Services and Features | 27 Figure 2: Trunked Mode Operation Direct Mode Operation Direct Mode Operation is a mode of simplex operation where radios communicate directly. Figure 3: Direct Mode Operation Group Call The group call service enables the radio to communicate with a group of other TETRA radios using point to multi- point operation.
28 | Services and Features Programmable Talkgroups The radio offers a talkgroup list facility. Each talkgroup entry contains a TETRA group address and may be associated with a name tag. The talkgroups can be defined in the codeplug as per the radio capabilities. Talkgroups are configured separately for TMO and DMO modes.
Services and Features | 29 Talkgroup Selection Talkgroup selection from the stored list of talkgroups in the favorite folder is performed by rotating the rotary knob to the corresponding position of the talkgroup in the favorite list. The radio does not allow dialing a group SSI, nor select a talkgroup from outside the favorite talkgroups list. Favorite Folders If the Folder Selection is enabled in the codeplug, you can access up to 100 favorite talkgroups programmed in the list using dedicated RCU controls.
30 | Services and Features Note: Not all infrastructures support this feature. Consult with your service provider before enabling this feature. Timed Talkgroup Change This feature allows switching between the original and the predefined talkgroup (TMO or DMO) by using the O PTION button function.
Services and Features | 31 If the radio is not the transmitting party, an unannounced cell reselection is employed, followed by call restoration procedures. Temporary Group Address The radio supports the temporary group address assigned by the SwMI. The address is valid only for the lifetime of the call.
32 | Services and Features Note: It is possible to power up the radio by pressing the Emergency Button. Depending on the service provider settings the radio can start Emergency Operations automatically. If the radio was PIN-protected (except SIM PIN), Emergency Operations will bypass the PIN lock for the duration of the Emergency Operations.
Services and Features | 33 Emergency Hot Microphone The Hot Microphone allows you to talk without pressing the PTT button during Emergency Operations. The transmission continues for a provisioned amount of time. Pressing the PTT button before the Hot Microphone time expires ends the Hot Microphone operation.
34 | Services and Features • Class 2 — static key encryption (SCK). • Class 3 — derived key encryption (DCK, sometimes called the dynamic key), the Common Cipher Key (CCK), and the Group Cipher Key (GCK). TETRA DMO has two classes of encryption: Class 1 and Class 2. The security features supported in the radio depend on the security mode.
Services and Features | 35 Derived Cipher Key and Common Cipher Keys Encryption (Class 3) DCK/CCK are required to prevent over-exposure of key material. Existing encryption systems use Static Cipher Keys (SCK), where one key is used for all radios and all calls. Key material is often exposed and SCK logistics of changing keys consist in programming all radios and base stations.
36 | Services and Features Figure 5: Voice and Data End to End Encryption Data Services TETRA System Boundary Voice Codec End-to-End Encryption End-to-End Key Management Standard TETRA Air Interface Encryption Short Data Service Type 4 and Key Management The End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) feature resolves this issue by encrypting the voice information before it is packed into the PDU.
Services and Features | 37 Radio Permanent Disable Permanent disabling is intended to protect a network from attack from a compromised or faulty radio. It can be used when the radio has been compromised, or has been suspected of compromise for a long time. It is a one-way function and no equivalent enable is available.
38 | Services and Features Control Channel Selection Each TDMA frame on a given carrier is comprised of four time slots, of which any can be used as a physical channel. The following types of physical channels are available: • Traffic physical (TP) channel —...
Services and Features | 39 selection is required. Network selection to another network is only performed at initial cell selection following a link fail and then only if the home network is not available. The radio uses its own ISSI. The radio operates in all networks as it does in its home network.
40 | Services and Features For compatibility with systems that do not support type-1 or type-2 cell reselection, the radio can be provisioned to never perform these types of reselections. The radio decides on the need for cell reselection, based on comparison of the signal strength and the service level between the serving cell and neighbor cells.
Services and Features | 41 AIM, DAIM and Any Networks features are mutually exclusive. This is a selling feature. Dynamic Air Interface Migration The Dynamic Air Interface Migration feature offers users a quick and easy way to switch between networks. Depending on that setting, every time a radio is powered up or a talkgroup is changed, it automatically roams to the assigned network.
42 | Services and Features The feature is configurable using the CPS. Subscriber Class When the radio powers up, or whenever it performs registration or roaming, it always uses its provisioned Subscriber Class (SC). When the radio registers on a cell that does not support any of its SCs, it is active only in services that have the emergency priority.
Services and Features | 43 When the radio is operating on an LST cell, the radio may prevent you from invoking the following services (depends on infrastructure settings): • Private call • Phone call • PABX call • Packet data •...
44 | Services and Features • Call-related DGNA. • Functionality of the authorized user. • Network authentication before accepting DGNA. Ambience Listening The Ambience Listening (AL) feature allows a console operator or dispatcher to monitor audio activity in the vicinity of a specific radio without giving any indication to the affected radio.
Services and Features | 45 Mobility procedures that do not require the radio to send an uplink transmission are performed except for cell reselection. In transmit inhibit mode the radio joins group calls for any group that the radio is monitoring, but the transmitting on that call is still prohibited.
46 | Services and Features Your service provider can configure the radio to play a tone each time it connects to or disconnects from the repeater. Communication through Gateways Gateway provides connectivity between radios operating in DMO Mode and the TETRA network, so that the DMO radios can communicate with the TMO radios.
