Help!
We are starting to field the XTS-5000's and our KVL doesn't seem to be able to fill these things, or I'm a huge idiot and I can't figure out the process.
I've been told by somebody in the field that the KVL-3000 needs to be set to P25 mode instead of ASN but this KVL doesn't seem to have that option (Go to config and the "mode" menu doesn't exist)
Is this how you do it? Does my KVL need an upgrade?
If I try to load it like I would load an XTS-3000 it gives a Key load failed message.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
The KVL version is 3.52.11

theres a sticky on encryption in this forum. Read over it and if you have any more questions let us know. The sticky deals with the XTS3000, but it should all be pretty much the same.Vilerat wrote:Wow, it worked. What exactly is PID mode and why did it work?

ASN (Advanced SECURENET) mode is the standard mode of operation for the KVL 3000. This mode utilizes PID (Physical Identifier) key management. PID key management identifies a physical memory slot where a key is stored in a unit. All products that support PID key management will access the same encryption keys dependent on the physical store capability of the product.
ASTRO-25 mode is an optional mode of operation for the KVL 3000. If your keyloader does not have this capability it can purchased as a Flashport upgrade. This mode is required for P25 compliant systems. This mode provides CKR (Common Key Reference) key management. CKR key management stores key material in the secure device's key storage database, rather than storing the key in a physical memory slot. All secure products that support CKR's will access the same encryption keys independent of the physical storage capabilities of the product. CKR key management is used with ASTRO digital subscribers equipped with the Universal Crypto Module (UCM) that operate using CKR's. This mode is required for ASTRO-25 Conventional OTAR.
Hope this helps!
