Operating the transceiver from a computer
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 441
sound command
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the sound
command to:
• display the current status of ALE sounding operations, that is, on or off
• enable or disable ALE sounding operations
• initiate an ALE sounding operation
The sound command may be used regardless of the scanning state of the transceiver.
The sounding occurs in all ALE/CALM networks that have a valid self address and are
set to be scanned. ALE sounding operations do not occur if the transceiver is in a link
with another transceiver.
