Press the *9 keys. 2. Enter the telephone number.
MM23016 • The OpenSky network administrator also determines if the emergency is declared on the currently selected talk group or a “default” emergency talk group. Again, this is based upon the radio’s currently active profile. A talk group upon which an emergency is declared on is considered an “emergency talk group.” • Upon successful emergency declaration: ¾ An emergency tone will sound in the radio’s speaker/headset if the radio is not in stealth mode.
MM23016 successfully cleared, the remove tone will sound at the initiating radio. Also, for an emergency call, the asterisk (*) will clear from the display. 6.29.4 Receiving an Emergency Call Upon receiving an emergency call declared by another radio: • An emergency tone sounds in the radio’s speaker/headset (three short high-pitched beeps). • “EMERGENCY” flashes in the display if the radio is not in stealth mode.
MM23016 6.30 ENCRYPTION In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published by the Federal Information Processing Service (FIPS), called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials. When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System (MES) (e.g., M7200 mobile radio). This form of encryption provides air-link security.
MM23016 Perform the following to transmit or receive manually encrypted calls: 1. Press *32 on the keypad. 2. Enter the key (up to 16 digits). 3. Press the # key. 4. To end manual encryption, press *33#. If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group that has been manually encrypted at the radio level, the user will see “Secure Call” on the bottom of the dwell display.
MM23016 1. Press until the “GPS” menu appears in the bottom line of the display. Current GPS coordinate latitude and longitude data continuously scrolls in the top line of the display in a degrees:minutes:seconds format. 2. Use to change to another menu.
