The NET List
160 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
If it is important that you know with which member stations you have linked, then you
must set the Link setting to Only if response. The initiating station makes the call to
the NET using the best channel, on average, for all NET members. If there is no response
to this channel, the initiating station selects the next ranked channel and attempts the call
again, and so on until at least one response is received. Any member station detecting the
call responds, if they are enabled to do so, then the initiating station completes the link.
Non-member stations with this NET programmed also enter the link, but as they are not
members, they do not send a response. If you use this setting, you must be sure that there
are stations in your NET that are set to respond to a link request. If the initiating station
does not receive a response to the call after trying all channels for the NET, it terminates
the link establishment process.
If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed, but you do not
need to know which of the member stations enter the link, set the Link setting to Even if
no response. The initiating station makes the call to the NET using the best average
channel for all NET members. All stations detecting the call enter the link, if enabled to
do so.
If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed without the
delay of the link establishment process, set the Link setting to Immediately. In this
case, the initiating station establishes an implicit link with any stations programmed with
the NET that detected the call. There is no 3-way handshake.
Response
The Response setting sets whether or not receiving member stations respond to NET
calls during link establishment. Generally, you would set the Response setting to Send,
so that there is confirmation of the station entering the link. However, if for some reason
you do not want the receiving station to transmit on air, you would set the Response
setting to Don’t send. If a station is set to not respond, it still enters the link when it
receives the acknowledgement from the initiating station.
Tune Time
The Tune Time setting is the time that the members of the NET wait after the initiating
call before sending the automatic responses to the initiating station. This time should be
set to match the longest tuning time between all members in the NET.
CAUTION
If the Link setting is set to Only if response, you must ensure that at
least one member station is set to receive and respond to a call from the
NET.
NOTE
The Response setting is only applicable to NET calls. It does not affect a
station’s ability to respond to an ANY, Group Selective or Wildcard call
(see page 186, Calls you can make and receive).
CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.
