Setting the Net Options
Use this menu to configure net options. The following sections explain the purpose of the net options.
For detailed instructions, refer to Part II of this manual.
•
SOND
Sounding Parameters: define the interval (in minutes) at which automatic sounding is
performed (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes), or define sounding as a manual function. See
Sounding on page 34 for a detailed explanation on the sounding process.
•
SLNT
Silent Mode: select whether the net is in the silent mode, which means that members
in the net can initiate calls but not allowed to respond to an ALE transmission.
•
LQAR
LQA Reports: select whether your radio will ask the called station for a report on the
quality of the communication every time a call is initiated.
•
SCN
Scan Rate: select the number of channels scanned each second when the radio is in
ALE mode: can be set to 2 or 5 channels per second.
• HACK Home Acknowledgment: enable/disable home acknowledgment. When enabled, the
radio transmits an end-of-call indication to the remote station.
• MACK Monitor Acknowledgment: enable/disable monitor acknowledgment. When enabled,
the radio transmits an
accept call indication to the station that initiated the call.
•
OCUP
Occupancy Check: enable/disable the occupancy check. The occupancy check
defines whether the radio uses the speech detect mechanism to determine whether a
channel on which a call is about to be made is occupied. If this option is ON, a call
cannot be initiated on a channel determined to be occupied. This option can be
operated in addition to the ALE signal detection mechanism.
You can select the interval at which occupancy checks are made (300 to 3000 msec,
in 300-msec increments).
•
M/S
Master/Slave: select whether your radio serves as a master or slave in the current ALE
network. Only a master station can initiate a Net Call.
•
ALLC
AIICall Settings: this option determines whether the ALE is able to receive and/or send
AllCalls. An AIICall is an ALE broadcast transmission. All stations receiving an AIICall
are linked to the sender, even if they do not recognize the sender’s address. If no
AIICall channel is defined, the call will be made on the best channel in the net.
•
TUNE
Tune Time: select the tuning time. Tuning time is the maximum time the current ALE
waits for the called station to tune (this is the tune-in time of the slowest tuner in the
net). The tune time is added to the calculated response time. Tune time can be 1 to
20 seconds, or OFF (zero).
Directory Parameters
This DIR option on the ALE Programming menu enables preparing the ALE address list. This list
contains the names of stations to which the radio can address a private call using the ALE. You can
add a new address, and edit an existing address.
A name can contain up to 15 characters. Valid characters are the letters A to Z and the numerals
0 to 9. You cannot add an address which is identical to the name of a programmed net, nor an
address already used as a self address in a programmed net. The list can contain up to 100 addresses,
and is automatically sorted in ascending alphanumeric order.
