October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 10-17
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.
10.7 Over the Air Programming
OTAP is an “Over the Air” programming feature for the subscriber parameter (code plug)
files. Using the OTAP feature, parameter files can be updated and changed in the field,
eliminating the need to take the radio out of service to perform the updates. OTAP
requires conventional P25 data infrastructure. It is not supported in P25 Trunking.
Firmware updates cannot be made using this feature. Firmware version 6.6.x (ES) or later
is required to use this feature.
10.7.1 Radio Set Up
The current profile in the radio controls how an OTAP download is handled. How this is
set determines the possible actions the radio should take: “Prompt”, “Activate”, and “Off-
line”.
Prompt (this option not functional for Model I radios)
- the radio displays the message “ACTIVATE?” after a successful OTAP download,
prompting the radio user to respond.
- On portable subscriber units, the user should press the <F2> button to indicate an
affirmative answer or the <F1> button to indicate a negative answer.
Activate
- the new parameters are automatically written to the EEPROM upon a successful
download.
Off-line
- the parameters are stored in Flash memory until activated with PC Configure or by
the radio user. The activation method for the radio requires having either a menu item
or a button assigned to the “Activate OTAP” function. The download completion
action and any buttons/menu items must be programmed in PC Configure prior to
beginning an OTAP procedure if an action other than the default “Prompt” is desired.
The radio must also be registered with the data router for an OTAP procedure to take
place.
