ANY call
NOTE: This address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE
option is installed.
CAUTION: If a station detects an ANY call to its matching self address, it sends a
response over the air.
An ANY call may be made to all stations that are tuned to or scanning the same
frequency in an ALE/CALM HF network. The ANY address syntax may be used with
the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, or Send Position call type.
The ANY call does not specifically call any stations, but it does request an automatic
response from stations that detect the call. These responses are returned in any slot
position (collisions may occur). The operator at the calling station can use these
responses to gather information on the status of the stations using the HF network. The
calling station then completes the link establishment with an acknowledgement sent
to all stations from which it received a response. Stations can be configured to respond
to or to ignore ANY calls.
NOTE: When you use an ANY address syntax through the Selective call type,
the call icon changes to the ANY call icon ( ) when the call is started.
The global ANY address syntax is @@?. All stations detecting the call send a
response to the calling station. The group of stations detecting the call can be
narrowed by using a selective ANY address syntax. In this address, the ? is replaced
by an upper-case letter or number, for example, @@A. All stations detecting the call
that have this letter or number as the last character in their self address for the
ALE/CALM HF network send a response, then enter a link with the calling station
when the acknowledgement is received.
You can send multiple ANY addresses together to make a call to a range of stations,
for example, @@A,@@B.
The allowable length of the address at the called station is dependent on the length of
the self address used for the call by the calling station.
