RT-9000 B
NOTE: The Network Number associated with the ALE Network setup
procedures in this section is strictly a local RT-9000 B reference
number. This “Network Number” has no meaning in the ALE
Network environment or to other ALE Network Stations.
When the above information initially appears in the Operational Display, the blinking cursor will be
positioned in “Network Number” portion of the above displayed information. The User should now
rotate the ‘TUNING’ knob until the desired “Network Number” appears. Using the cursor right arrow
(→), the user now should move the cursor to the first character position of the “Network Name”
portion of the above displayed information.
If there is information other than dashes
(-- --) in the Network Name positions or the user is changing
an established Network Name, depress the 'CLEAR' feature select key at 10 to clear the positions
and ease new name entry.
The first character position, or dash (
--) will flash to indicate the specific position where a user
selected character is to be entered. If the first character is satisfactory as is, depressing the right
arrow (—>) key at 11 will move the flashing cursor one position to the right. Alternately, depressing
the left arrow (<—) key at 12 will move the cursor one position to the left.
As each character position is selected, characters '0' through '9' and 'A' through 'Z' may be selected
by rotating the 'TUNING' knob at 6 either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Once the desired
character appears in view, depress the right arrow key (—>) at 11 . The flashing cursor will move to
the next character position. This character selection process is repeated until the desired NET ID
“Network Name” has been formed.
Once all characters for the “Network Name” have been selected, depress the Enter (‘ENTR’) key at
13 to enter the selected ‘NET ID’ information (“Network Number” and “Network Name”) into the RT-
9000 B ’s memory. Depress the ‘END’ key at 14 to exit the Network ID entry process and return to
the Feature Menu shown in Figure 7.3.4.6.
Depressing the ‘END’ key at 14 without
first depressing the Enter (‘ENTR’) key at 13 will also
cause the Feature Menu to revert to that shown in Figure 7.3.4.6 except any changes made during
this process will NOT be entered into the RT-9000 B ’s memory.
The Network selected and entered using the Enter (‘ENTR’) key at 13 becomes the active ALE
Network for all RT-9000 B ALE operations that requiring Network selection. This Network is referred
to as the Current Network and is primarily associated with ALE Transmit functions. This selection
remains in force until changed and will be retained both, after leaving ALE modes and, during
power-off periods. The User may now proceed to paragraph 7.3.4.2.2.2 Entering (SELF ID) Time
Slot Position.
If the user is only changing the Current Network to a different Network for use in ALE operating
mode, perform following actions. Navigate to the ‘ALE-ID’ Select Feature Menu and depress the
‘NET ID’ key as described earlier in this section. Rotate the ‘TUNING’ knob and stop when the
desired Network Name and Number appears in the Operational Display. Depress the Enter (‘ENTR’)
key at 13 , then the ‘END’ key at 14 . The newly selected Network is now the Current Network and
will remain so, as previously described. These steps will cause the Feature Menu to revert to the
display shown in Figure 7.3.4.6.
Depress the ‘END’ key at 22 to return to the display shown in Figure 7.3.4.5. The user may now
enter ALE operating mode using the new Current Network.
