Selecting ALE Station IDs
Unlike Selcall IDs which you can enter yourself into the transceivers Address
books, ALE network station IDs are pre-programmed into your transceiver. This is
usually performed by a network administrator prior to deployment using the Barrett
2000 Series Programming software via the RS-232 port on the Auxiliary socket
from a PC or Laptop
Note:- The same method is used to select the “To” and “From” ID, the “To” ID is
shown below:-
Either enter the station ID using the numeric keys (the number of the
station you wish to call, see “Station ID ranges” )
Or all the stations are in the address book, use the scroll keys to
find the station you want to call, then
press the key
Or if the station name is known press the key
At this point the operator can use the Scroll keys to find the name of the station to
be called, or, begin entering the first few letters of the name you want to call using
the alpha keypad then (example “FIELD” entered”):-
