M2259-00-200-812 Tait Orca Portable (TOP) Encryption 19Copyright TEL Encrypted Radio Programming and Service ManualFor direct programming, the module is programmed directly, using a TOPA-EA-008G cableconnected to the radio’s accessory connector.Note: Any TOP radio can be used for OTAR programming. However, if an encryptionmodule is fitted, it is important that the encryption function is turned off whenprogramming.Note: If a T2000 radio is used for OTAR programming, a T2000 Encryption Flex must befitted to the radio. A module is not required, however, if one is fitted, it is importantthat the encryption function is turned off when programming.Refer to the following publications for detailed programming instructions Transcrypt OTAR Programmer Manual Transcrypt Module Manual Transcrypt Programming section (page 69) of this manual4.2.1 Midian Module ProgrammingThe Midian VPU-12 module is preprogrammed by the manufacturer and does not normallyrequire programming. Its programmable functions can be programmed by open-radio directprogramming. It does not support OTAR programming. The Midian TVS2 module supportsOTAR programming of encryption codes only. However, the TVS2 supports direct programmingof all programmable functions.Refer to the following manuals for detailed programming instructions Midian Programming instructions Midian Module Manual Midian Programming section (page 79) of this manualImportant Additional Information Once encryption is enabled, set the function buttons to: turn encryption ON and OFF access Code Change mode (optional) set the number of user-accessible codes (optional) Economy mode is the factory default, but is not recommended withencryption-enabled radios as it will cause loss of sync pulses. This may resultin failure to decode some encrypted calls after a period of inactivity. If the flex version is -06 (or earlier), to enable the radio to operate as astandard, unencrypted radio when a module is not fitted, solder-short linksLink-6 and Link-7 on the flex. This modification will loop the audio back tothe normal radio path. See the PCB layout section on page 21 of this manualto locate the links. If radios have no display, ensure no other function (eg incoming selcall orrepeater talkaround) is programmed to utilise the orange LED, or it will be toodifficult to determine encryption status.4.3 Programming the Encryption ModuleNote: When using a TOP radio as a programming transmitter, if an encryption module isfitted, ensure the encryption function is turned off.
