Making and receiving calls
190 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
NET address syntax
If you want to send an ALE call from one station to other stations that are members of
the NET or have the NET programmed, make a NET call using the NET address through
the Emergency, Message, NET, Phone, Selective, or Send Position call type.
These stations have a common NET address. The member stations send an automatic
response to the initiating station in a pre-determined response slot. The initiating station
then completes the link establishment with all member stations. If a member station is set
up to not respond during its allocated response slot, it still enters the link.
The NET address syntax can be any combination of upper-case letters and numbers up to
15 characters however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the address be
limited to 3 characters. To make a call using a NET, the NET must be programmed in the
transceiver and configured correctly (see page 162, Programming the NET List).
NOTE
The NET address syntax may be used if the 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 a NET address syntax through the Selective call type, the
call icon changes to the NET call icon ( ) when the call is started.
