numbers. Each octet must have odd parity (an odd number of 1s 
in the binary number).

For AES encryption, enter a key variable of the required length. 
There are no parity restrictions. For example, enter 32 octets for 
AES 256. 

Important

Once you have entered a key variable into the , 
you can no longer view it.

The  also lets you group keys into key groups for easier loading 
or zeroize keys you no longer want to use.

Connecting the  to the Target Device

1.

Connect the cable attached to the Tait adapter to the keyload port on 
the back of the . (This cable provides power from the 
 to the adapter.)

2.

Connect the other end of the adapter to the target device using the 
appropriate cabling.

For a TM9100 mobile, connect a TPA-SV-006 programming lead 
(9-pin to RJ12) to the programming (microphone) port.

For a TP9100 portable, you need the above programming lead and 
a TPA-SV-007 cable (RJ12 to TPA) as well.

For a P25 Console Gateway, connect an ordinary DB9 to DB9 
extension cable to the connector marked DIG at the rear of the 
gateway module.
