XTS5000 ADP vs. UCM question

[mac1_131]

Hi I've seen a couple conflicting posts floating around about software-based ADP vs. hardware based encryption.

I have an XTS5000 host 14 that has the flash code for software based encryption, which works fine.

I really don't need ADP so I got a UCM for it, but when I enable hardware encryption it doesn't seem to talk to the UCM at all, and says PLEASE WAIT for a while then fail 09/10. I verified the UCM is fine using another radio.

Can anyone confirm for sure that the existence of Q667 in the flashcode kills the ability to use a hardware UCM, or is my main board possibly bad?

thanks

Q667 does NOT kill the ability to use a UCM in the radio. What may be happening is that there is a firmware mismatch between the UCM and radio (but that's just a guess on my part).

OK thanks. I tried that, went ahead and put latest host in the radio (UCM was already latest) and still same issue. Re-verified UCM in another radio, works fine. Even tried upgrading it's version again but it refused saying it was already at the version I tried to put in.

So latest versions in both radio and UCM now, and they still don't talk. I guess the vocon board must be bad? That's a shame, the radio works fine otherwise.
