• During the CRYPTR micro driver installation, the Microsoft Standard Compliant SD Host Controller
is possible to overwrite the EOM SD Host Controller Driver of the computer. As the result, the
CRYPTR micro may stop working after a Windows operating system update. If the problem occurs,
reinstall the CRYPTR micro driver by using the instructions in
Resolving SD Host Controller Driver
Considerations (CRYPTR Micro Failures) on page 79 .
• If the CRYPTR micro software upgrade fails during installation, the following message appears:
CRYPTRmicro software upgrade failed. Use the CRYPTRManagement application
at a later time to upgrade the device.
. Use the CRYPTRManagement application at a
later time to ensure that the CRYPTR micro image is upgraded to the current version. For more
information, see
Upgrading the CRYPTR micro Software Upgrade on page 70 .

NOTICE:
This section is applicable only for secure-capable MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console
software installations.
To encrypt outgoing audio from an MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console and decrypt incoming audio from
other consoles and subscriber radios, the MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console must have its talkgroups
associated with encryption keys.
The association of talkgroups, patches, and Multiselect (MSEL) with a secure key is configured in the
ASTRO
®
25 system Network Manager. Each key is assigned a Common Key Reference (CKR) that
helps identify the key. The Network Manager associates a talkgroup or a special call type with a CKR.
This information is downloaded from the Network Manager to the MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console.
The key material for performing actual encryption and decryption is stored locally on the MCC 7100 IP
Dispatch Console, either in the CRYPTR micro device or in the software key file. This key material is
also associated with a CKR, so that the appropriate key can be selected for a given talkgroup or a
special call type.
NOTICE: Windows 8 64-bit operating system that you can install on dispatch consoles outside
ASTRO
®
25 Radio Network Infrastructure (RNI), does not support hardware-based encryption
which is the CRYPTR micro device.
A CKR, keyset, Key ID, Algorithm ID, and key material are stored for each key. The crypto-
administrator for your organization defines these values. These values are defined as common for all
devices on an ASTRO
®
25 system that must communicate securely to one another. The crypto-
administrator initiates updates to the keys as needed using Over the Ethernet Keying (OTEK), key
loading the CRYPTR micro using a KVL, or distributing software key files.
NOTICE: CKR and keyset pairs must be unique. Duplicate CKR to keyset pairs is not allowed
by the tools and device, since the combination of CKR and keyset uniquely identifies how audio
is encrypted on a talkgroup.
On MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console, the secure keys are stored in one or more software key files on
the console or on the CRYPTR micro card. The two configurations are mutually exclusive. During
startup, MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console first checks for the presence of the CRYPTR micro hardware
storage device. If absent, the MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console checks for the presence of one or more
software key files. If neither one is present, the MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console cannot support secure
communication. In this case, the Console Dispatch Status application reports that it is configured for
hardware encryption mode, but the CRYPTR micro device is not present. To check the secure status
of an MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console, see
Console Dispatch Status (MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console)
on page 119 for details.
