AEGIS OPERATION VOICE MODES Aegis programmed systems have three (3) different voice modes: clear (analog), digital and private (encrypted). The voice modes are programmed on a pergroup basis within each trunked system and on a perchannel basis within each conventional system. Mode 1: Clear Modes The Aegis clear mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and nonencrypted.
transmitted clear if the digital mode is disabled or inoperative. 1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time on the working channel. 2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time. 3.
Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An individual key is automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio programming. Groups and channels within the Aegis system can be programmed for keys 1-7 (DES and VGE). Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for Aegis (DES and VGE) systems. The bank is specified per system.
2. Plug the modular connector of the Keyloader cable into the Keyloader modular jack. 3. Connect the Keyloader cable to the UDC on the radio. 4. Press the PWR button on the Keyloader and wait for the Keyloader to display “MASTER MODE”. 5. Press the TRN button on the Keyloader. If necessary, select a different cryptographic key to be transferred into the radio. 6. Turn the radio on.
