MDC OTAR Enable

(Secure Wide, MDC OTAR)

Enables the MDC signaling version of the OTAR (Over-The-Air-Rekeying) feature. This feature applies to secure encrypted mode for MDC OTAR communications.

When the OTAR Enable field is enabled, the CPS requires that either this field or the ASTRO OTAR Enable field must then be enabled, otherwise they both become invalid. This ensures that OTAR is possible from an MDC or ASTRO - Conventional channel.

MDC OTAR is enabled on a per Conventional Personality by way of the Non-ASTRO Signaling Type field. The radio is further configured to initiate OTAR commands by enabling that Personality's OTAR Tx field.

When the Secure Operation field is set to "Hardware" and

when the OTAR Enable field is enabled, and

when the radio is model / option capable.
