sound command
Use the sound command to:
display the current status of ALE sounding operations, that is, on or off
enable or disable ALE sounding operations
initiate an ALE sounding operation
The sound command may be used regardless of the scanning state of the transceiver. It
will occur in all ALE/CALM networks that have a valid self address and are set to be
scanned. ALE sounding operations will not occur if the transceiver is in a link with
another transceiver.
Syntax

self address and are set to be scanned.
from <self address>[@<network>] initiates an ALE sounding operation on
the specified self address in all ALE/CALM networks that are set to be scanned and for
which this self address is valid.
