TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED 2.18 KEYLOADING MODE If the TDFM-9200 is equipped with hardware encryption, then the Encryption keys will need to be loaded using a Motorola KVL 3000+® or KVL 4000 Keyloader and a KVL-9000 cable, (TiL P/N 127500). Modules in the TDFM-9200 can easily be keyloaded by simply selecting the band and plugging in the keyloader and cable into the programming connector on the front of the radio.
2.19 FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) MODE TDFM-9200 radios can be ordered with optional Front Panel Programming (FPP) for each Digital module. In addition, the Analog modules also support FPP. Type ”A” modules have the capability to program channel information such as frequencies, PL tones, modulation types, etc. from the front panel.
