SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Features The result of this operation is that all radios with the same programmed home site are forced to the home site to communicate which ensures that they can continue to communicate. If the home site is not available, the Out-of-Range condition tells the user to attempt communication on another system or by some other means.
Page 106 SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Features 1 Assume TG1 is selected. If it is the first time this talk group is selected, normal searching for a control channel occurs according to the hunt methods previously described. 2 When another talk group is selected, the active valid site for TG1 is stored in EEPROM memory.

Page 113: System Operator Programming
Miscellaneous System Operator Programming As noted several times in this manual, programming determines the availability and specific operation of many features. This usually refers to the programming performed by the PC Configure programmer when the radio was set up, not to any programming a user can perform.
Page 114 Miscellaneous If “Unprogramd” is displayed, the cause could be any of the following: • An unprogrammed channel is selected. Select a programmed channel. • The selected channel is programmed for an option that is not installed or an error in programming was detected.
Page 115: Determining Available Options
E C T I O N Determining Available Options Section 8 This manual describes the operation of all features that are currently available for the 51xx ES radio. However, many of these features are optional and therefore may not be available in your radio.
Page 116: Upgrading A Radio With New Options
Determining Available Options • Digital SMARTNET/SmartZone Feature Options • Keypad programming (Federal Government users only) • 512 channels/talk groups (51xx ES, currently standard) • DTMF Keypad support • Zonefail site lock Currently, the only operating mode that is standard with all models is the conventional analog mode.
Page 117: Using Pc Configure To Determine Options
Determining Available Options Using PC Configure To Determine Options To determine what software options have been enabled in a particular radio, it is recommended that you use the PC Configure™ programming software to read and display what options are installed. Proceed as follows: 1 Connect the computer to the radio and start the program as described in the documentation included with the PC Configure software.

Page 123: Secure Communication (Encryption)
E C T I O N Secure Communication (Encryption) Section 10 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.
Page 124: Aes (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.1.2 AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) A new 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 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.
Page 125: Pid/Sln Key Management Modes
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 126: Maintaining Keys In Memory
Secure Communication (Encryption) Number), typically from 0-4095. A 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 via OTAR while keeping the mapping from the channel or talk group the same. For example, as shown in Figure 10.1, PID 4 selects SLN 24 which selects key slot 24 in both keysets.
Page 127: Encryption Key Erase
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.
Page 128: Receive Mode Options
Secure Communication (Encryption) Note If all channels/talk groups are strapped clear or secure and no Clear/Secure option switch or menu parameter is programmed, this parameter must always be selected (see following). If the Clear/Secure switch or menu parameter are not programmed, the radio is always in the last known state (usually Clear) and there is no way to change it.
Page 129: Encryption Key Types
Secure Communication (Encryption) The actual OTAR rekeying functions are performed by a Key Management Facility (KMF) that sends Key Management Messages (KMM) to the radios. These messages are themselves encrypted using an encryption key. Radios must be OTAR-compatible and programmed for OTAR for this type of rekeying to occur. OTAR is available only on P25 conventional and trunked channels, and only to program DES-OFB and AES keys.
Page 130: Key Management Facility
Secure Communication (Encryption) A diagram of a keyset is shown in Figure 10.2. Some information may be optional as shown. Figure 10.2 Keyset Diagram 16-Bit Keyset ID Keyset Name (Opt) SLN 1 SLN 2 SLN 4095 10.4.3 Key Management Facility The Key Management Facility (KMF) provides key management and OTAR functions to applicable radios within the radio system.
Page 131: Message Number Period (Mnp)
Secure Communication (Encryption) 10.4.4 Message Number Period (MNP) One of the parameters that is programmed in a radio utilizing OTAR is Message Number Period (MNP). This parameter is programmed as described in Section 10.5.2. This parameter is used to minimize the possibility of someone sending messages to “spoof” the system or radio.
Page 132 Secure Communication (Encryption) Crypto Group - A group of up to 16 keysets containing the same type of keys (either TEK or KEK). Although a crypto group can contain up to 16 keysets, only two are normally used. Only one keyset in a crypto group is active at a time. EFJohnson radios currently support only one crypto group for TEKs, crypto group 0.
Page 133: Radio Setup For Encryption
Secure Communication (Encryption) Logical Link ID (LLID) - An ID transmitted with a CAI data message to identify the destination of the message. Message Number Period (MNP) - The maximum difference between message numbers that can occur before a message is declared invalid (see Section 10.4.4). Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) - The process of sending new encryption keys over the air using an RF interface.
Page 134: Additional Setup For Otar
Secure Communication (Encryption) Options Enabled - The desired encryption type must have been enabled at the factory (DES, DES-OFB, AES-OFB). To determine what options are enabled, using the PC Configure programming software, select the Transfer > Read Options From Radio menu parameter.
Page 135: Motorola Third-Party Rnc Registration
Secure Communication (Encryption) 2 On the Global screen, Page 2, set the Unit RSI ID as desired (normally this ID is initially the same as the Digital Unit ID). It can be changed later by the KMF or keyloader if desired. Note these two IDs. 3 On the Per System Conventional screen, Page 2, for OTAR and Data Settings, select OTAR Enabled = On and Data Registration Enabled = On.
Page 136: Radio Otar Capabilities
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.
