NET address syntax
If you want to send an ALE call from one station to other stations that are members of
the NET or have the NET programmed, make a NET call using the NET address through
the Emergency, Message, NET, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types (see
page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169,
Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). These stations have a common NET
address. The member stations send an automatic response to the initiating station in a
pre-determined response slot. The initiating station then completes the link establishment
with all member stations. If a member station is set up to not respond during its allocated
response slot, it will still enter the link.
The NET address syntax can be any combination of upper-case letters and numbers up to
15 characters however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the address be
limited to 3 characters. To make a call using a NET, the NET must be programmed in the
transceiver and configured correctly (see page 138, Programming the NET List).
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.
NOTE
When you use a NET address syntax through the Selective call type, the
call icon will change to the NET call icon ( ) when the call is started.
