call command
Use the call command to establish a voice link with another station on the current
channel in an ALE/CALM or a Codan Selcall network.
Syntax
call <address of called station>[@<network>] ["<amd>"] [from
<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.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the call 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 call command (see page 406, Addresses in
commands).
NOTE
For more information on:
• address syntaxes see page 406, Addresses in commands
• call options see page 407, ALE call options
• recognised variables see page 408, Recognised variable expansion
NOTE
You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A to Z,
0 to 9, @ and ?) for the address.
