2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 171
Special AMD messaging features
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. The syntax shown must be followed by a space, then the required information.
NOTE
Special AMD messaging is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE
option is installed.
Table 19: Special AMD messaging syntax
Syntax Processed as...
#CMD A query call. The command is forwarded to the CICS port or
internal engineering terminal, then the status is returned.

alert tone.
#GPS A Send Position call. The GPS position data is received
followed by position information.
#GPS? A Get Position call. The GPS position data is received followed

hung up the call.
NOTE
When you send an Emergency call using a Plain network from 2110 SSB
Transceivers, the #HELP text appears in the AMD message of a receiving
vendor transceiver.
