A lighting apparatus for use with a microphone and a sound mixing system wherein each microphone has an associated channel located in the sound mixing system. Each microphone has a lighting means that assigns a particular color to that particular microphone and each channel has the same color associated with it as the color identifying the microphone. The color coding of the microphone and the channel allow for both to be visually identified. The apparatus has an audio connector for connecting the lighting apparatus to the microphone; a light source connected to the audio connector; a holder means for holding the light source; a power conductor for providing a pathway for power to the apparatus; and a strain relief connector for preventing the power conductor from being strained when the microphone is in use. The apparatus allows the microphone to be identified visually by the color it emits.

The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of: comparing said cipher mode indication received at said mobile station with a previously stored mode indication to form a match indication if the received and previously stored indications are the same or to form a no-match indication if the received and previously stored indications are not the same. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of: indicating at said mobile station an error status in the event of said no-match indication being formed. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of: transmitting from said mobile station an error indication to said first network station in the event of said no-match indication being formed. 7. In a mobile telephone network for providing service to a plurality of mobile stations in communication with a plurality of network stations, a method comprising the steps of: determining at a first network station the identity and approximate geographic location of a mobile station; using said mobile station identity to determine the identity of a second network station from which a cipher variable may be obtained; obtaining said cipher variable from said second network station; forming at said first network station a cipher mode indication in dependence on the location of said mobile station, said cipher mode indication indicating which algorithm of a plurality of algorithms is to be used; transmitting said cipher mode indication from said first network station to said mobile station; receiving said cipher mode indication at said mobile station and using it to select an algorithm from said plurality of algorithms; and using the selected algorithm for enciphering or deciphering traffic information signals transmitted between said first network station and said mobile station during a call. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of: comparing said cipher mode indication received at said mobile station with a previously stored mode indication to form a match indication if the received and previously stored indications are the same or to form a no-match indication if the received and previously stored indications are not the same. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of: indicating at said mobile station an error status in the event of said no-match indication being formed. 10. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of: transmitting from said mobile station an error indication to said first network station in the event of said no-match indication being formed. 11. In a mobile telephone network for providing service to a plurality of mobile stations in communication with a plurality of network stations, a method comprising the steps of: determining at a first network station the identity and approximate geographic location of a mobile station; using said mobile station identity to determine the identity of a second network station from which a cipher variable may be obtained; obtaining said cipher variable from said second network station; forming at said first network station a cipher mode indication in dependence on the location of said mobile station, said cipher mode indication indicating which algorithm of a plurality of algorithms is to be used; using said cipher mode indication at said first network station to select an algorithm from said plurality of algorithms; and using the selected algorithm and said cipher variable to encipher traffic information signals transmitted to said mobile station during a call. 12.
