MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE Supplement to Owner’s Guide

 

Using the New Station Address Filter 

To help you add new station addresses to the ALE directory of your radio set in a 
controlled manner, MICOM-2 has a special ALE address filter. To enable this filter, 
enable the Auto Address function on the 

PROG>ALE>OPT>AADR

 

menu (this 

function can also be enabled by means of the RSS). 
When enabled, the address filter compares the source address of each call received 
by your radio set with the addresses stored in the ALE directory. When the first new 
unlisted address is found, it is stored in a special memory stack, and you are notified 
that at least one unlisted address has been detected by adding the option 

RCV

 (F2) 

under 

PROG>ALE

, after the 

NET 

option. When you want to check the addresses 

stored in the stack, you select 

RCV

 (F2) and then decide whether to erase an address 

or add it to the ALE directory of your radio set.  
Up to 20 new addresses can be stored in this stack, which is organized as a FIFO 
stack: this means that when a new address, different from all the previously detected 
addresses, is received while 20 addresses are already stored, it will replace the oldest 
address.  
The information on the received addresses is automatically erased when the radio is 
turned off; only addresses added to the directory remain in the directory. 

➤ 

To edit the received addresses and add addresses to the ALE directory: 

1. Press 

MENU

 (F1) and select 

ALE

 (F2) 

2.  When addresses are stored in the new received 

addresses stack, you will see the 

RCV

 (F2) option. 

Press 

RCV

 (F2) to display the RCV screen.

3.  You will see RCV screen. The screen displays the 

last detected unlisted address. Use the 

UP/DOWN

 

arrows to display the desired address (the display is 
cyclical).

4.  When the desired address is displayed, press the key corresponding to the 

action to be performed: 

• 

To delete the address from the stack, press 

ERAS

 (F2). 

• 

To add the address to the directory, press 

ADD

 (F1). The address is 

removed from the stack 

5.  To confirm, press 

SAVE

 (F4). 

6.  Repeat the actions until all the desired addresses are 

processed. When done, press 

ESC

 to end. 

 

If the stack is now empty, the

 RCV

 (F2) option is no longer displayed on the ALE 

menu.
