link A link is established following a 3-way
handshake process. Scanning is off and a
timeout, set using the Cfg In Call Timeout
entry in the Control List, will be active.
With ALL calls and NET calls that are set to
link immediately, the linking establishment
process is 1-way.
listen before
transmit
If enabled, the automatic process that the
transceiver uses to detect whether or not
there is traffic on a channel and, when
necessary, select another channel or inform
the user that the channel is busy.
LQA beacon A Channel Test call made in an
ALE/CALM network using a Group
Selective or NET address syntax. The LQA
beacon tests all channels within the network
to determine the best channel according to
local and remote BER and SINAD
measurements. On completion of the
beacon, the information collected replaces
the information for the channel stored in the
LQA database. It is sometimes referred to as
an ALE beacon.
macro A short set of instructions to automate a task
you perform with the transceiver. When a
macro is assigned to a key, the key becomes
a hot key.
manual sounding A Channel Test call made in an
ALE/CALM network using the text
SOUNDING as the call address. The station
performs a sounding operation, which other
stations use to update the information in
their LQA database.
Message call A call that enables you to send a message to
a specific station.
