NETS
ENTRIES FOR A NET

NVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL
Link
CAUTION: The method of linking must be the same for all members of the NET.
The Link entry determines how the calling station links with the called stations.
It can link:
• only if it receives a response from a member station
• even if it doesn’t receive a response from a member station
• immediately
Stations with the NET programmed only send a response to a NET call if:
• their self address is included in the NET Members entry for the NET, that is,
they are a member of the NET, and
• the Response entry for the station is set to Send
You can set the following:
• If you want to know with which member stations you have linked, select Only
if response.
The calling station makes the call to the NET using the best average channel for
all NET members. If there is no response to this channel, the calling station
selects the next ranked channel and attempts the call again, and so on until at
least one response is received. Any member station detecting the call responds,
if they are enabled to do so, then the calling station completes the link.
Non-member stations with this NET programmed also enter the link, but as they
are not members, they do not send a response.
NOTE: If you set the Link entry to Only if response, you must be sure
that there is at least one member station in your NET that is set
to respond to a link request. If the calling station does not receive
a response to the call after trying all channels for the NET, it
terminates the link establishment process.
• If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed, but
you do not need to know which of the member stations enter the link, select
Even if no response.
The calling station makes the call to the NET using the best average channel for
all NET members. All stations detecting the call enter the link, if enabled to do
so.
• If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed without
the delay of the link establishment process, select Immediately.
In this case, the calling station establishes an implicit link with any stations
programmed with the NET that detected the call. There is no 3-way handshake.
