Making and receiving calls
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 187
ALL address syntax
If you want to send an ALE call to all stations that are tuned to the same frequency in an
ALE/CALM network or scanning the network, make a call through the Emergency,
Message, Phone, Selective, or Send Position call type using the global ALL address
syntax.
The ALL call does not specifically call any stations, and does not request any automatic
responses from stations that enter the link. Stations can be configured to accept or to
ignore ALL calls.
The global ALL address syntax is @?@. All stations detecting the call enter an ALE
link with the initiating station, if enabled to do so. The group of linking stations can be
narrowed by using a selective ALL address syntax (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option,
2110 only). In this address, the ? is replaced by an upper-case letter or number, for
example, @A@. All stations detecting the call that have this letter or number as the last
character in their self address for the ALE/CALM network enter the link.
If you send a selective ALL call to a group of stations, you can send another selective
ALL call to bring more stations into the link. For example, if you initially call @A@, all
stations tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or scanning the network
with an A as the last character of their self address enter the link. If you follow this with
a call to @B@, then a further group of stations with B as the last character of their self
address also enter the link. If the receiving stations are already in a link, this link is
closed and a new link created with the new call.
Alternatively, you can send multiple ALL addresses together to make a call to a range of
stations, for example, @A@,@B@.
NOTE
The global ALL address syntax may be used if the FED-STD-1045
ALE/CALM option or MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed
(2110 only).
NOTE
For information on entering text in a call address see page 77, Entering
text in an ALE call address.
NOTE For information on these call types see page 193, Call types.
NOTE
When you use an ALL address syntax through the Selective call type, the
call icon changes to the ALL call icon ( ) when the call is started.
