alecall command
Use the alecall command to select the best channel on which to establish a link to
addressed stations, then make a call on that channel.
To disconnect the link, either:
•use the scan on command to close the link and resume scanning (see page 433,
scan command), or
•use the hangup command to terminate the link (see page 425, hangup command)
Syntax
alecall <address of called station>[@<network>] ["<amd>"]
[from|tis|twas <self address>[@<network>]]
where:
<address of called station>[@<network>] is the address [and network] of
the station you want to call.
<amd> is the written text message that is to be sent to the station. Use single or double
quotes, or backslashes to recognise spaces in the message text.
from <self address>[@<network>] is the self address [and network] you want
to use for this call.
tis <self address>[@<network>] is the keyword that requests a link with the
called station, using the self address [and network] provided for your station.
twas <self address>[@<network>] is the keyword that does not request a link
with the called station, using the self address [and network] provided for your station.
You can use the global ALL address syntax (@?@) with the alecall command. If you
have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group
Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax with the alecall command (see page 406,
Addresses in commands).
