The NET List About NETs A NET is a special ALE addressing capability. With NET addressing, two or more stations are pre-configured to respond to the same NET address. When a station calls a NET, all stations with that NET address and their self addresses in the Member Address setting for the NET respond in their designated response slot. In the NGT transceiver, a NET contains the configuration information required for making and receiving NET calls.

The NET List Settings in the NET List NOTE In the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the NET List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level). Name The NET name may be any meaningful name that you want to assign to the NET. The name may be up to 20 alphanumeric characters including spaces. The NET name is only used for reference within the transceiver. It is not part of the NET configuration data.
The NET List Outgoing Calls The Outgoing Calls setting enables you to set up your station to make calls to the NET, or disable calling to the NET. Unless you need to restrict calling to the NET, you should set the Outgoing Calls setting to Enabled for all stations in the NET, regardless of their member status. If you want to set up your NET so that only one station makes calls to the NET, set the Outgoing Calls setting for the NET in that station to Enabled.
The NET List If it is important that you know with which member stations you have linked, then you must set the Link setting to Only if response. The initiating station will make the call to the NET using the best channel, on average, for all NET members. If there is no response to this channel, the initiating station will select the next ranked channel and attempt the call again, and so on until at least one response is received.
The NET List LQA Exchange CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations. The LQA Exchange setting determines whether or not the exchange of LQA information occurs during calls within the NET. If this setting is enabled, the transceiver adds an appropriate amount of time to the slot widths so that LQA information can be exchanged. Slot Width CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.

The Phone Link List About phone links A phone link is a connection to a station with a telephone interconnect unit that can route Phone calls from transceivers to the public telephone network. The addresses of the phone link stations you use, and the networks and channel/modes you use to make Phone calls, can be stored in the Phone Link List. If you want to be prompted for some of these details when you make a Phone call you can leave the relevant settings in the Phone Link List blank.
The Phone Link List Programming the Phone Link List In the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the Phone Link List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level). NOTE Creating a phone link To create a phone link: 1 1 1 Press 1 Enter the setting information provided in the following table as required, then press to enter the information. until Main Menu is displayed. Scroll to Phone Link, then press .
The Phone Link List For example, if the phone link you renamed is used in an entry in the Address List, go to this entry, find the reference to the old phone link, then change it so that the new name is displayed (for help see page 155, Editing an entry in the Address List). If you do not update the reference to the phone link, the transceiver will prompt you to select a phone link each time you use the entry to make a call. Renaming a phone link is a standard list function.

The Address List About the Address List The Address List is like any personal address book: it is a place to store the names and addresses of stations you often call. When you have entered the details of a station, calling the station becomes as simple as going to the entry for it, then pressing CALL. If you want to be prompted to enter particular details at the time you make a call (for example, type a message or select a channel) you can leave the relevant settings blank.
The Address List Settings in the Address List CallType–Address The call type is the type of call that you want to make to the station that you want to call. For example, if you want to know where a mobile station is located, you send a Get Position call to the station. The Address setting is the address of the station that you want to call. If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types.
The Address List If you enter the ALE address syntax... The transceiver will send...
The Address List Network The Network setting in an Address List entry identifies the network through which the call is made to the station that you want to call. Channel/Mode The Channel/Mode setting in an Address List entry identifies the channel and mode that are used to make the call to the address given in the entry.
The Address List Setting up the emergency key When you press the transceiver begins a call to the station specified in the Emergency 1 entry in the Address List. You can configure this entry to make any type of call available to you. Emergency calls will trigger an emergency alert tone at the receiving station. When AMD messaging is used in ALE calls, an emergency alert tone is triggered by #HELP, #SOS, #MAYDAY, #PANPAN, and #EMERGENCY text.
The Address List Calling several stations simultaneously If you want to call several stations simultaneously, set up the Emergency 1 entry in the Address List to make a call. In an ALE/CALM network, calls to a group of stations can be made using ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed. You can also send a message as part of the ALE call.
The Address List Making several different types of calls NOTE This capability is available for use in Codan Selcall networks, enabling you to make different types of calls, or even the same call type on several channels. In ALE/CALM networks, the channel selection is typically done automatically, so it is not necessary to set up the Emergency entries in the Address List to make chain calls.
The Address List To set up the 1 key to call several stations in succession: Decide on the stations you want to call in an emergency, the type of call you want to make to each station, and the order in which you want to make the calls. NOTE If you want to use a special ALE address syntax, you should set up the Emergency entries to make calls that create an implicit link, or link immediately first, for example, an ALL call.

Making and receiving calls Calls you can make and receive Special ALE address syntaxes There are five types of special address syntax available for use in ALE/CALM networks with a 2110 SSB Transceiver: • ALL address syntax (FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option or MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option) • ANY address syntax (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option) • Group Selective address syntax (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option) • NET address syntax (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option) • Wildcard address syntax (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE opti
Making and receiving calls ALL address syntax NOTE The ALL address syntax may be used if the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option or MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver. NOTE You cannot use the ALL address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type. NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.
Making and receiving calls ANY address syntax NOTE The ANY address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver. NOTE You cannot use the ANY address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type. NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address. CAUTION If a station detects an ANY call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.
Making and receiving calls Group Selective address syntax NOTE The Group Selective address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver. NOTE You cannot use the Group Selective address syntax in the Get Position or Get Status call type. NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address. CAUTION If a station detects a Group Selective call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.
Making and receiving calls NET address syntax NOTE The NET address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver. NOTE You cannot use the NET address syntax in the Get Position or Get Status call type. NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.
Making and receiving calls Wildcard address syntax NOTE The Wildcard address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver. NOTE You cannot use the Wildcard address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type. NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address. CAUTION If a station detects a Wildcard call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.
Making and receiving calls Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes The following summarises the special ALE address syntaxes for the MIL-STD-188141B ALE option.

Making and receiving calls Table 18: Call types and icons Call type Icon Channel Test Emergency Get Position Get Status Message Phone Selective Send Position Each type of call is described below. Channel Test call If you want to test the suitability of a channel/mode before you use it to transmit voice or data, make a Channel Test call.
Making and receiving calls In a Codan Selcall network, a Channel Test call sends a request to the station you want to call on the channel/mode you have selected. The receiving station automatically returns an audible test signal. The volume and clarity of this signal indicates the quality of the channel/mode.
Making and receiving calls Get Status call NOTE You cannot use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax with a Get Status call. NOTE The success of your Get Status call will depend upon the setting in the Cfg Respond OTA entry in the Control List of the transceiver you are polling and the Privacy Mode of the network you are using for the call (see page 204, Cfg Respond OTA).
Making and receiving calls Phone call If you want to call a telephone number from the transceiver, make a Phone call. Before you make a Phone call you need to know the address of a telecommunication station through which your call can be routed to the public telephone network. If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of telecommunication stations using an ALE/CALM network.
Making and receiving calls Send Position call If you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position call. You can only make Send Position calls if the GPS option has been installed in your transceiver. If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Send Position call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.
Making and receiving calls Special AMD messaging features NOTE Special AMD messaging is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed. For interoperability with other transceivers, the 2110 SSB Transceiver recognises special AMD messaging syntax included at the beginning of an AMD message sent on a network with a Privacy Mode of Plain. The transceiver will accept and process the syntax shown in Table 19. You can also manually enter any of this text into an AMD message.
Making and receiving calls Recognised variable expansion The variables listed in Table 20 may be added in a Message call or an AMD message sent with a call. These variables are recognised by the 2110 SSB Transceiver’s firmware. The firmware expands the variable by inserting the current information associated with the variable in the message.
Making and receiving calls Making a call Listen Before Transmit Mode NOTE If you change the setting in the Cfg LBT Mode entry in the Control List you must switch the transceiver off then on again for the change to take effect. The 2110 SSB Transceiver is capable of listening to a channel before initiating a call on the channel. If the Cfg LBT Mode in the Control List is enabled, the transceiver will detect whether or not there is traffic on the selected channel, that is, the channel is occupied.
Making and receiving calls Testing the quality of a channel in a Codan Selcall network If you want to test the quality of a particular channel/mode in a Codan Selcall network before you use it to transmit voice or data, you can do so in two ways.
Making and receiving calls Replacing LQA information for all channels in an ALE/CALM network NOTE You can make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed. If your station operates in a rapidly changing environment, for example, interactions with mobile stations, you may want to replace the network-specific LQA information in the transceiver’s database just prior to making a call in the network.
Making and receiving calls Replacing LQA information as part of a call in an ALE/CALM network To replace LQA information as part of a call: 1 1 Press SCAN to stop scanning. Start the call using your preferred method. For example, go to the Address List then select the entry for the station you want to call. 1 When the transceiver prompts you to select a channel/mode, select , then hold CALL. 1 1 1 View the LQA screen for the best channel/mode to use. 1 Press CALL to continue the call.
Making and receiving calls Making a manual sounding operation in an ALE/CALM network NOTE Manual sounding is available if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed. If you need to perform a manual sounding operation using the handset, you make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network using the text SOUNDING as the address.
Making and receiving calls Selecting the best channel in an ALE/CALM network NOTE You must have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed. In order to select the best channel based on LQA information stored in the transceiver, you need to provide the context of the best channel, that is, the address that you want to call and the network in which you want to make the call. To select the best channel: 1 1 1 1 1 1 Press SCAN to switch off scanning. Press CALL.
Making and receiving calls Other ways to make calls Making a new call Making a new call is as simple as pressing CALL, typing the address of the station you want to call, then following the prompts. You can make a new call at any time. Returning a call The details of the calls you receive are stored in the Calls In Log. Up to 20 calls can be stored at a time and you can return any of these calls directly from this log.
Making and receiving calls Making a voice call The simplest type of call is a voice call. To make a voice call you: • select a channel and mode • press PTT to tune the antenna • wait until the channel is clear of voice and data traffic • hold down PTT and begin speaking Your call can be heard by any station tuned to or scanning this channel with their Mute Scan entry switched off, set to Scan for Voice, or set to Voice.
Making and receiving calls Calling methods CAUTION Depending on the configuration of a NET, a NET call may take several minutes to establish a link. NOTE While a call is being established, the transceiver will show that calling activity is in progress by flashing the CALL icon in place of the scan indicator. To make any type of call to a specific station: 1 Decide on the method you want to use to make the call, then use the information in the following table to start the call.

Making and receiving calls Receiving a call There are two ways you can receive a call. You can listen to a channel and respond when you hear a voice, or you can wait until an alert tone notifies you of a call addressed to your station. This section covers receiving calls addressed to your station. When you receive a call addressed to your station, the transceiver sounds an audible alert tone, displays an incoming call screen, if permitted, and creates an entry in the Calls In Log.
Making and receiving calls The incoming call screen The incoming call screen displays: • the type of call being received • the address of the station making the call • the date and time at which the call was received • the message, GPS position or status information, if sent • the call count number NOTE If you want to switch off the audible alert tone when a message is received, set the Cfg Alert Tones entry in the Control List to Disabled (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level
Making and receiving calls Figure 36: An incoming call screen for a NET call address of caller name of NET call type ALE selective message call count number If you receive one or more calls while the transceiver is unattended, the incoming call screen displays the details of the most recent call.

Hot keys About hot keys If you want to automate some of the tasks you perform with the transceiver you can create hot keys on the front panel to perform the tasks for you. For example, if you frequently call a particular station using an entry in the Address List you can create a hot key to select the Address List from the Main Menu, search for the entry, then make the call. Performing these tasks is then as simple as pressing the hot key.
Hot keys Assigning several macros to one key Several macros can be assigned to one key. When you use a hot key to which several macros have been assigned, the list of macros is displayed so you can select the one you want, as shown in Figure 46. Figure 46: Using a hot key to which several macros have been assigned The order in which the macros are listed can be changed. When you assign a macro to a key you are prompted to select the position in the list in which you want to insert the new macro.
Hot keys Storing macros Macros are physically stored in the Keypad List. The Keypad List contains an entry for each key on the front panel. When a macro is assigned to a key it is stored in the Macro setting for the key. If you do not want to assign a macro to a key (because, for example, you have no immediate use for it and do not want to delete it) you can assign or move it to the Unassigned entry in the Keypad List for future use. You can do this by pressing when prompted to assign a macro to a key.
Hot keys Creating a macro and assigning it to a hot key To create a macro and assign it to a hot key: 1 1 Decide on the task you want the hot key to perform. Navigate to the list, entry or setting in which the task begins. For example, if the task is to open a list at a particular entry, navigate to that entry. If the task is to enter a particular value in a setting, navigate to the setting and enter the value. 1 1 1 Hold to open the List Manager. Scroll to Macros..., then press .
