alebeacon command
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the alebeacon
command to replace the LQA information for an ALE/CALM network. The command
sends a request to the addressed stations you want to call on a specific channel
(thischan), or all channels, in the selected network. The receiving stations
automatically respond with LQA information.
To replace LQA information for a specific channel, pause scanning, select the channel,
then make the beacon, including the call option thischan with the command. To test
all channels in an ALE/CALM network, perform the beacon while scanning is on.
Syntax
alebeacon <address of called station>[@<network>] [s] [from
<self address>[@<network>]]
where:
<address of called station>[@<network>] is the address [and network] of
the station that you want to call.
s makes the call in Silent Mode.
from <self address>[@<network>] is the self address [and network] that you
want to use for this call.
NOTE
To display the full response of LQA information use the
lqa output on command (see page 428, lqa command).
NOTE
You cannot use the ALL, ANY, or Wildcard address syntax in the
alebeacon command.
