bit is set in the Common Air Interface). If it is sent on an analog channel, the DTMF Emergency ID is sent in place of the ANI DTMF PTT ID if applicable. Note The DTMF Emergency ID is sent only if pre- or post- DTMF ANI is enabled on the channel by programming. 5.9.3.
Conventional Features 5.10 Conventional Mode Scanning Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.12 and 4.13. The following information describes features unique to conventional operation. 5.10.1 Selecting a Scan List 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.
Conventional Features Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels are those programmed in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the selected channel. Priority/Tx Priority (1) - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels are those programmed in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the priority (1) channel. Priority (1) on Selected - The priority (1) channel is always the selected channel.
Conventional Features The priority channel sampling frequency is determined by the programmed Priority Lookback Time A (see description which follows). For example, if 2.0 seconds is programmed, the priority channel is sampled every 2.0 seconds when listening to a message on a non-priority channel. When not listening to a message, the priority channels are scanned in the normal scan sequence. With dual priority, the first and second priority channels are alternately sampled at the Loopback Time.
Conventional Features 5.11 Standard Conventional Calls Standard conventional calls can be placed to other radios monitoring the selected channel. The proper coded Call Guard squelch tone or code or P25 NAC may need to be transmitted by your radio for them to receive your call (see Sections 5.4 and 5.13.3). 5.11.1 Placing a Standard Conventional Call To place a standard conventional call, proceed as follows: 1 Turn power ON and set the volume as described in Section 3.1.
Conventional Features Pre-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automatically sent each time the PTT switch is pressed. Post-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automatically sent each time the PTT switch is released. When an emergency alarm or call is placed, this ANI signaling is replaced by the Emergency DTMF ID (see Section 5.9). Refer to Section 5.12.3 for information on MDC1200 ANI. 5.12.1 Single Tone Encoder The radio will transmit and send a single tone as programmed in PC Configure.
Conventional Features 5.13 Project 25 Mode Features The following features are unique to conventional P25 channels. 5.13.1 Digital Unit ID Each radio that operates on Project 25 (digital) channels is programmed with an up-toeight-digit unit ID. This ID is unique for each radio and can be any number from 116,777,215. When power is turned on with a Project 25 channel selected, this ID is briefly displayed. 5.13.
Conventional Features User Group ID - If the group ID of the call being received is included in a preprogrammed User Group ID list, the alias programmed in that list for that group is displayed. 5.13.4.1 Changing Talk Group Assigned To a Channel If the TG SEL option switch is programmed, the talk group assigned to a channel can be changed by the user. The operation can also be selected from the menu as Digital Talkgroup Select.
Conventional Features 4 When a unit ID call is received, two beeps sound (if tones are enabled), and “CALL RCVD” and the alias of the Unit ID are alternately flashed. 5 To respond, select the Unit Call mode by pressing the Unit Call option key. - If the call timer times out (set by programming) or the channel is changed before a response is made, the unit call mode is exited. 5.13.6 P25 Conventional Telephone Calls Telephone calls can be placed and received on P25 conventional channels.
Conventional Features 2 Momentarily press the PHONE option switch (or make the menu selection). The display indicates the last number dialed by alternately displaying “LAST NUM” and the telephone number. In addition, the phone mode is indicated by the icon. 3 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired number. The alias and telephone number are alternately displayed. 4 Briefly press the PTT switch to send the access code. A dial tone sound should then be heard.
Conventional Features 5.13.7 Call Alert The Call Alert™ feature allows pages to be sent and received on P25 conventional channels. The Call Alert Encode and Decode options must be enabled to send or receive an alert. Operation is similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked channels. To answer a page: 1 When a page is received, five beeps sound and “PAGE RCVD” is displayed. The ID of the radio paging you is stored as the last ID received. 2 To clear or ignore the page, press any option switch.
Conventional Features 5.13.8 Call History If programmed, the Call History feature stores the IDs of the last five radios that have made talkgroup calls, unit calls, or call alerts to the user’s radio. To view the Call History list: 1 Access Call Alert or Unit Call List History from the menu. The first call displayed is the most recent call received. Calls from mobile radios are indicated by “M”, and calls from portables by a triangle symbol.
Conventional Features 2 To change the current status, rotate the Select switch until the desired status is displayed. Then to send the status, momentarily press the PTT switch. One of the following events then occurs: - If five beeps sound and “ACK RCVD” is displayed, the status was received and acknowledged by the system. - If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed.
Conventional Features Keypad programming allows conventional channel parameters such as the transmit and receive frequency, Call Guard squelch code, and encryption key to be changed. In addition, several conventional mode timers can be changed.

S E C T I O N 6 SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features Section6 An overview of the SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operating modes is located in Section 3.7. The following information describes the features unique to these modes of operation. Refer to the “Radio Wide Features” section, Section 4, for information on features common to all operating modes. 6.1 Analog and Digital Operation Either analog or digital operation can be selected for communication on SmartZone traffic channels.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.2.1 Radio Info button Pressing the Radio Info button (if programmed) or selection of the menu parameter allows the user to display the ID programmed for the currently selected protocol. If the radio is on a digital conventional channel, it shows the digital conventional ID. If the radio is currently on a SmartNet/SmartZone or P25 Trunking channel location, it shows the ID associated with that protocol.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features - If a continuous tone sounds and “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed, you may be out of range of the site or blocked from it by radio-shielding structures or objects. Drive away from shielding structures or objects and try again. If this does not work, drive closer to the site. - If your unit ID is invalid, the call is being made to an invalid group ID, or group calls are not enabled, “DISABLED ID” is displayed and an alert tone sounds.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.4 Private (Unit-To-Unit) Calls Private calls allow calls to be placed to a specific radio unit. Either the Enhanced Private Conversation™ or standard Private Conversation modes may be programmed depending on the capabilities of the radio system. One difference between these call types is that the Enhanced type provides an indication that the called mobile is not on the air and the standard version does not.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features Hand-Held Control Unit (HHC), enter the number using the DTMF keypad. To cancel the call, press the Private Call Option key again. 3 Press the PTT switch to initiate the call. If the entered number is valid, the display indicates the alias of the ID if it matches an ID in the call list. Otherwise, the ID you entered continues to be displayed.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features To make a direct entry using front controls or keypad on the HHC: 1 Press and hold the Private Call option key until a tone sounds (approximately one second). The last ID called is displayed. 2 If using the front panel controls, enter the ID of the radio you are calling (five digits for Private Call, eight digits for Unit Call) by rotating and pressing the Select switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is selected).
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features - The call must be answered within 20 seconds or it is automatically terminated. - If the system is busy when a response is made, “BUSY” is displayed and the busy tone sounds. 6.5 Telephone Calls The telephone call feature allows telephone calls to be placed and received over the public telephone system using your radio. The type of call (secure/clear) is determined by the mode selected by the Clear/Secure option switch or the menu parameter selected.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 2 If using the front panel controls, enter the telephone number by rotating and pressing the Select switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is selected). The 0-9, the *, #, and P (pause) characters can be entered (# is displayed as a “+”). Numbers up to sixteen digits (including pauses) can be entered, and the number scrolls to the left in the display so that the ten right-most digits are always displayed.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 3 When the call is finished, end it by pressing the Phone option switch and placing the microphone back on-hook. 6.6 Call Alert The Call Alert™ feature allows pages to be sent and received. With SMARTNET/ SmartZone operation, either the Enhanced Private Conversation™ or Standard Private Conversation mode may be programmed depending on the capabilities of the radio system. With P25 Trunked operation, operation is similar to the enhanced mode. 6.6.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.6.2 Initiating a Page To initiate a page by recall from a list: 1 With a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel selected, momentarily press the ALERT option switch. The tag (alias) of the last ID called is displayed. 2 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired mobile. The tag of each number is displayed.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.8 Sending Status Conditions The status feature allows you to send your current status to your dispatcher. Up to eight status conditions can be preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. If the Status option switch is programmed, status conditions are sent as follows: 1 Momentarily press the Status option switch. The alias of the current status condition is displayed.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.9.1 Emergency Alarms An emergency alarm is a special transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency situation. It is sent automatically by pressing the Emergency option switch or by selecting the menu parameter. The system to which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Alarms enabled. If not, Emergency Alarms are disabled. The alarm is sent on the control channel.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.9.3 Emergency Calls An emergency call urgently requests access to a voice channel (an emergency tone usually does not sound at the console unless the call is combined with an Emergency Alarm). An emergency call is placed by pressing the Emergency option button. If the Emergency Hot Mic feature is enabled, the emergency call is automatically transmitted without having to press the PTT switch (see following description).
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 4 All group calls which follow are then emergency calls (private, telephone, and call alert calls are not allowed). If the channel is changed, the call is made on the emergency talk group programmed for the new channel. If the Surveillance Mode is enabled (see Section 4.10), all indicators, lights, and tones are disabled.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features • Up to 255 scan lists or the number that fit in available memory can be programmed. Each list can include the number channels/talk groups (enabled for your radio) from the same system, one of which can be a priority group as described in the next section. • If the Scan List Edit option key is programmed (or if the menu parameter is selected), scan lists are user programmable (see Section 6.11.2).
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features The Control Channel handles all traffic for the radios and communicates which talk groups are using which channels. If the radio “receives” the ID for one of its talk groups, it can go to that voice channel and hear the talk group. When the radio is ON the voice channel, it cannot receive information about which talk groups are on which channel.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.12 Dynamic Regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows a dispatcher to change the current talk group or switch radios to a predefined regrouping channel to receive a new talkgroup. When the console issues a regroup order, the radio switches to the preprogrammed regroup talk group.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.13.1 Busy Override The busy override feature is enabled at the system level by the system manager and is not a programmable radio feature. It allows a call to be placed even if not all of the sites you are calling have a free traffic channel. The only sites guaranteed to be included are the Critical Sites and the sites where a Critical User is located.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features Note If a site failure occurs, the radio will automatically leave the failed site and register on another site (after a predetermined delay). When the failed site recovers, the radio will (after a predetermined delay) return to the site. 6.13.4 Locking / Unlocking a Site It is sometimes desirable to stay on a site. To prevent the radio from searching for a new site, lock it on the current site by pressing the LOCK option switch.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.13.7 P25 Wide Area Scan This feature is intended to enhance roaming performance, especially when system level steering through radio or talk group permissions is used. 6.13.8 Normal P25 and SmartZone Control Channel Hunt The following control channel search methods are normally used to find a control channel: Short Hunt - The dynamic array of 7 adjacent sites (SmartZone) or 15 adjacent sites (P25 Trunking) is searched.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features A Wide Area Scan can be programmed to minimize the problem just outlined. This feature is programmed on the Talk Group list screen selected on the P25 System screen. When Wide Area Scan is selected, talk group site preferences are no longer available. However, System Site Preference lists can still be used. The Wide Area Scan feature functions as follows: 1Assume TG1 is selected.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.14.1 Radio Configuration The radio must be programmed for data operations on the Trunked IV & D system. The following parameters apply: Data Registration On/Off - Enables/disables data registration. ICMP Echo - Enables the radio to send back an ICMP response once an ICMP request has been received. CAI Data Max Tx Attempts - Selects the maximum number of times the radio attempts to send a CAI data packet.
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features 6.14.2 Interface Connection The radio connects from its MDP Interface to the RS232 COM port of the computer using the P25 Mobile Data Peripheral (MDP) Interface cable. 6.14.3 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.

S E C T I O N 8 Determining Available Options Section8 This manual describes the operation of all features that are currently available for the 5300 ES radio. However, many of these features are optional and therefore may not be available in your radio. For example, Project 25 trunked operation is optional and may not be available. Availability of optional features is controlled by factory programming of the control logic.
Determining Available Options OTAR Options • OTAR P25 conventional • OTAR P25 trunked Trunking Options • SMARTNET analog operation • SmartZone analog operation • Digital SMARTNET/SmartZone • Multi-Net operation Feature Options • Keypad programming (Federal Government users only) • Full Keypad support • 512 or 864 talk groups depending on option enabled • Custom icons • Zonefail site lock • MDC1200 • 700 MHz Band • Conventional Vote Scan Currently, the only operating mode that is standard with all models

Password Description 9-4 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
S E C T I O N 10 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. If equipped with the Clear/Secure option switch and the current channel is programmed to allow switch selection, secure communication can be manually enabled and disabled by that switch.
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 (see Section 10.2), and not by the PC Configure programming software.
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). This ID plus the algorithm ID (ALGID) is transmitted in the message on digital channels.
Secure Communication (Encryption) or digital encryption, and can also be used with the with the Motorola KVL-3000 Plus. With this mode, keys are loaded into a SLN (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 talk group the same. For example, as shown in Figure 10.
Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.2.5 Encryption Key Erase A KY CLR option switch 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. On a mobile radio, you must press the erase keys button twice within a small period of time for the keys to be erased. 10.2.
Secure Communication (Encryption) If the channel has been strapped “Clear” and the option switch selects the “Secure” mode on power up and a transmission is attempted, “CLEAR ONLY” is displayed and transmitting is disabled. Likewise, if the channel is strapped “Secure” and the option switch selects the “Clear” mode on power up and a transmission is attempted, “SECURE ONLY” is displayed and the transmitter is disabled. The radio can be programmed to ignore the “Clear” or “Secure” switch setting.
Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.3.3 Talk Group Encryption Override On conventional digital (P25) channels, the encryption strapping mode and PID are programmed on a per talk group basis similar to the trunked modes (SMARTNET/ SmartZone/P25 Trunked). However, with this mode only, there is the option to override the talk group encryption programming and program it on a per-channel basis. Therefore, if desired on conventional digital channels, encryption can be programmed differently for each channel.
Secure Communication (Encryption) may be unique to a particular radio (UKEK) or common to a group of radios (CKEK). The SMA or KVL-3000 create only UKEKs, therefore you create and load UKEKs before using OTAR. 10.4.2 Keysets To simplify key management, OTAR divides the TEK keyspace into multiple sets. Exactly one of these sets is said to be active at any given time, and only keys in the currently active set will be selected for use when encrypting voice traffic.
Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.4.3 Key Management Facility The Key Management Facility (KMF) provides key management and OTAR functions to applicable radios within the radio system. One of the main tasks of the KMF is to maintain a data base of encryption information contained in each radio.
Secure Communication (Encryption) When determining this number, consider the likelihood of someone trying to spoof the system by retransmitting recorded messages and then adjust the MNP accordingly. The higher the risk, the smaller the MNP should be. A disadvantage of setting a low MNP is that the chance of rejecting valid messages becomes higher. In addition, traffic level and terrain contribute to lost messages and should also be considered when selecting this number.
Secure Communication (Encryption) Key Encryption Key (KEK) - A key used to encrypt keys contained in Key Management Messages (KMMs) during OTAR. These messages may themselves be encrypted by a TEK. These keys can be the AES or DES type. There are KEKs unique to a subscriber unit (UKEK) and common to a group (CKEK). The other type of key is the Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) used to encrypt voice and data messages.
Secure Communication (Encryption) Rekey - The process of preparing, sending, and loading encryption keys into a subscriber unit for current or future use. This may be done over-the-air (OTAR) or by directly connecting a keyloader to the subscriber unit. Radio Set Identifier (RSI) - Subscriber units are programmed with one or two Radio Set Identifier (RSI) numbers that identify the unit for OTAR purposes. The RSI can be unique to an individual subscriber unit or unique to a group of subscriber units.
Secure Communication (Encryption) Program Channel/Group PIDs and Encryption Type - With conventional analog calls, this information is programmed on the channel screen. With other types, it is programmed in the talk group list selected on the system screen. In addition, with conventional digital calls, the group programming can be overridden on the channel screen (see Section 10.3.3). Additional PIDs for special calls can also be specified on the system screen for digital and trunked calls.
Secure Communication (Encryption) KMF RSI - This RSI is normally 9,999,999 and should not need to be loaded since it defaults to this number. Verify that the above information was properly stored in the radio by viewing it using the keyloader. 10.6 Radio OTAR Capabilities The OTAR capabilities of the SEM-equipped 5300 ES mobile radio are as follows. Keysets • Up to three keysets are used and it is assumed all three are always present. Keyset IDs 1 and 2 are for TEKs and only one is active at a time.
Secure Communication (Encryption) MODIFY KEY 0x13 MODIFY KEYSET ATTRIBUTES 0x14 MODIFY KEYSET ATTRIBUTES RESPONSE 0x15 NEGATIVE ACK 0x16 NO SERVICE 0x17 REKEY ACK 0x1D REKEY 0x1E WARM START 0x20 ZEROIZE 0x21 ZEROIZE RESPONSE 0x22 OTAR REGISTRATION 0x25 OTAR REGISTARTION RESPONSE 0x26 UNABLE TO DECRYPT 0x27 10.6.1 OTAR Option Switches The following additional option switches can be programmed with the 5300 ES mobile radio to control OTAR functions.
Secure Communication (Encryption) No Service - A “No Service” reply was received from the KMF. No rekeying will take place. Rekey Fail - Either the rekey command failed or timed out (after approximately 30 seconds). This message could indicate that the rekey request message was not received by the KMF. However, depending on the KMF configuration and channel traffic, it is possible that the message was received and a response is still pending.
Secure Communication (Encryption) A sign that has not successfully OTAR registered is that the radio’s data context icon will be on, but the radio will periodically keep going back to the data channel (the data channel icon will periodically come ON and then OFF). The number of times the radio will attempt to OTAR register and the amount of time it will wait between events is configured in PC Configure. 10.
Secure Communication (Encryption) Note 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. 10.7.2 OTAP Transfer Times Larger files tie up the radio for a long time.
