statuscall command
Use the statuscall command to obtain information on the status of a transceiver or
attached equipment at another station. A status call is typically used to request
information about a remote transceiver.
When you request status information, you must specify the type of information you
require.
The receiving station automatically sends the status information requested. The receiving
station is required to respond to a status call within the timeout period (see page 444,
statustime command). If a response to a status call is not sent within the timeout period
an error message is displayed.
Syntax
statuscall <address of called station>[@<network>]
"<message>" [from <self address>[@<network>]]
where:
<address of called station>[@<network>] is the address of the station
[and network] from which you require status information.
<message> is the number that corresponds to the type of status information that you
request, that is, 0 for open diagnostics, 1 for Codan diagnostics, 2 for Codan
configuration, or an over-the-air command.
from <self address>[@<network>] is the self address [and network] you want
to use for this call.
NOTE
For a description of each type of status information see page 395, Get
Status calls.
NOTE
You cannot use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard
address syntax with a statuscall command due to collision of
responses.
NOTE
For more information on address syntaxes see page 406, Addresses in
commands.
NOTE
If the ALE Site Mgr entry in the Control List is set to Auto, Manual or
Restricted, additional types of Get Status calls are available:
• 3 for Broadcast Site
