Secure Messaging Options
FLA870 is also available as a secure
messaging pager where encrypted incoming
messages are decrypted, so providing security
in transmission. Such messages can only be
read by entering daily passwords and PINs
into the receiver.
Multitone have produced two secure paging
products:1. Z-Page, which can be used for the
transmission of HMG traffic to ‘restricted’ level
using a CESG approved algorithm.
2. KeyPage which uses the Digital Encryption
Standard (DES) algorithm and is intended for
commercial use. KeyPage provides effective
protection from off-air message interception.
Secure pagers do not support Information
Services.

Z-Page: Activation and Protection
In order to decrypt and display encrypted
messages your secure pager needs to be
‘validated’ or loaded with its decryption key
before being put into service. Unvalidated
pagers can be used for normal paging only.
On the Z-Pager validation is performed using
a pager programming pocket (P669)
connected to the PC which is to be used to
send the encrypted messages.
Z-Pagers require that a password is entered
once each day. The password is generated by
the host PC at the time of validation. To
access encrypted messages an additional PIN
must be entered at the time of viewing.
Reading Z-Page Messages,
An unread Z-Page message is indicated on
the display by the
symbol as for normal
messages however pressing the > key will not
access the Z-Page message. To read the
message press the < button. If the pager is
19
9261-6366 iss 2
21/11/02
9:04 am
Page 24
being used for the first time that day then the
display will show two blocks of asterisks. The
first block of 6 asterisks is for the message
access password which must be entered
daily. The second group of 4 asterisks is for
the PIN entry. Use the < and > buttons to
select the first digit. Then press •> and the
second asterisk will flash. Use the < and >
buttons to select the second digit and enter
again by pressing •>. Select and enter the
remaining numbers in the same way. If the
password and PIN have been entered
correctly the pager will decrypt and display the
received messages. As subsequent messages
are received during the day, they can be read
by entering the PIN again.
Notes of Caution
On the Z-Pager only three attempts are
allowed at entering the correct password and
PIN. If they are entered incorrectly then the
receiver will immediately delete all security
20
9261-6366 iss 2
21/11/02
9:04 am
Page 25
features and messages. The Z-Pager cannot
then be used for secure messaging without
revalidation on the host PC. If the battery is
allowed to discharge fully then all security
feature programming will also be deleted and
the product will revert to non secure pager
operation.
KeyPage Operation
On the KeyPager a randomly generated
decryption key is already programmed during
production and the key material is loaded from
a diskette into the chosen message entry PC.
The encryption key diskettes should be
carefully stored by your KeyPage system
administrator. When KeyPage encrypted
messages are generated from within a
networked environment, the encryption keys
are stored in the network server.
21
9261-6366 iss 2
21/11/02
9:04 am
Page 26
KeyPage Message Access
The KeyPager has no daily password and
requires only a PIN to be entered in order to
read encrypted messages. An unread
encrypted message is indicated on the display
by the
symbol. To read the message
press the < button to reveal the PIN entry
screen and enter the number for each asterisk
in turn using the < , > and •> buttons.
Up to 4 attempts are allowed to enter the PIN
after which the pager will reset, deleting all
secure messages and further PIN entry is
barred for four hours. If PIN entry is attempted
the pager will display the
symbol. The
PIN entry lockout cannot be shortened by
removing the battery. NB: Secure messages
may be received in this period but may not be
read. No revalidation is required on the host
PC following false PIN entry nor is the secure
messaging facility lost when the cell is
discharged.

KeyPage PIN Changes
KeyPage offers the additional facility of being
able to enter ones own preferred PIN. To do
so press •> from the standby screen and use
< or > buttons to select
. From the sub
menu select the
symbol. The security
control screen is displayed containing four
asterisks. Enter the current PIN using the <
and > buttons and confirm each digit by
pressing the •> button. If the PIN is correctly
entered the pager will display four zeros for an
alternative new PIN. Use the < or > buttons to
step each digit to the required number and
confirm it by pressing •>. After confirming the
fourth digit the pager will display the new PIN
with an arrow,
symbol and flashing .
Press •> again and the arrow will flash to
confirm acceptance of the new PIN. The
pager will then revert to the standby screen.

9261-6366 iss 2

Page 28
KeyPage PIN Reset
If the KeyPager PIN has been forgotten it is
possible for the system to remotely reset the
PIN to that which was first programmed in the
factory. This requires that a special control
code be transmitted to the KeyPager to reset
the PIN. A method of verifying the user identity
must be agreed with the system administrator
who will supply an additional authorisation
code which must be entered to restore the
PIN.
KeyPage Barred Access
When the
symbol is displayed it is not
possible to change the PIN. If this is
attempted the pager will display
and the
symbol.
If the PIN has been incorrectly entered four
times it will not be possible to change the PIN
until the four hour lockout period has elapsed.
If this is attempted the pager will display the
and
symbols

Caring for your Pager
Protect your pager from strong magnetic
fields, liquids, extreme temperatures and long
periods of exposure to strong sunlight. Clean
the exterior of your pager using a clean, soft,
non-abrasive cloth. If necessary, dampen cloth
with water only. Avoid contact with solvents.
Fault Finding
If your pager appears to have a fault please
check the following:
•
•
•
•
Is the pager switched on?
Is the battery dead?
Is the battery fitted correctly?
Is the +ve sign on the battery aligned with
the moulded +ve sign in the battery
compartment?
If you have checked the above and are still
having problems please contact your Multitone
dealer.
