Making and receiving calls
208 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Using multiple addresses for calls in an ALE/CALM network
When a call is made in an ALE/CALM network, LQA information is stored or updated
in the LQA database of the transceiver. If you make a call to a number of addresses using
automatic channel selection, you can use the syntax of the address to determine how the
LQA information is used, and also the outcome of the call.
If the self addresses of the called stations are separated by a colon, for example,
BOB:SAM or 1562:1569, the call is sent to the station on the channel that has the best
LQA data associated with it. If the attempt at the first address fails, then the call is sent to
the station on the channel with the next best LQA data, and so on.
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed (2110 only) and the self
addresses of the called stations are separated by a semi-colon, for example, SAM;JOHN
or 1569;1563, the call is sent to all stations simultaneously (as per a group call), but the
link is only established with the station that provided the best response.
The allowable length of the address for the called stations is dependent on the length of
the self address used by the initiating station for the call.
If the length of the self address of the
initiating station is...
The length of the address for the called
stations can be...
