XPR ÆS Encryption on XPR7550e

[dmason04]

Howdy, y'all,
I read that the XPR7550e has an ÆS encryption feature available for DMR. I know Basic and Enhanced Privacy are available through CPS but I was curious how to set up ÆS on the XPR. Most of my experience is with ASTRO/APX series radios and I know that keyloading has to be done with a KVL (with the exception of ADP and ÆS on the APX900). Is this the same case ÆS with the XPR7550e or can you set it up with CPS?

Not gonna happen. AES entitlement not available in the states.

When AES is present in an XPR, the key is loaded via CPS.

Denying AES in the NA region is just Moto protecting their bottom line and by extension, handholding.

It’s already loaded in every 7550 sold in America. And it takes 10 seconds to unlock without ever seeing the software we can not discuss. And the AES key is entered with CPS.

 

[GTR8000]

Cool.

Seems like you used to be able to purchase the entitlement legitimately before Moto got rid of it. HKVN4244 is the part number, google yields a few results.

Oh yea? So how do we unlock it?

Someone smarter than me figured out if they add a few files to regular CPS, that unlocks any features that are already in the radio. Way above my understanding though.

Do XPR's have a FLASHCode or something similar that lists all the features?

There is a flash code, but it never seems to change when features are added. When you read the radio, in radio info it shows all the features available to the radio. Some show that they came with the radio, some show as purchased, while others show that they are available for purchase.

XPRs do have a flashcode, however it is irrelevant to their feature list. The feature list can be seen on CPS when you read the radio, under device information; it will list options that are purchased, included(free), or available for purchase.

AFAIK reading the radio through CPS is the only way to get a comprehensive feature list of the radios.

Things have changed since the ASTRO series. I guess Moto wants more money these days...

It's always someone smarter than you..

I'm curious about that. Is it against forum rules for you to point me in the direction of some of that information? I assume it is but I could be wrong.

 

[Forts]

It is available, but I've no idea what hoops you have to jump thru to be able to get it. There are a few small/mid-sized police agencies in my area using it that are serviced by Bearcom.

I’m not a mod, so I don’t know. But there’s a wealth of information to be found on the “Austech” site.

... XPR7550e has an ÆS encryption feature ...

FYI, "ÆS" and "AES" are different things, including to the forum's search software.

Yes, some people know how to add it but it’s not something we discuss here.
