NVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL
ALE Site Manager
The ALE Site Manager entry enables the transceiver to collect information on other
transceivers with which it communicates. The following information may be
gathered, depending on the value set for the ALE Site Manager:
• the ESN of the remote transceiver
• any other self addresses in the remote transceiver that are associated with
ALE/CALM HF networks
• the tuning time of the remote transceiver’s antenna
It requests this information up to three times when the ALE Site Manager entry is
set to Auto, and only Codan HF transceivers in which the FED-STD-1045
ALE/CALM option is installed can respond.
NOTE: If the ALE Silent Mode entry is set to Enabled, the transceiver will
not respond automatically to requests from other stations for site
information.
If you want the transceiver to:
• only accept site information that is broadcast by other stations, select Disabled
• accept, respond to, and automatically initiate requests for site information,
select Auto
• accept site information, respond to requests for site information, and allow
manually initiated Broadcast Site and Request Site Get Status calls to other
stations, select Manual
• accept site information and allow manually initiated Broadcast Site and Request
Site Get Status calls to other stations, but not respond to requests for site
information, select Restricted
Default value: Auto
The information collected:
• enables your transceiver to optimise calls to the other transceiver by adjusting
the time taken to wait for the antenna to tune
• enables you to set a longer sounding interval
NOTE: Regardless of the value set, your transceiver always updates the site
manager information that is broadcast from other stations.
Details of each value are provided in the table below.
