Mobility Synchronization Key

When a console site goes in service, it reports up the MSK for each Operator (OP). The Zone Controller (ZC) compares this with its stored value and if it matches, the ZC and console OP are considered in sync with their mobility and the OP doesn't need to affiliate anything that was previously affiliated. A new MSK is generated each time an OP affiliates. There are two MSKs, one for the console’s trunking affiliations and one for the console's conventional affiliations.
