Secure Communication (Encryption)
7.2.2
PID / SLN Key Management Modes
The channels, talkgroups, and other calls that use encryption are linked to a specific 
Physical ID (PID) when the radio is programmed. For example, Zone 1, channel 1 could 
be programmed to select the key in PID 1 and Zone 1, channel 2 could select the key in 
PID 3. The PID ranges are 0-125 when the PID mode is selected, and 1-126 when the SLN 
mode is selected (see Figure 7.1).
Figure 7.1
Key Selection Example
PID or SLN key management modes can be programmed on the Global programming 
screen. More information on these modes follows.
PID Mode - When this mode is selected, keys are loaded directly into a PID of 0-125 
that corresponds to the PID programmed for each channel (if applicable). Since the 
EFJohnson Technologies System Management Assistant (SMA) does not support PID 
mode: PID mode can be used only when keys are loaded using the Motorola KVL-3000 
or KVL-3000 Plus keyloader.
SLN Mode - The SLN mode must be selected if either Over-The-Air-Rekeying 
(OTAR) or the EFJohnson Technologies System Management Assistant (PDA 
keyloader) is used. It can also be used if OTAR is not used. SLN mode is digital 
encryption, and can also be used with the Motorola KVL-3000, KVL-3000 Plus, and 
KVL-4000. With this mode, keys are loaded into a SLN (Storage Location Number), 
typically from 0-4095. A Keys Table must then be programmed to link channel PIDs to 
a specific SLN.
The use of this type of indirect linking allows keysets and key IDs to be changed 
through OTAR while keeping the mapping from the channel or talkgroup the same. For 
example, as shown in Figure 7.1, PID 4 selects SLN 24 which selects key slot 24 in both 
keysets. This slot contains Key ID 69 in Keyset 1 and Key ID 91 in Keyset 2. Only one 
keyset is active at a time. The actual key chosen between these two to transmit with will 
depend on which keyset is active, Keyset 1 or Keyset2.
