Operating the transceiver from a computer
252 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual
About CICS
CICS is a set of commands that the transceiver understands. The commands are suitable
for use from a computer. You can operate your transceiver with CICS instead of the front
panel. To use CICS you must connect your transceiver to a PC or personal organiser via
the RS232 serial port (see page 258, Setting up CICS).
2110 SSB Transceivers operate with CICS V3.20 (or later).
CICS V3.20 includes the amd, alebeacon, beacon, lbt, link, lqa and sound
commands, which enable the 2110 SSB Transceiver to operate with a third party
messaging protocol, provide AMD messaging, LBT, and beacon capabilities through
CICS (if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed). The amd command enables
you to send messages within an established ALE link. The LBT range of commands
enables you to start the LBT process and override the global Cfg LBT Mode setting in
the Control List of the transceiver during specific calls. The alebeacon command
enables you to start a processes that gathers LQA information within the ALE/CALM
network applicable to the addresses provided with the call.
Using CICS
Entering commands
When you enter CICS commands you can enter up to 255 characters. Commands are
processed when they are ended with an ASCII carriage return character. ASCII line feed
characters are ignored. When echoing is on, a received carriage return character is
echoed as the ASCII carriage return/line feed sequence (see page 266, echo command).
Structuring commands
Commands can include variables that are user-defined, for example, gpsbeacon
<destination>[@<network>], where destination is the address of the station that
you want to call. Each command and variable is separated by a space character. Variables
inside single or double quotes are treated as a single variable. Space characters inside
quoted text are treated as part of the text. Any user-defined variables that include a space
character, such as a channel or network name, must have double quotes enclosing the
variable.
If you are using multiple ALL, ANY or Wildcard address syntaxes, or Group Selective
addresses with a CICS command, you must enter the addresses within quotes, for
example, alecall ‘TOM,DICK,HARRY@PRIMEAST’.
