S E C T I O N General Operation Section 3 This section provides general information about the operation of the 5300 ES Mobile radios. The following information is discussed: • Turning Power On/Off and Setting the Volume • Passwords • Backlight controls and display viewing • Displaying and Selecting Zones/Channels • Setting Squelch Control • Transmit Disable • Radio Operating Modes 3.1 Turning Power On and Setting Volume Power is turned on and off by pressing the On-Off/Volume knob.
The Home Zone and Channel are preprogrammed. With the “Last Zone”/“Home Channel” configuration, the programmed home channel number of the last active zone is selected. If this channel number is not programmed in the active zone, “Unprogramd” is displayed. With earlier models, the last selected channel is displayed when powering up on the last selected zone, and the home channel is displayed when powering up on the home zone.
3.3 Backlight Control and Display Viewing Angle Adjust If the BKLHT option switch is programmed, it can be used to select high, medium, or off backlight modes. Otherwise, the keypad and display backlight is fixed in one of these modes by programming. The backlight is totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is programmed (see Section 4.9).
3.4.2 Zone/Channel Select The front panel Select switch is used to change the zone and channel. Pressing this switch toggles between the zone and channel select modes, and rotating it changes the zone or channel. The current mode is indicated by the bar over the zone or channel display. For example, when the bar is over the zone display (see following illustration), the zone select mode is enabled.
Proceed as follows to select channels using this mode: 1 Enable the direct Channel Select mode by pressing the Channel Select option switch. The alias and sequential number of the current channel are alternately displayed. 2 Select the desired channel using the Up/Down keys or directly enter it using the 0-9 keys. If using the 0-9 keys, the radio attempts to display the entered number after the third digit is entered or approximately two seconds after the last key is pressed.
3.7 Radio Operating Modes Each selectable channel can be programmed for the conventional (analog or Project 25 digital), SMARTNET/SmartZone, or Project 25 digital trunked operating mode. For example, Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a SMARTNET channel, and so on. More information on these modes follows. 3.7.1 Conventional Mode This is a non-trunked operating mode which accesses independent radio channels. There is no automatic access to several channels.
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is selected or the radio is powered up on one of those channels, it searches for a control channel. Once a control channel is found, the alias (name) of the selected channel is displayed and the radio attempts to register on the radio system.
3.7.4.1 Systems A system is a collection of channels or talk groups belonging to the same repeater site. It defines all the parameters and protocol information required to access a site. Up to 16 systems of any type can be programmed. The maximum number of channels assignable to a system is limited to 256. Channels may also be limited by available memory space as described in the following information. 3.7.4.
S E C T I O N Radio Wide Features Section 4 This section describes Radio Wide features including: • Option Switches • Time-Out Timer • Home Zone-Channel Select • Power Output Select • Alert Tone Select • Power Turn-Off Delay • Horn Alert • Microphone Off-Hook Detect • Surveillance Mode • Public Address • Scanning • Scan Lists 4.
The six option switches on the front panel (one is located to the left of the display) can be programmed by the PC Configure programmer to control a different set of functions for each of the three operating modes. Therefore, up to 18 different functions can be controlled by these switches (six each for conventional, SMARTNET/SmartZone, and P25 Trunking). The available functions in each mode and the section in which each is described are shown in Table 4.1. Table 4.

4.3 Home Zone-Channel Select If the HOME zone option switch is programmed, pressing it selects the preprogrammed home zone and channel. This provides a quick way of returning to a frequently used zone and channel. Pressing and holding this switch until a tone sounds makes the currently selected zone the new Home zone. The radio is also programmed so that either the home or last selected zone/channel is automatically selected when power is turned on (see Section 3.1).
4.6 Power Turn-Off Delay The radio can be installed so that the vehicle ignition switch as well as the front panel power switch of the radio control power. This is done by connecting the accessory cable ignition switch input to the vehicle ignition switch. Refer to the Installation section of the 5300 ES Service Manual for more information. A power-off delay of up to 254 minutes can then be programmed or this feature can be disabled by programming “Forever” so there is no automatic power off.
4.8 Microphone Off-Hook Detect The microphone hanger can be connected to chassis ground and the radio programmed to detect an off-hook condition (Hangup Box Monitor selected). The following operation then occurs when the microphone is taken off-hook: Conventional Channel Selected - Scanning temporarily halts (if applicable) and the Monitor Mode described in Section 5.2 is enabled. However, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected.
If the microphone off-hook condition is detected (Hangup Box Monitor selected by programming), scanning stops and selective squelch (such as Call Guard CTCSS or NAC/ group ID detect) is disabled on conventional channels. If the off-hook condition is not detected, taking the microphone off-hook has no affect on radio operation.
4.11.2 Radio Wide Scanning Note Use radio wide scanning only if two different types of channels need to be scanned at the same time such as conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone. Otherwise, use the more efficient priority scanning because there is less chance of missed calls. Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the preprogrammed radio wide scan list. This scan list may contain up to 16 channels of any type assigned to any zone (see Section 4.12.2).
Radio Wide Scan Mode - The radio can be programmed to transmit on the selected or active channel similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just described. 4.11.5 Nuisance Channel Delete With priority scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from the scan list, for example, if messages become annoying. This feature is not available with radio wide scanning. Channels can also be permanently added or deleted from a scan list as described in the next sections.
4.12.1.1 Determining Channels in Priority Scan List Channels in the conventional priority scan lists are determined as follows. Channels in the SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked priority scan lists are indicated only when editing a list (see “Editing a Priority Scan List”). 1 Enable Priority scanning as described in Section 4.11.1. Also select the scan list if applicable as described in the following “Selecting a Priority Scan List” description.
user programming is disabled on a list (conventional channels only), “NO EDIT” is momentarily displayed and it cannot be edited. 4 Select the channel you want to add or delete by rotating the Select switch. After the last channel in the current zone is displayed, the first valid channel in the next zone is displayed and vice versa. Lists are limited to 256 channels. If an attempt is made to add more than 256, “LIST FULL” is displayed and a channel must be deleted before another can be added.
Scan List Indicator 4.12.2.2 Chnl No. Editing a Radio Wide Scan List If the RWS ED option switch is programmed, the radio wide scan list can be edited. Changes are permanent (cycling power does not reselect a default condition). Proceed as follows: 1 Make sure that both priority and radio wide scanning are off (the rotating icon is not indicated in the right status display). Select the scan edit mode by pressing the RWS ED option switch.
S E C T I O N Conventional Features Section 5 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.
Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the multi-function indicator on the front panel is steady green. If it is not, the channel is not being used and a call can be transmitted. If it is green, a carrier is being detected, so the channel may be busy. 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).
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.
When “SQ Normal” is selected, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected. Scanning and P25 NAC detection are not disabled with this mode selected. The selected mode remains in effect until it is manually changed. Selecting another channel or cycling power does not reselect a default condition. There is a programmable option to display “MON” when the “SQ Normal” mode is selected. 5.4.2 Tone Call Guard Squelch Tone-type Call Guard squelch utilizes subaudible CTCSS tones from 67-254.1 Hz.
In addition, with the Handheld Control Unit (HHC) only, conventional systems can be programmed for the Keypad CTCSS/DSC feature. Codes can then be selected directly from the table by pressing the key for the code. For example, to select code 3 from the table, simply press the “3” key. No other conventional mode functions can then be assigned to these keys. The CTCSS/DCS/NAC list is programmed with up to 64 tone (CTCSS) or digital (DCS) Call Guard codes.
5.6 Conversation Timer A conversation timer can be programmed on conventional systems in addition to the timeout timer (see Section 4.2). This timer limits that total length of a conversation rather than just the length of each transmission as with the time-out timer. The following is more information on this timer. • It can be programmed for times up to 7.5 minutes. • It is reset when the time between transmissions exceeds the time programmed for the penalty timer.
5.9 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 switch 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.
5.9.2 Emergency Calls The Emergency Call feature allows a user to place an emergency voice call by pressing the PTT switch after 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). The system to which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Calls enabled. Analog and Digital (P25) calls can be individually enabled.
5 To exit this mode, cycle radio power or press and hold the Emergency switch. 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 Selecting a Scan List Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by all channels in that system.
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. The radio transmits on the selected channel.
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.
5.11 Standard Conventional Calls Standard conventional calls can be placed to other mobile units 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 5.15.3). 5.11.1 Placing a Standard Conventional Call 1 Turn power on and set the volume as described in Section 3.1. Select the channel programmed for the mobile you want to call (see Section 3.4.2).
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 5.14 for information on MDC1200 ANI. 5.13 Single Tone Encoder This feature is not available with the 5300 ES mobile. It is available with the 5100 portable only. 5.14 MDC1200 Compatibility MDC1200 is a signaling protocol designed and implemented by Motorola for analog channels only. The following features of this protocol are supported.
5.15.2 Group ID Code Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a group ID that determines which group of mobiles will receive the call. A call is received on a channel if a selected or scanned channel is programmed with that ID and the correct NAC is detected (see following). Group IDs can be any number from 0-65,535. Group ID detect can be disabled by the Normal/Selective squelch function described in Section 5.4 and the Monitor Mode described in Section 5.2. 5.15.
3 To select that talk group and return to normal operation, press the TG SEL switch again or press the Select switch. If talk group selection has been disabled on the channel by programming, the talk group does not change, “NO LIST” is displayed, and a tone sounds. 5.15.5 P25 Unit Calls Unit calls (also called Individual Calls) can be placed to a specific radio on Project 25 channels If the CALL option switch is programmed. Only the individual ID of the target radio is sent (a talk group ID is not sent).
5.15.6 P25 Conventional Telephone Calls Telephone calls can be placed and received on P25 conventional channels. This feature allows telephone calls to be placed and received over the public telephone system using your radio.
For direct entry using front panel controls or the keypad on the HHC: 1 Select the conventional channel that is programmed to select the desired access and deaccess codes. 2 Press and hold the PHONE option switch until a tone sounds (approximately one second). The alias of the last called telephone number is displayed if it is in the phone number list. Otherwise, only the last eight digits are displayed. In addition, the phone mode is indicated by the icon.
2 To clear or ignore the page, press any option switch. If the PTT switch is pressed, a group call is placed on the selected channel. 3 To answer the page as a unit call (see Section 5.15.5), press the CALL (Private/Unit) option switch and the alias of the mobile paging you is displayed. Press the PTT switch and respond. One of the following conditions then occur: • If the mobile being called is on the air, ringing is heard until the called party answers or for 20 seconds, whichever occurs first.
• If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed. 5.15.9 Status Messaging The status messaging feature allows you to manually or automatically send your current status to your dispatcher on P25 channels. 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.
Since keypad programming is permitted by Federal Government users only, only Federal models of this transceiver can be programmed with this feature. It is then available only if it has been enabled by factory programming and a conventional mode option switch is programmed for the “Keypad Programming” function. Keypad programming is selected by pressing the PROG option switch (password entry is not required).

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. With the HHC, enter the number using the DTMF keypad (a pause indicated by “P” is entered by * #).
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. 6.6.1 Answering a Page 1 When a page is received, five beeps sound and “PAGE” is displayed. The ID of the mobile paging you is stored as the last ID received.
• If five beeps sound, the system received the page and the paged mobile is on the air and received it. The page mode is automatically exited. • If the system received the page but the called mobile is not on the air, a single beep sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed 6 seconds after the PTT switch is pressed. Auto exit then occurs. 6.7 Messaging Note This feature is not available with P25 trunked operation. The messaging feature allows preprogrammed messages to be sent to your dispatcher.
6.9 Emergency Alarm and Call Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked system. The Emergency option switch is required for these functions. Other emergency features are as follows: • Emergency Alarms are transmitted on the selected talk group if emergency calls are disabled, and on the emergency talk group if emergency calls are enabled. • Emergency Call talk group selection priority is as follows.
4 The radio continues to transmit this message until an acknowledgment is received or the programmed number of attempts have been made. The emergency alarm mode is exited when radio power is cycled, the channel is changed, or by pressing and holding the Emergency option switch. 6.9.2 Emergency Calls An emergency call urgently requests access to a voice channel (an emergency tone usually does not sound at the console).
6.10 Failsoft Operation If a failure occurs in the SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 Trunked system so that it cannot be used, the system directs the radio to automatically enter the failsoft mode. When in this mode, “FAILSOFT” and the alias of the selected channel are alternately displayed. A failsoft tone may also be heard, depending on how the repeater is programmed.
6.11.1 Priority Talk Group Sampling One talk group in the scan list can be designated a priority talk group by programming or it can be the selected talk group. When scanning, messages on a non-priority talk group are interrupted by messages on the priority talk group. Priority scanning must also be supported at the system level for it to occur as programmed in the radio. 6.11.
Otherwise, if the lock mode was not specified, the selected talk group can be manually changed and the previous talk group is reselected if power is cycled. If a locked regroup command is received, the displayed talk group cannot be changed manually or by cycling power. It can be changed only after a clear order is received from the console.
6.13.2 Site Trunking Site trunking occurs when a site can no longer participate in wide area trunking. It is disconnected from other sides and only supports calls with other radios on that site and cannot route audio to other sites. When site trunking is occurring, the radio searches for other sites that may provide wide area coverage.
the infrastructure to operate. This feature is intended to prevent some of the confusion resulting from a site controller failure. When this occurs, all sites go into the Site Trunking mode and radios continue to roam normally according to RSSI level. The result is that the various radios selected by a particular talk group may be operating on different sites and are unable to talk to each other (see Section 6.13.2 for more Site Trunking information).
6.13.8 Talkgroup Steering Via System Access Permissions In order to use system channel resources more efficiently, some system operators are using system access permissions to steer certain talkgroups to particular sites. For example, a police department may be allowed to use only Site 1, and a public works department may be allowed to use only Site 2.

S E C T I O N Miscellaneous Section 7 7.1 Supervisory Tones Single Beep (Alert Tone) • Power was turned on and a successful power-up sequence occurred (see Section 3.1). • The time-out timer is about to expire or the penalty timer has expired (Section 4.2). • The conversation timer is about to expire (Section 5.6). • The system received your page but the paged mobile is not on the air (Section 6.6). • Telephone interconnect is not operational (Section 6.5).
Single Short Low-Pitch Tone • An invalid key has been pressed. Medium Tone (No Acknowledge) • The paged mobile did not acknowledge the page (Section 6.6). • The message that was sent has not been acknowledged (Section 6.7). • The status condition that was sent has not been acknowledged (Section 6.8). Five Beeps (Recurring) • The page was received (Section 6.6). Two Short Tones • A unit-to-unit call was received (Section 6.6).
Three Medium Pitch Tones • A channel is available after a busy condition occurred (SMARTNET/SmartZone only). 7.2 Error Messages The following are definitions of the various error messages that may be displayed. Aff Failed - A group affiliation attempt has received a FAILED response from the system. The precise reason for a FAILED response is manufacturer dependent. Aff Deny - A group affiliation attempt has received a DENIED response from the system.
Corupt Prm - The radio has detected that its profile/user parameters are not valid because the functional blocks can not be identified. Denied - A group call attempt has received a DENIED response from the system. Deny - A unit or interconnect call attempt has received a DENIED response from the system. Disabled - The feature that the user is attempting to use has been disabled on the radio either by programming or by factory options.
Lost Signl - Signal from the infrastructure has been lost during an interconnect call. Low Power - The current channel is strapped to low power and that the user can not select high power at this time. Msg Failed - The current channel is strapped to low power and that the user can not select high power at this time. Narrow - The current conventional channel is programmed as a narrow channel. No Ack - The radio did not receive an ACK for the current signaling attempt.
VOLTAGE LO - The input voltage to the mobile is too low. Write Fail - The radio is unable to write to the EEPROM. 7.3 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 your system operator when the radio was set up, not to any programming that a user can perform.
Since power consumption is significantly higher when transmitting, it is good practice to have the vehicle running while transmitting. This ensures that optimum power is being delivered to the radio and that the battery does not become discharged. 7.7 Licensing A government license is usually required to operate this radio on the air. 7.8 Radio Service If “UNPROGRAMD” is displayed, the cause could be any of the following: • An unprogrammed channel is selected. Select a programmed channel.

S 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 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.
Trunking Options • STAR roaming with P25 trunked operation • SMARTNET analog operation • SmartZone analog operation • Digital SMARTNET/SmartZone • Multi-Net operation Feature Options • Keypad programming (Federal Gov’t users only) • Zonefail site lock Currently, the only operating mode that is standard with all models is the conventional analog mode. Other variables such as frequency range are hardware dependent instead of software dependent. 8.
4 The check boxes indicate which options are enabled in the radio. They are for informational purposes only and cannot be edited. 8.2.
Figure 8.
S E C T I O N 5300 ES Mobile Firmware Versions Section 9 There currently are four different firmware versions in use in 53xx radios (Does the four respond to Version 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x or should we say one firmware version 4.6.x and above?. Firmware is the Application code which controls the operation of the radio. It is not the standard personality information programmed by the PC Configure programming software.
9.3 Programming Software Required Radios with 4.6.x or higher firmware and earlier model radios upgraded to 5.9 file format are compatible with PC Configure 2.4.x. The “5300 ES” Radio Series is selected for both boards. The software automatically detects which board is used when parameters are written to the radio.
S E C T I O N Password Description Section 10 A password feature is available for 5300 ES mobiles. The following passwords may be set: • Four Power-On (User x) Passwords • Download and Upload Passwords • Master Password 10.0.1 Software Versions Required The following revised PC Configure and radio software is required for enhanced password features: PC Configure 2.4.1 or later is compatible with 5300 ES Mobile radios Version 4.6.x or later Models Earlier Version Models that have been updated to 5.
Passwords must be 1-8 characters in length and consist of the numbers 0-9. Zeros are valid characters in any location, even as leading characters. Initially, all passwords are null (deleted) characters. Therefore, when initially programming a password, no entry is required in the “Original/Master Password” box. 10.1.1 Lost Passwords If a password is lost, it can be changed using PC Configure by entering the Master password (see following).
10.2 Password Description 10.2.1 User (Power-On) Passwords When a User Password is enabled, it must be entered each time radio power is turned on. Up to four different User Passwords (User 1/User 2/User 3/User 4) can be programmed. Currently, the same radio features are enabled for each. Entering any User Password at power up enables normal radio operation. 10.2.

S E C T I O N Secure Communication (Encryption) Section 11 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 or transmitted, is indicated in the display (see Section 11.2.6).
• DES-OFB - A form of DES encryption for digital channels that uses output feedback. This protocol does not result in the degraded range that occurs with analog channels. 11.1.2 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 radios currently support only 256-bit AES keys.

11.2.1 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. The radio receiving the message must have a key programmed with the same IDs in order to decrypt it. 11.2.2 PID/SLN Key Management Modes Note The term “SLN” from the Project 25 specification is equivalent to “CKR” (Common Key Reference) also used to define this parameter.
With 5300 ES mobile models, the keys are maintained for approximately eight hours with this feature disabled. However, a tamper switch causes immediate key erasure when the radio cover over the logic board is removed. 11.2.4 Encryption Key Select Note This feature is available on conventional channels only. When multiple encryption keys are programmed (see preceding information), the KY SEL option switch can be programmed to allow selection of another key for the current channel.
11.3 Clear/Secure Strapping 11.3.1 Transmit Mode Options The following transmit options are available when encryption is selected: Clear - All calls are in the clear mode unless responding to a secure call. If the response is then made within the delay time (see Section 4.11.3), it occurs in the secure mode. Secure - All calls are made in the selected secure mode. Switched - The mode is selected by the C/S (Clear/Secure) option switch.
Proper Key Autodetect Analog Channels - When this feature is disabled and a message is received with the wrong key, the audio unmutes and garbled (encrypted) audio is heard. However, if this occurs with this feature enabled, the audio remains muted. Digital Channels - When this feature is enabled and a message is received with a different key, but the key resides in the radio, the audio is decrypted and received normally even though the key is assigned to a different talk group.
11.4.1 Encryption Key Types There are two types of keys used with OTAR: TEK (Traffic Encryption Key) - The key used to encrypt voice and data traffic. All radios using encryption must have at least one of these keys. This is also another name for the keys used without OTAR. KEK (Key Encryption Key) - The key used to encrypt keys contained in OTAR Key Management Messages (KMMs). All radios which use OTAR must contain at least one of these keys.

However, only two keysets are typically used as just described. Crypto groups are used to help manage keys such as when a radio uses keys with different active times or multiple algorithms.
Figure 11.3 Encryption Parameter IDs Crypto Group ID (4-Bit = 0-15/0-F) xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx SLN/CKR ID 16-Bit = 0-65535/0-FFFF xxxx Keyset ID 8-Bit = 0-255/0-FF 11.4.4 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 information contained in each radio.
11.4.5 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 11.5.1. This parameter is used to minimize the possibility of someone sending messages to “spoof” the system. The MNP is used as follows. Every message sent out has a message number. The message number increments by one with each message sent. The MNP is the maximum difference allowed between messages.
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. Cryptographic Variable - The variable used by a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt a message. Also called a “key”. Currency - Relates to the need for key updates.
Key Loader - Any type of device used to load encryption keys into a radio. With OTAR, this device must be used to provide the initial key loading of a subscriber unit so that it contains the basic keys needed for OTAR by the KMF. If OTAR is not utilized, is always used to load encryption keys. All keys stored in the key loader are themselves encrypted. EFJohnson offers a PDA-based keyloader. Logical Link ID (LLID) - An ID transmitted with a data message to identify the destination of the message.
11.5 Radio Setup For Encryption The following radio setup is required for encryption regardless of whether OTAR is used: Options Enabled - The desired encryption type must have been enabled at the factory (DES, DES-OFB, AES). To determine what options are enabled, using the PC Configure programming software, select the Transfer > Read Options From Radio menu parameter.
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. When data registration is enabled, the radio registers with the data system on a channel change. 4 Also on this screen, set the other OTAR and Data parameters.
Verify that the above information was properly stored in the radio by viewing it using the keyloader. 11.6 Radio OTAR Capabilities This section discusses Radio Over The Air Rekeying (OTAR) capabilities for the UCM Equipped 5300 ES. 11.6.1 SEM 5300 ES The OTAR capabilities of the SEM-equipped 5300 ES mobile are as follows. Refer to Section Section 9 for more version information. Keysets • Up to three keysets are used and it is assumed all three are always present.
INVENTORY 0x0D INVENTORY RESPONSE 0x0E 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 11.6.2 UCM Equipped 5300 ES The 5300 ES UCM versions (see Section 9) use the Motorola UCM encryption module. Therefore, the OTAR capabilities are determined by that module. All capabilities of the Motorola KVL and KMF are supported.
No Ack - No response was received from the KMF in response to an Identify request before time out occurred (approximately 30 seconds). Ack Rcvd - An acknowledgement was received in response to an Identify request. 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.
