Encryption Operation
Conventional Digital and Trunking Channels Encryption equipped radios only.
Option KZA0576 is required for secure communications.
The KNG may optionally be congured for Secure communication on channels
operating in Digital Mode. No encryption is available for analog channels.
Required Setup
Radios that have the DES/AES factory option for encryption must have encryption
keys loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key ll device such as the
Motorola KVL 3000 Plus or KVL 4000 and using a BK Radio keyloader cable. The
radio can hold up to 32 AES and/or DES keys.
After loading keys in the radio, the PC Radio Editor must be used to congure the
radio’s key table and to assign default transmit keys to each channel.
Radios that have the OTAR factory option support Over-the-Air Rekeying of
encryption keys (OTAR). The PC Radio Editor must be used to enable OTAR and
to mark the channel(s) that will communicate with the Key Management Facility
(KMF). In addition, the radio must have key encryption keys (used only to encrypt
other keys) loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key ll device such as the
Motorola KVL 3000 Plus or KVL 4000 and using a BK Radio keyloader cable.
