Making and receiving calls
160 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual
ANY address syntax
If you want to send an ALE call to any station that is tuned to the same frequency in an
ALE/CALM network or scanning the network, and receive a response, make a call
through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types using
the ANY address syntax (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call,
page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). 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 initiating station can use these
responses to gather information on the status of the stations using the network. The
initiating 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.
The global ANY address syntax is @@?. All stations detecting the call will send a
response to the initiating 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 network
will send a response, then enter a link with the initiating 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 called address is dependent on the length of the self address
used for the call.
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.
NOTE
When you use an ANY address syntax through the Selective call type, the
call icon will change to the ANY call icon ( ) when the call is started.
If the length of your self address is... The length of the called address can be...
1–3 characters 1–9 characters
4–6 characters 1–3 characters
