Changeover Command (encrypted)

Introduction/Additional information: 

This ASM implements the Project 25 OTAR Changeover Command message.

Usage Notes

  • This message is sent from the Key Management Facility to the Mobile Radio (MR) to support the change of the active keyset(s) at an MR or group of MR.
  • This message instructs a MR to start using an already held keyset. Thus, this message must be preceded by a successful Modify Key transaction.
  • This message is broadcast as a non-addressed message, to reduce the message size, and to avoid issues from a relocated RSI to a different MMSI.
  • The “Subsequent Changeover” field is optional and unlimited per Project 25. In order to limit message size to 5 slots, the count of instructions is limited to 35 per message.
