The NET List132 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout NETsA NET is a special ALE addressing capability. With NET addressing, two or more stations are pre-configured to respond to the same NET address. When a station calls a NET, all stations with that NET address and their self addresses in the Member Address setting for the NET respond in their designated response slot. In the NGT transceiver, a NET contains the configuration information required for making and receiving NET calls. This information defines the process for the handshake during link establishment.The full 3-way handshake process involves a leading call from the initiating station, a response from the receiving station, and an acknowledgement from the initiating station. Following the acknowledgement, all stations that are able to, enter the link.A station can have a NET programmed in its NET List and either:• be a member of the NET, that is, their self address is in the Member Address setting for the NET• not be a member of the NET, that is, their self address is not in the Member Address setting for the NETNETs are used with ALE/CALM networks, which define the channels that the NET may use when establishing an ALE link, and the Privacy Mode for messaging within a call. For more information on networks see page 121, The Network List.You can make a call to a NET by selecting the NET, Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, or Send Position call type and entering the NET address. You can set up an entry in the Address List to make a NET call. For more information on the Address List see page 145, The Address List.Figure 28 shows an example of the information required to create a NET. This information is explained on page 134, Settings in the NET List.

The NET List134 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSettings in the NET ListNameThe NET name may be any meaningful name that you want to assign to the NET. The name may be up to 20 alphanumeric characters including spaces. The NET name is only used for reference within the transceiver. It is not part of the NET configuration data.AddressThe Address setting contains the global address used by all members of the NET, and other stations that have the NET programmed in the NET List, to establish an ALE link during NET calls. The address may be up to 15 alphanumeric characters however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the address be limited to 3 characters. You should choose an address that is not the same as any self addresses in the NET or wider communication audience.NetworkThe Network setting refers to the network containing the channels to be used with the NET. This is selected from the pre-defined list of networks in the Network List. You can set up two NETs with the same address but with different networks, say one for Group Privacy Mode and one for Plain Privacy Mode. If the networks have the same channels, then the Member Address setting in each NET should be identical.Member AddressThe Member Address setting contains a sequential list of the self addresses of all members of the NET. The station uses this list to calculate the response slots, so each station in the NET can determine when an automatic response is required after the initiating call. A member address may be up to 15 alphanumeric characters however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the member addresses be limited to 3 characters. To preserve an empty slot use the null address (@@@) in a member address position.NOTE In the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the NET List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.
The NET List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 135Outgoing CallsThe Outgoing Calls setting enables you to set up your station to make calls to the NET, or disable calling to the NET. Unless you need to restrict calling to the NET, you should set the Outgoing Calls setting to Enabled for all stations in the NET, regardless of their member status.If you want to set up your NET so that only one station makes calls to the NET, set the Outgoing Calls setting for the NET in that station to Enabled. All other stations with this NET programmed would then have the Outgoing Calls setting for the NET set to Disabled.Incoming CallsThe Incoming Calls setting enables you to set up your station to receive all incoming calls from the NET, receive calls only if you are a member of the NET, or disable receiving calls from the NET.If the station has the NET programmed, then it can receive calls from the NET if the Incoming Calls setting is set to Enabled. If your station has the NET programmed but you are not a member, and you do not want to receive all of the NET calls, set the Incoming Calls setting to Members only. As your station is not a member of the NET, it will not enter the link. If you are a member of the NET but do not want to receive any calls from the NET, select Disabled.LinkThe Link setting determines how the initiating station links with the receiving stations. It can link:• only if it receives a response from a member station• even if it doesn’t receive a response from a member station• immediatelyCAUTION If the Link setting is set to Only if response, you must ensure that at least one member station is set to receive an incoming call from the NET.CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.NOTEStations with the NET programmed will only send a response to a NET call if:• their self address is included in the Member Address setting for the NET, that is, they are a member of the NET• the Response setting in the NET List is set to Send
The NET List136 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualIf it is important that you know with which member stations you have linked, then you must set the Link setting to Only if response. The initiating station will make the call to the NET using the best channel, on average, for all NET members. If there is no response to this channel, the initiating station will select the next ranked channel and attempt the call again, and so on until at least one response is received. Any member station detecting the call will respond, if they are enabled to do so, then the initiating station completes the link. Non-member stations with this NET programmed will also enter the link, but as they are not members, they will not send a response. If you use this setting, you must be sure that there are stations in your NET that will respond. If the initiating station does not receive a response to the call after trying all channels for the NET, it will terminate the link establishment process.If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed, but you do not need to know which of the member stations have entered the link, set the Link setting to Even if no response. The initiating station will make the call to the NET using the best average channel for all NET members. All stations detecting the call will enter the link, if enabled to do so.If you want to send a NET call to all stations with the NET programmed without the delay of the link establishment process, set the Link setting to Immediately. In this case, the initiating station will establish an implicit link with any stations programmed with the NET that detected the call. There is no 3-way handshake.ResponseThe Response setting sets whether or not receiving member stations respond to NET calls during link establishment. Generally, you would set the Response setting to Send, so that there is confirmation of the station entering the link. However, if for some reason you do not want the receiving station to transmit on air, you would set the Response setting to Don’t send. If a station is set to not respond, it will still enter the link when it receives the acknowledgement from the initiating station.Tune TimeThe Tune Time setting is the time that the members of the NET wait after the initiating call before sending the automatic responses to the initiating station. This time should be set to match the longest tuning time between all members in the NET.CAUTION If the Link setting is set to Only if response, you must ensure that at least one member station is set to respond to a call from the NET.NOTEThe Response setting is only applicable to NET calls. It does not affect a station’s ability to respond to an ANY, Group Selective or Wildcard call (see page 158, Calls you can make and receive).CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.
The NET List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 137LQA ExchangeThe LQA Exchange setting determines whether or not the exchange of LQA information occurs during calls within the NET. If this setting is enabled, the transceiver adds an appropriate amount of time to the slot widths so that LQA information can be exchanged.Slot WidthThe Slot Width setting determines the width of response slots for each member of the NET. If the Slot Width setting is set to Fixed, then all slot widths match the width required for the largest member address for the NET. However, this extends the time to complete the handshake considerably. Unless required for interoperability reasons, the recommended setting is Variable. In this case, the transceiver calculates the exact slot width required for the response from each station.CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.CAUTION This setting must be the same in all member stations.

The Phone Link List142 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout phone linksA phone link is a connection to a station with a telephone interconnect unit that can route Phone calls from transceivers to the public telephone network. The addresses of the phone link stations you use, and the networks and channel/modes you use to make Phone calls, can be stored in the Phone Link List. If you want to be prompted for some of these details when you make a Phone call you can leave the relevant settings in the Phone Link List blank. If you want to be prompted for all of these details leave the Phone Link List blank.Settings in the Phone Link ListAddressThe Address setting in a phone link is the address of the transceiver connected to the radio/telephone interface.NetworkThe Network setting in a phone link identifies the network through which the call is made to the transceiver connected to the radio/telephone interface.Channel/ModeThe Channel/Mode setting in a phone link identifies the channel and mode that are used to make a call to the transceiver connected to the radio/telephone interface.NOTEIn the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the Phone Link List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).

The Address List146 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout the Address ListThe Address List is like any personal address book: it is a place to store the names and addresses of stations you often call. When you have entered the details of a station, calling the station becomes as simple as going to the entry for it, then pressing CALL.If you want to be prompted to enter particular details at the time you make a call (for example, type a message or select a channel) you can leave the relevant settings blank. If you make several different types of calls to one address you can create several entries with the same name and address but with different call types.The Emergency 1 entry is stored in the Address List. This is the entry the transceiver calls when you press . Setting up this key is covered on page 150, Setting up the emergency key.For information on making calls from the Address List and making calls using   see page 173, Making a call.
The Address List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 147Settings in the Address ListCallType–AddressThe call type is the type of call that you want to make to the station that you want to call. For example, if you want to know where a mobile station is located, you send a Get Position call to the station. The Address setting is the address of the station that you want to call.If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can set up the Address List to use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types. The transceiver will automatically determine the call type from the ALE address syntax that you enter in the address.If you enter the ALE address syntax...The transceiver will send...@?@ a global ALL call to all listening stations (see page 159, ALL address syntax)@A@ a selective ALL call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, TNAA, EANBA, 1NCA, 23A (see page 159, ALL address syntax)@@? a global ANY call to all listening stations (see page 160, ANY address syntax)@@A a selective ANY call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, TNAA, EANBA, 1NCA, 23A (see page 160, ANY address syntax)@AB a double selective ANY call to listening stations that have ‘AB’ as the last two characters of their self address (‘A’ and ‘B’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, BAAB, 14BAB, Q2CAB, 1AB (see page 160, ANY address syntax)
The Address List148 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualMessageThe Message setting in the Address List entry is available when you select Message as the call type. It may be used for requesting configuration and diagnostic information from other transceivers in your network, or you can pre-store a standard message that is sent each time you make a call using this entry in the Address List. For example, you may need to notify your base station that you are shutting down for the day. Therefore, you would create an entry in your Address List to send a Message call (call type) to your base station (address) containing the message ‘Shut down’. The Privacy Mode and Privacy Password in the network used for the call specify how the data is transmitted, for example, plain or encrypted (see page 124, Privacy Mode).Messages are sent using a Codan protocol in Codan Selcall networks, and as an AMD message in ALE/CALM networks.A Message call closes the link as soon as the message has been sent.Phone LinkThe Phone Link setting in an Address List entry is available when you select Phone as the call type. It identifies the phone link station through which the call is made.@A? a double selective wildcard ANY call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the second to last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number) and any upper-case letter or number as the last character, for example, USAM, 19MA0, ENA9, 3DAZ (see page 160, ANY address syntax)ABC,JK3MN,PQR (example only)a Group Selective call to the stations specifically addressed (see page 161, Group Selective address syntax)NET address a NET call to all stations with that NET programmed in the NET List (see page 162, NET address syntax)??? a Wildcard call to listening stations that have a self address matching the length of the sent address and with any upper-case letter or number as each of the characters, for example, SAM, NAA, 234, 3AZ (see page 163, Wildcard address syntax)A?B? (example only) a selective Wildcard call to listening stations that have a self address matching the length of the sent address with ‘A’ and ‘B’ as the first and third characters respectively, and with any upper-case letter or number in the second and last characters, in this case (‘A’ and ‘B’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, A2BM, ADB1, AZBE, A3B8 (see page 163, Wildcard address syntax)If you enter the ALE address syntax...The transceiver will send...

The Address List150 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSetting up the emergency keyWhen you press  the transceiver begins a call to the station specified in the Emergency 1 entry in the Address List. You can configure this entry to make any type of call available to you. Emergency calls will trigger an emergency alert tone at the receiving station. When AMD messaging is used in ALE calls, an emergency alert tone is triggered by #HELP, #SOS, #MAYDAY, #PANPAN, and #EMERGENCY text. The key can be set up to call one or more stations in an emergency.Calling one station in an emergencyTo set up the  key to call one station in an emergency:1Press VIEW until the Address List is displayed.1Press .1Scroll to Emergency 1, then press .1Edit the details in each setting to suit the call you want to make (for help see page 155, Editing an entry in the Address List).Calling several stations in an emergencyIf you want to set up the  key to call several stations you can do so in two ways. You can:• make one call to several stations simultaneously• make several different types of calls in successionCAUTIONYou should pre-set all the settings in the Emergency entries so that the call is made automatically during an emergency without the transceiver prompting for information.NOTEIf the Emergency 1 entry has been deleted, create a new entry and name it Emergency 1 (for help see page 154, Creating an entry in the Address List).
The Address List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 151Calling several stations simultaneouslyIf you want to call several stations simultaneously, set up the Emergency 1 entry in the Address List to make a call.In an ALE/CALM network, calls to a group of stations can be made using ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed. You can also send a message as part of the ALE call.For more information on the special ALE address syntax see page 147, CallType–Address.In a Codan Selcall network, calls to a group of stations can be made using a group selcall address through the Emergency, Message, and Selective call types. A group address is an address that ends in two or more zeros. For example, to call all stations with addresses that range from 1201 to 1299, you would enter 1200 as the address. To call all stations with addresses that range from 150001 to 159999, you would enter 150000 as the address.To set up the  key to call several stations simultaneously:1Press VIEW until the Address List is displayed.1Press .1Scroll to Emergency 1, then press .1Enter the details of the call you want to make (for help see page 155, Editing an entry in the Address List).1Enter the group selcall address in the CallType–Address setting.NOTEIf the Emergency 1 entry has been deleted, create a new entry and name it Emergency 1 (for help see page 154, Creating an entry in the Address List).
The Address List152 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualMaking several different types of callsIf you want to make several different types of calls in succession you need to create an entry in the Address List for each different type of call you want to make, and name the entries Emergency 1, Emergency 2, Emergency 3 and so on.When you press , the transceiver calls the station (or stations) specified in the Emergency 1 entry, then pauses for about 10 seconds. It then calls the station in the Emergency 2 entry, and so on, until it calls the station in the last Emergency entry. Calls made this way are referred to as chain calls. When the transceiver pauses between calls it displays the seconds remaining in the pause at the top right of the screen, as shown in Figure 29.Figure 29: The front panel screen during a chain callYou can terminate a chain call by pressing PTT. If you press PTT during:• an Emergency or Selective call, you can continue with the current call but the chain call itself is terminated (that is, the transceiver will not call the next Emergency entry) • a call in which data is being sent to another station (for example, a Message call), the current call and chain call are terminatedYou can also terminate a chain call by pressing any key. The exceptions to this are that:• you can press  to remove messages on the screen, and press  and   to adjust the volume at any time, without terminating the call• if you are prompted to select and/or enter details about the call (for example, a channel/mode), you can press any keys to do so without terminating the callNOTEThis capability is available for use in Codan Selcall networks, enabling you to make different types of calls, or even the same call type on several channels.In ALE/CALM networks, the channel selection is typically done automatically, so it is not necessary to set up the Emergency entries in the Address List to make chain calls.NOTEIf you want to make a call that sends data and a call that enables you to speak to an operator, set up the Emergency entries to make the data call first: once you press PTT to speak to an operator, the chain call is terminated.
The Address List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 153To set up the  key to call several stations in succession:1Decide on the stations you want to call in an emergency, the type of call you want to make to each station, and the order in which you want to make the calls.1Enter the details of the first call you want to make into the Emergency 1 entry (for help see page 155, Editing an entry in the Address List).1Create an entry in the Address List, name it Emergency 2 and enter the details of the second call you want to make (for help see page 154, Creating an entry in the Address List).1Create an entry for each subsequent call you want to make, naming the entries Emergency 3, Emergency 4 and so on.The number of Emergency entries you can create is limited by the number of entries you can store in the Address List.NOTEIf you want to use a special ALE address syntax, you should set up the Emergency entries to make calls that create an implicit link, or link immediately first, for example, an ALL call. Address syntaxes that require a response should be set up in the last Emergency entry of the chain call, if required.

Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 159ALL address syntaxIf you want to send an ALE call to any station that is tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or scanning the network, make a call through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types using the ALL address syntax (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). The ALL call does not specifically call any stations, and does not request any automatic responses from stations that enter the link. Stations can be configured to accept or to ignore ALL calls.The global ALL address syntax is @?@. All stations detecting the call will enter an ALE link with the initiating station, if enabled to do so. The group of linking stations can be narrowed by using a selective ALL address syntax. In this address, the ? is replaced by an upper-case letter or number, for example, @A@. All stations detecting the call that have this letter or number as the last character in their self address for the ALE/CALM network will enter the link.If you send a selective ALL call to a group of stations, you can send another selective ALL call to bring more stations into the link. For example, if you initially call @A@, all stations tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or scanning the network with an ‘A’ as the last character of their self address will enter the link. If you follow this with a call to @B@, then a further group of stations with ‘B’ as the last character of their self address will also enter the link. If the receiving stations are already in a link, this link will be closed and a new link created with the new call.Alternatively, you can send multiple ALL addresses together to make a call to a range of stations, for example, @A@,@B@.NOTE The ALL address syntax may be used if the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option or MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver.NOTE You cannot use the ALL address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type.NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.NOTE When you use an ALL address syntax through the Selective call type, the call icon will change to the ALL call icon ( ) when the call is started.
Making and receiving calls160 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualANY address syntaxIf you want to send an ALE call to any station that is tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or scanning the network, and receive a response, make a call through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types using the ANY address syntax (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). The ANY call does not specifically call any stations, but it does request an automatic response from stations that detect the call. These responses are returned in any slot position (collisions may occur). The operator at the initiating station can use these responses to gather information on the status of the stations using the network. The initiating station then completes the link establishment with an acknowledgement sent to all stations from which it received a response. Stations can be configured to respond to or to ignore ANY calls.The global ANY address syntax is @@?. All stations detecting the call will send a response to the initiating station. The group of stations detecting the call can be narrowed by using a selective ANY address syntax. In this address, the ? is replaced by an upper-case letter or number, for example, @@A. All stations detecting the call that have this letter or number as the last character in their self address for the ALE/CALM network will send a response, then enter a link with the initiating station when the acknowledgement is received.You can send multiple ANY addresses together to make a call to a range of stations, for example, @@A,@@B.The allowable length of the called address is dependent on the length of the self address used for the call.NOTE The ANY address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver.NOTE You cannot use the ANY address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type.NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.CAUTION If a station detects an ANY call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.NOTE When you use an ANY address syntax through the Selective call type, the call icon will change to the ANY call icon ( ) when the call is started.If the length of your self address is... The length of the called address can be...1–3 characters 1–9 characters4–6 characters 1–3 characters
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 161Group Selective address syntaxIf you want to send an ALE call to specific stations that are named in the call but are not members of a pre-determined group, make a call through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types using the Group Selective address syntax (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). The Group Selective call requests an automatic response from stations that detect the call and whose self addresses match one of those in the call. These responses are sent in reverse order from that provided in the call. The initiating station then completes the link establishment with an acknowledgement sent to all stations from which it received a response.With Group Selective addresses, the length of the combined address can be no longer than 12 ALE words, excluding commas. An ALE word has 3 characters. There can be no more than five different first ALE words in the combined address. For example:An address of ‘BOB1,BOB2,BOB3,BOB4,TIM,JOHN,MIK,SUE’ has five different first ALE words, that is, BOB, TIM, JOH, MIK and SUE. However, this address will be rejected because it has a total of 13 ALE words, that is, BOB, 1, BOB, 2, BOB, 3, BOB, 4, TIM, JOH, N, MIK and SUE.NOTE The Group Selective address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver.NOTE You cannot use the Group Selective address syntax in the Get Position or Get Status call type.NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.CAUTION If a station detects a Group Selective call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.NOTEWhen you use a Group Selective address syntax through the Selective call type, the call icon will change to the Group Selective call icon ( ) when the call is started.
Making and receiving calls162 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualNET address syntaxIf you want to send an ALE call from one station to other stations that are members of the NET or have the NET programmed, make a NET call using the NET address through the Emergency, Message, NET, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). These stations have a common NET address. The member stations send an automatic response to the initiating station in a pre-determined response slot. The initiating station then completes the link establishment with all member stations. If a member station is set up to not respond during its allocated response slot, it will still enter the link.The NET address syntax can be any combination of upper-case letters and numbers up to 15 characters however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the address be limited to 3 characters. To make a call using a NET, the NET must be programmed in the transceiver and configured correctly (see page 138, Programming the NET List).NOTE The NET address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver.NOTE You cannot use the NET address syntax in the Get Position or Get Status call type.NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.NOTE When you use a NET address syntax through the Selective call type, the call icon will change to the NET call icon ( ) when the call is started.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 163Wildcard address syntaxIf you want to send an ALE call to any station that is tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or scanning the network, and receive a response, make a call through the Emergency, Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position call types using the Wildcard address syntax (see page 167, Emergency call, page 168, Message call, page 169, Phone call, page 169, Selective call, and page 170, Send Position call). The Wildcard address syntax, which ALE stations recognise, uses the wildcard character ? as a placeholder for characters within a self address of a receiving station. Stations that detect the call and whose self address matches the pattern in the wildcard address will send a response to the initiating station. These responses are returned in any slot position (collisions may occur). For example, a call sent to EM? may be responded to by stations in the network with a self address in the ranges EMA–EMZ and EM0–EM9. The initiating station then completes the link establishment with an acknowledgement sent to all stations from which it received a response.You can send multiple Wildcard addresses together to make a call to a range of stations, for example, ?A,B??.The allowable length of the called address is dependent on the length of the self address used for the call.NOTE The Wildcard address syntax may be used if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed in the transceiver.NOTE You cannot use the Wildcard address syntax in the Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call type.NOTE For information on entering text in a call address see page 56, Entering text in an ALE call address.CAUTION If a station detects a Wildcard call to its matching self address, it will send a response over the air.NOTEWhen you use a Wildcard address syntax through the Selective call type, the call icon will change to the Wildcard call icon ( ) when the call is started.NOTEThe wildcard question marks can be in any position within the address. The stations that respond will have an address that is the same length as the wildcard address sent from the initiating station.If the length of your self address is... The length of the called address can be...1–3 characters 1–9 characters4–6 characters 1–3 characters

Making and receiving calls166 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualEach type of call is described below. Channel Test callIf you want to test the suitability of a channel/mode before you use it to transmit voice or data, make a Channel Test call.In an ALE/CALM network, a Channel Test call may be sent to an ALE address using a Group Selective or NET address syntax (if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed).A Channel Test call made in an ALE/CALM network with a Group Selective or NET address may be used to replace the information in the LQA database. The initiating station automatically sends a beacon on each channel/mode combination in the ALE/CALM network, recording local and remote BER and SINAD information, and calculating an LQA score. The LQA screen is visible during the Channel Test call, and at the end of the call, displays the best channel on which to make the call.The LQA information recorded during a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network replaces information already recorded against the same network and self addresses. Using a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network is an immediate method of replacing the LQA database in the transceiver.A Channel Test call made in an ALE/CALM network using the text SOUNDING as the call address may be used to initiate a sounding operation. Transceivers that detect this sounding will update the relevant information stored in their LQA database.Table 18: Call types and iconsCall type IconChannel TestEmergencyGet PositionGet StatusMessagePhoneSelectiveSend PositionNOTE You cannot use the ALL, ANY, or Wildcard address syntax with a Channel Test call.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 167In a Codan Selcall network, a Channel Test call sends a request to the station you want to call on the channel/mode you have selected. The receiving station automatically returns an audible test signal. The volume and clarity of this signal indicates the quality of the channel/mode.You can also test channels once you have started a call (for more information see page 176, Replacing LQA information as part of a call in an ALE/CALM network and page 174, Testing a channel as part of a call in a Codan Selcall network).Emergency callIf you want to trigger an emergency alert tone at a particular station and speak to an operator, make an Emergency call. If the GPS option is installed in the transceiver (and you have connected and configured a GPS receiver), your GPS position is automatically sent with the call. Emergency calls can be sent to several stations at once (see page 150, Setting up the emergency key and page 170, Group calls in a Codan Selcall network).If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Emergency call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Emergency call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with an Emergency call see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.Get Position callIf you want to obtain the GPS position of a station that has the GPS option installed in the transceiver (and a GPS receiver connected to it and configured), make a Get Position call. Get Position calls are automatically answered by the receiving station so an operator is not required to take any action.The information you receive from a Get Position call is displayed on the front panel as it is received, if permitted, and is stored in the Calls In Log (see page 192, The Calls In Log).NOTE You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9, @ and ?) for the address.NOTE You cannot use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax with a Get Position call.NOTEThe success of your Get Position call will depend upon the setting in the Cfg Respond GPS entry in the Control List of the transceiver you are polling and the Privacy Mode of the network you are using for the call (see page 204, Cfg Respond GPS).
Making and receiving calls168 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualGet Status callIf you want to obtain information on the status of a transceiver at another station, such as the power output of the transmitter or the firmware versions installed, make a Get Status call. Get Status calls are automatically answered by the receiving station so an operator is not required to take any action.The information you receive from a Get Status call is displayed on the front panel as it is received, if permitted, and is stored in the Calls In Log (see page 192, The Calls In Log).When you make a Get Status call you need to specify the type of information you require: diagnostic or configuration. This is described in detail on page 335, Get Status calls.Message callIf you want to send a typed message to another station, make a Message call. You can enter a message at the time you make a call, store up to 10 messages in the Control List for later use, and store messages in the Address List as part of a Message call.If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Message call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Message call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Message call see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.Message calls are automatically answered by any receiving stations so an operator is not required to take any action. If you send an ALE call using the Message call type, the link terminates immediately after the message is sent. Messages you receive are displayed on the front panel, if permitted, and stored in the Calls In Log (see page 192, The Calls In Log).NOTE You cannot use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax with a Get Status call.NOTEThe success of your Get Status call will depend upon the setting in the Cfg Respond OTA entry in the Control List of the transceiver you are polling and the Privacy Mode of the network you are using for the call (see page 204, Cfg Respond OTA).NOTE You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9, @ and ?) for the address.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 169Phone callIf you want to call a telephone number from the transceiver, make a Phone call. Before you make a Phone call you need to know the address of a telecommunication station through which your call can be routed to the public telephone network.If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of telecommunication stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Phone call see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.Selective callIf you want to speak to an operator at a particular station, make a Selective call. When the station receives the call the transceiver rings like a phone to notify the operator. Selective calls can be heard by any station tuned to or scanning your current channel with their mute switched off. However, only the transceiver at the station to which the call has been addressed will ring.Selective calls can be made to several stations at once (see page 170, Group calls in a Codan Selcall network).If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. The transceiver will automatically determine the call icon from the address syntax that you enter in the address.If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective Msg entry in the Control List enabled, you will be able to send a message with the start of a call if you press  when prompted during the call. You must use an ALE/CALM network to make the call.For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Selective call see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.NOTE You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9, @ and ?) for the address.NOTE You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9, @ and ?) for the address.
Making and receiving calls170 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSend Position callIf you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position call. You can only make Send Position calls if the GPS option has been installed in your transceiver.If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL address syntax with the Send Position call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the Send Position call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network. The transceiver will automatically determine the call icon from the address syntax that you enter in the address.For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Send Position call see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.Send Position calls are automatically answered by any receiving stations so an operator is not required to take any action. If you send an ALE call using the Send Position call type, the link terminates immediately after the GPS position is sent. GPS positions you send are stored in the Calls Out Log (see page 187, The Calls Out Log).Group calls in a Codan Selcall networkEmergency, Message and Selective calls can be made to a group of stations simultaneously by using a Codan Selcall network and a group address.A group selcall address is an address that ends in two or more zeros. For example, to call all stations with addresses that range from 1201 to 1299, you would enter 1200 as the address. To call all stations with addresses that range from 150001 to 159999, you would enter 150000 as the address.NOTE You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9, @ and ?) for the address.NOTE You can replace the zeros at the end of the address with dots or question marks, for example, 12.. or 12?? instead of 1200.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 171Special AMD messaging featuresFor 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 syntaxSyntax Processed as...#CMD A query call. The command is forwarded to the CICS port or internal engineering terminal, then the status is returned.#EMERGENCY An Emergency call. The transceiver will sound an emergency 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 by position information.#HELP An Emergency call. The transceiver will sound an emergency alert tone.#MAYDAY An Emergency call. The transceiver will sound an emergency alert tone.#PANPAN An Emergency call. The transceiver will sound an emergency alert tone.#SOS An Emergency call. The transceiver will sound an emergency alert tone.#TEL <Telephone number>A Phone call. The call is transferred to the attached telephone interconnect unit, which dials the telephone number.#TEL! A hangup for a Phone call. The hangup from the radio party has hung up the call.NOTEWhen 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.
Making and receiving calls172 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualRecognised variable expansionThe variables listed in Table 20 may be added in a Message call or an AMD message sent with a call. These variables are recognised by the 2110 SSB Transceiver’s firmware. The firmware expands the variable by inserting the current information associated with the variable in the message.If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective Msg entry in the Control List enabled, you will be able to send a message with the start of a call if you press  when prompted during the call. If you enter the following message...MY POSITION IS $GPS ...the receiving station will display the following:“MY POSITION IS 8958.04N 13841.23E +0.0M 101622 (A)” 05 FEB 02:05 Table 20: Recognised variables and their associated informationKeyword Function when used in a message$DATE Inserts the current date in the following format: <name of day> <month> <day> <year>$GPS Inserts the current valid GPS position in the following format: <latitude> <longitude> <altitude> <UTC>$TIME Inserts the current time in the following format: <hh>:<mm>:<ss>$TZ Inserts the time zone offset in the following format: <time zone offset>$VER Inserts the current version of the transceiver unit firmware in the following format: <version number>NOTE For help on entering $ see page 55, Entering special characters in messages and names.NOTEThe transceiver checks the length of the expanded message before transmission. If you receive an error stating that the message is too long, review the message and shorten the message as required.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 173Making a callListen Before Transmit ModeThe 2110 SSB Transceiver is capable of listening to a channel before initiating a call on the channel. If the Cfg LBT Mode in the Control List is enabled, the transceiver will detect whether or not there is traffic on the selected channel, that is, the channel is occupied. The transceiver will listen on a channel for the length of time specified in the Cfg LBT Period entry in the Control List. The transceiver will try busy channels twice before reporting that they are busy.The Cfg LBT Mode may be set to Enabled, Override allowed, or Disabled.When the Cfg LBT Mode is set to Enabled, and the transceiver detects that the channel(s) tried is(are) busy, it will prompt you to try the call again. You can:•press CALL to try the call again using LBT• press  to select a new channel, then press CALL to make a call on this channel using LBTWhen the Cfg LBT Mode is set to Override allowed, and the transceiver detects that the channel(s) tried is(are) busy, it will prompt you to try the call again. You can:•press CALL to try the call again using LBT•hold CALL to try the call again without LBT (send the call regardless of any detected traffic)• press  to select a new channel, then press CALL to make a call on this channel using LBT•hold  to select a new channel and try the call on this channel without LBT (send the call regardless of any detected traffic)Calls using the Emergency call type or calls made through the  key will override the LBT Mode if it is enabled at either level. For information on setting up the  key see page 150, Setting up the emergency key.NOTEIf you change the setting in the Cfg LBT Mode entry in the Control List you must switch the transceiver off then on again for the change to take effect.NOTEIf only one channel was tried and found to be busy using LBT, you can listen for traffic on the channel then, if clear, override LBT by holding CALL.
Making and receiving calls174 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualTesting the quality of a channel in a Codan Selcall networkIf you want to test the quality of a particular channel/mode in a Codan Selcall network before you use it to transmit voice or data, you can do so in two ways. You can:• start making a call then, when prompted to select a channel/mode, test one or more channel/mode combinations• make a separate Channel Test call before you make the other callTesting a channel as part of a call in a Codan Selcall networkTo test a channel/mode as part of a call:1Start the call using your preferred method.For example, go to the Address List then select the entry for the station you want to call.1When the transceiver prompts you to select a channel/mode, scroll to the channel/mode you want to test then hold CALL.1Listen for the revertive signal from the other station.The volume and clarity of the signal indicates the quality of the channel/mode. You may need to try another channel.1When you have found a suitable channel/mode, press CALL to continue the call.Making a Channel Test call in a Codan Selcall networkTo make a Channel Test call in a Codan Selcall network:1Press CALL.1Type the address of the station you want to call and select Channel Test? as the call type.1Select the Codan Selcall network in which you want to make the call.1Scroll to the channel/mode you want to test, then press CALL.1Listen for the revertive signal from the other station.The volume and clarity of the signal indicates the quality of the channel/mode.NOTE This is the recommended method of making a Channel Test call.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 175Replacing LQA information for all channels in an ALE/CALM networkIf your station operates in a rapidly changing environment, for example, interactions with mobile stations, you may want to replace the network-specific LQA information in the transceiver’s database just prior to making a call in the network. You can do this by making a Channel Test call in the network using the Group Selective or NET address syntax.If you want to replace the LQA information for an ALE/CALM network in your transceiver, you can do so in two ways. You can:• start a call then, when prompted to select a channel/mode, test one or more channel/mode combinations• make a separate Channel Test call before you make the other callDuring a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network, the LQA screen will be visible, indicating the most recent response from a station, and a progress report on the highest number of responses received on any channel and the number of channels tried.Figure 30: LQA screen showing the most recent responseFor more information on the LQA screen see page 224, LQA Screen entry.NOTE You can make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.CAUTIONYou cannot make a Channel Test call using the ALL, ANY, or Wildcard address syntax, or to a NET that is set up to link immediately (see page 134, Settings in the NET List).station that has respondedmost recently

Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 177Making a manual sounding operation in an ALE/CALM networkIf you need to perform a manual sounding operation using the handset, you make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network using the text SOUNDING as the address. You can do this as part of a new call, or if you use this feature often, set up an entry in the Address List, then use this entry to perform a sounding operation in the selected network (see page 154, Creating an entry in the Address List). The sounding operation will update the LQA database in transceivers that detect the sounding.To make a manual sounding operation:1Press CALL.1Select Channel Test? as the call type, then press * to enter the text SOUNDING as the address, then press CALL.1Select the ALE/CALM network in which you want to make the sounding, and if scanning was switched off, the channel/mode on which you want to make the sounding.A sounding operation on all channels, or the specified channel, in the network is performed.NOTE Manual sounding is available if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.
Making and receiving calls178 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSelecting the best channel in an ALE/CALM networkIn order to select the best channel based on LQA information stored in the transceiver, you need to provide the context of the best channel, that is, the address that you want to call and the network in which you want to make the call.To select the best channel:1Press SCAN to switch off scanning.1Press CALL.1Type the address of the station for which you want to find the best channel.1Select any valid call type for the address entered.1Select the ALE/CALM network in which you want to make the call.1At the channel/mode prompt, press .The best channel is selected.NOTE You must have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.
Making and receiving calls2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 179Other ways to make callsMaking a new callMaking a new call is as simple as pressing CALL, typing the address of the station you want to call, then following the prompts. You can make a new call at any time.Returning a callThe details of the calls you receive are stored in the Calls In Log. Up to 20 calls can be stored at a time and you can return any of these calls directly from this log.When you return a call from the Calls In Log you can either use as many details of the original call as possible, or review all details and select new details if necessary.For more information on the log see page 192, The Calls In Log.Repeating a callThe details of the calls you make are stored in the Calls Out Log. Up to 20 calls can be stored at one time and you can repeat any of these calls directly from this log.When you repeat a call from the Calls Out Log you can either use as many details of the original call as possible, or review all details and select new details if necessary. For more information on the log see page 187, The Calls Out Log.Making a call from the Last Heard LogIf you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, your transceiver will keep a log of the last 100 on-air transmissions it has detected. The information gathered from each transmission includes the self address used by the heard station, the time/date of the transmission, and the channel/mode used for the transmission.When you make a call from the Last Heard Log, you will be prompted with the information from the log. You may select new details for the call if necessary.For more information on the log see page 196, Detecting transmissions from other stations.Making a call from the Phone Link ListIf you make frequent Phone calls from the transceiver you may want to make them from the Phone Link List. When you begin a call from this list the call type is always Phone (so you don’t have to scroll to it), and you are not prompted to select a phone link; the call uses the entry you were on when you began the call.You may be prompted to select certain details about the call depending on the configuration of the transceiver.

Making and receiving calls190 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualReceiving a callThere are two ways you can receive a call. You can listen to a channel and respond when you hear a voice, or you can wait until an alert tone notifies you of a call addressed to your station. This section covers receiving calls addressed to your station.When you receive a call addressed to your station, the transceiver sounds an audible alert tone, displays an incoming call screen, if permitted, and creates an entry in the Calls In Log.The call alertThe call alert varies according to the type of call received. For Message, Phone, Selective and Send Position calls it continues for about 10 seconds then changes to a series of pips until you press a key. For Emergency calls it continues for 5 minutes then changes to a series of pips.NOTE These events do not occur when you receive a Channel Test, Get Position, or Get Status call as the transceiver automatically responds to these calls.Table 21: Call types and alert tonesCall type Alert tone sounds like...Emergency heehaw, heehaw, heehawMessage pip, pip, pip, pip, pipPhone a telephone ringingSelective a telephone ringingSend Position pip, pip, pip, pip, pipGroup calls: Emergency callsall other callsheehaw, heehaw, heehawbeep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beepNOTEIf you want to switch off the audible alert tone when a call is received, set the Cfg Alert Tones entry in the Control List to Disabled (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level and page 200, Entries in the Control List).

If your station detects a call with a matching ALL address syntax, it will enter the linked state and alert the operator. If you do not want to receive either global or selective ALL calls, disable this feature.ALE Accept ANY CallANY calls are not addressed to a specific station. If your station detects a call with a matching ANY address syntax, it will send a response (random slot) to the initiating station. Your station will enter a link when it receives an acknowledgement from the initiating station. If you do not want to receive either global or selective ANY calls, disable this feature.ALE Accept Wildcard CallWildcard calls are not addressed to a specific station. If your station detects a call with a matching Wildcard address syntax, it will send a response (random slot) to the initiating station. Your station will enter a link when it receives an acknowledgement from the initiating station. If you do not want to receive Wildcard calls, disable this feature.ALE AMD PositionAMD data can be sent at different positions within an ALE call. You can set the transceiver to send it in the leading part of the call, or you can set the transceiver to automatically select the best place to send the AMD data with the call, in either the leading or acknowledge part of the call.NOTE You must have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed to use the ALE entries in the Control List.NOTE In the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the Control List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).CAUTIONDo not attempt to change the ALE settings in the Control List unless you are familiar with ALE operation. For more information on ALE, refer to FED-STD-1045 ALE.The initial values that are set in your transceiver by Codan should provide good performance.
The Control List210 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualWith ALE calling, the transceiver may cycle through several channels before a link is established. If you select Leading, the AMD data is always positioned in the leading part of the call. The data will be transmitted prior to any response from the receiving station. If the transceiver abandons this channel and moves to the next best channel, it will send the AMD data again prior to any response being received. The leading position is required for interoperability with older Codan transceivers (firmware earlier than V4.00) and may be required for interoperability with transceivers from other vendors. If you select Auto, the transceiver will determine the best position for the AMD data in the call. It may move the AMD data from the leading part of the call, sending it after a response has been received from the other station. Auto is the recommended setting.ALE BERALE control information is sent and received in blocks of data called ALE words. Each word is sent three times to reduce the effects of fading, interference and noise. When the words are decoded the transceiver records the number of errors that occurred in the transmission.The number of errors indicates the quality of the channel used. A bit error rate of 0 indicates perfect reception. A bit error rate of 48 indicates that all bits of the ALE word were bad.The ALE BER entry enables you to specify the number of errors you will tolerate in this test, which indicates the quality of the channels on which you are prepared to accept calls. Also see page 211, ALE Golay.ALE Call ThresholdWhen the quality of a channel is tested it is given an LQA score. This score is based on the results of local and remote measurements for BER and SINAD and on the call weighting value set in the ALE Call Weighting entry.Generally, a score of 25% indicates the minimum acceptable standard for voice communication. A score of 50% or higher indicates a good channel. The ALE Call Threshold entry enables you to set:• the minimum score a channel must achieve for it to be tried in ALE calls• the minimum acceptable standard for the channel at the time when a link is being establishedNOTE The ALE AMD Position entry is only effective in Auto when the networks used to make the call have their Privacy Mode set to Plain.CAUTION It is recommended that this entry is not altered from the factory setting.NOTE If the ALE LQA Exchange entry is set to Off, remote measurements are not used.NOTEThe transceiver will attempt to make calls on channels for which there is no score, but only after channels with a score above the threshold have been tried.
The Control List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 211ALE Call WeightingWhen the quality of a channel is tested the channel is given an LQA score. The ALE Call Weighting entry enables you to weight the scoring process according to the use of the transceiver. For example, if the transceiver is mainly used to make voice calls you would select Mostly voice. When Lowest acceptable is selected the transceiver will attempt a call on the channel with the lowest frequency (with an LQA score above the set threshold), then attempt the channel with the next higher frequency and LQA score etc, until a link is established. In some situations where propagation distances may be less than a few hundred kilometres, weighting the LQA scores in this way increases their effectiveness.ALE GolayALE control information is sent and received in blocks of data called ALE words. After a word has been received, BER tested and accepted, the transceiver performs a Golay test to check it for errors and correct it if necessary.The number of error bits per word indicates the quality of the channel used to transmit the word. Golay testing can detect and correct up to three error bits per ALE word. It can also detect four error bits but is not guaranteed to correct all four. Note that excessive errors can sometimes create false readings.The ALE Golay entry enables you to specify the number of errors you will tolerate and correct in this test, which indicates the quality of the channels on which you are prepared to accept calls. Also see page 210, ALE BER.ALE Hangup ALL CallDuring an ALL call, a link is established implicitly without the receiving stations responding to the initiating station. When the ALE Hangup ALL Call entry is enabled, the initiating station will send a link termination sequence when SCAN is pressed. All stations that entered the link will hang up the link and return to scanning when they receive this sequence.ALE LQA AverageWhen the transceiver periodically tests the quality of the channels in your network it stores the results for future use. The transceiver uses an averaging method to reduce the effect that the new reading may have on the current channel values.CAUTION It is recommended that this entry is not altered from the factory setting.
The Control List212 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualThe ALE LQA Average entry enables you to select the averaging method used. If you want to:• disable the averaging feature and replace the old results with the new results, select New• retain 75% of the old results and 25% of the new, select Mainly old• retain 87.5% of the old results and 12.5% of the new, select Old• replace the old results with the average of the old and new results, select BothALE LQA ClearUse the ALE LQA Clear entry to clear the LQA information in the transceiver. If a large amount of information is stored this may take a few minutes. If a significant change has occurred to the transceiver, the ALE LQA information will adapt more rapidly to the new environment if the information is cleared.ALE LQA DecayWhen your transceiver periodically records the quality of the channels in your network it stores the results for future use. Several factors can affect the accuracy of these results including:• an insufficient number of ALE sounding transmissions being made in your network• an insufficient number of ALE calls being made (which prevents the transceiver from exchanging channel quality information with other transceivers)• stations moving their location• antenna loading, nearby physical structures and local noise for stations mounted in vehiclesThese factors can lead to the deterioration of good channels going unnoticed. To avoid this, use the ALE LQA Decay entry to artificially decay channel quality information over time. This forces the transceiver to continually work against the artificial decay to maintain an accurate picture of channel quality that does not overestimate actual conditions.For mobile stations the recommended decay period is 1–4 days. For base stations it is 15–30 days.If you do not want to use this feature, select Disabled.CAUTIONLQA information gathered by the initiating station during a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network is not averaged according to the ALE LQA Average entry. This new information replaces any information stored for the channels and stations detected during the call.LQA information gathered by the receiving station during a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network is averaged according to the ALE LQA Average entry for that station.
The Control List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 213ALE LQA ExchangeIf you want the transceiver to send and receive LQA information to and from other stations during calls, set the ALE LQA Exchange entry to On.If the ALE LQA Exchange entry in your transceiver is set to Off it will not request LQA information from other stations. Your transceiver will receive any LQA information sent from the other station.ALE LQA MappingThe ALE LQA Mapping entry determines the method by which the LQA information is stored within the transceiver, that is, according to frequency or channel name.ALE RetriesWhen you make a call in an ALE/CALM network the transceiver attempts to establish an ALE link with the other station on the best available channel. If you want the transceiver to retry each channel before trying the next best channel in the network, set the number of retries you want in the ALE Retries entry. The transceiver can retry channels up to five times. If you do not want the transceiver to retry channels, set the ALE Retries entry to zero.ALE Selective MsgWhen you make a Selective call in an ALE/CALM network you are able to include a message with the call.If you want to be prompted to include a message with a Selective call in an ALE/CALM network, set the ALE Selective Msg entry to Enabled. If you do not need to send messages with Selective calls on ALE/CALM networks, or your transceiver does not contain ALE/CALM networks, set this entry to Disabled.ALE Silent ModeThe ALE Silent Mode entry disables automatic ALE transmissions from the transceiver. When ALE Silent Mode is switched on you can send ALE calls but not receive them, and the transceiver receives sounding signals but does not send them. When ALE Silent Mode is switched off the transceiver operates as a normal ALE station.NOTEWhen the ALE LQA Exchange entry is set to On, it increases the length of time it takes to establish a call by approximately 4 seconds for every 10 channels on which the call is tried.NOTELQA information is always exchanged during a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network, regardless of the setting in the ALE LQA Exchange entry.
The Control List214 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualALE Site MgrThe ALE Site Mgr entry enables the transceiver to collect information on other transceivers with which it communicates. Each time your transceiver detects an unknown station address it requests:• the ESN of the transceiver• any other station self addresses stored in that transceiver• the tuning time of the transceiver’s antennaIt requests this information up to three times, and only 2110 SSB Transceivers in which the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option is installed can respond.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) and to minimise soundings.ALE SoundingsThe ALE Soundings entry enables the transceiver to vary the conclusion that it sends with a sounding.If you want the transceiver to:• send a TWAS conclusion to the sounding, that is, not remain in a state that will accept a link, select Default• send a TIS conclusion to the sounding, that is, pause at the end of the sounding ready to accept a link, select Invite link• switch off all sounding activity regardless of the Sounding Interval setting in the Network List, select DisabledNOTEIf your network consists of only a few 2110 SSB Transceivers with the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed and many other transceivers, you may want to set the ALE Site Mgr entry to Off. Your transceiver will attempt to interrogate the other transceivers in the network each time calls are made.

The Control List224 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualLQA Screen entryThe LQA screen is automatically displayed when you make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network, and is accessed at other times via the LQA Screen entry in the Control List. It enables you to display the most current LQA information for the best channel. If you need to refer to this screen frequently, consider creating a hot key to display it, or making it the home screen (for more information see page 237, Hot keys, page 329, Example 2: displaying an information screen and page 95, Setting the home screen).Figure 45: The LQA Screen entry in the Control ListThe LQA screen contains information on the most recent LQA exchange that has occurred. This may be due to a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network, a sounding, or an ALE call.The LQA score is an overall measure of the quality of the information between the two stations for a particular channel/mode combination. This score is compared with the ALE Call Threshold to determine whether or not the channel is suitable.The local and remote BER/SINAD provide a measure of the effectiveness of data/voice transmission on the channel. The BER may range from 0 (no errors) to 30. The transceiver typically does not use channels with a BER > 12.

2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 227CODAN15 The Keypad ListThe Keypad List stores information about the keys on the front panel and the events that occur when the keys are pressed. The Keypad List contains an entry for each key on the front panel. Each entry stores a list of the macros assigned to the key, and a list of the upper-case, lower-case and numeric characters that you can enter using the key (see Table 24).It also contains two entries that you can use to create and maintain macros. The Special entry contains a number of macros that you cannot create from the front panel but that you can copy and assign to any key. The Unassigned entry is a place where you can store macros for which you have no immediate use. For more information on macros and the Special and Unassigned entries see page 237, Hot keys.NOTE The transceiver is shipped with the Keypad List hidden at admin level. To display the list see page 113, Hiding and showing information.NOTE There are no entries for the CALL,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,   and  keys as you cannot assign macros to these keys.Table 24: Entries in the Keypad List Name of key Macros assigned to keyUpper case Lower case Numeric# Call Logs - Out A a #* Easitalk .  ,  ’  ?  !  &  #  $  *  (  )  -  +  /.  ,  ’  ?  !  &  #  $  *  (  )  -  +  /.0 Channel Screen 0 space 0 space 01QZ Manual Tune QZ1 qz1 12ABC Clarifier ABC2 abc2 23DEF Next Mode DEF3 def3 34GHI Free Rx GHI4 ghi4 45JKL JKL5 jkl5 56MNO Tx Pwr MNO6 mno6 67PRS Mute Type PRS7 prs7 78TUV Secure TUV8 tuv8 89WXY GPS WXY9 wxy9 9Emergency Call EmergencyF1 MuteF2 Call KeyF3 Scan Toggle

Hot keys238 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout hot keysIf you want to automate some of the tasks you perform with the transceiver you can create hot keys on the front panel to perform the tasks for you. For example, if you frequently call a particular station using an entry in the Address List you can create a hot key to select the Address List from the Main Menu, search for the entry, then make the call. Performing these tasks is then as simple as pressing the hot key.Hot keys can be created to perform any task or series of tasks that involve using a list. These include:• opening a list at a particular entry• displaying the time screen in the Control List• calling a specific station• changing a settingTable 5 on page 30 lists the standard hot keys on the front panel.Creating a hot key is a simple process. The transceiver prompts you for information about the way you want the hot key to operate and puts this information into a macro. It then prompts you to press the key to which you want to assign the macro (that is, the key you want to be the hot key for the task) and enter a name for the macro. Using the hot key is as simple as pressing the key.Full-time and part-time hot keysAny key can be used as a hot key except the CALL, , ,  ,  ,  ,   and  key. If you want to be able to use a hot key at any time, regardless of any task you may be performing, use the MUTE, SCAN,  , or  keys on the front panel. These keys can be used as full-time hot keys.The remaining keys on the front panel, that is, 0–9, * and #, can be used as part-time hot keys. They operate as hot keys at any time except when you are entering or editing text. In this situation they are used to enter characters and cannot be used as hot keys.Table 27: Full-time and part-time hot keysFull-time hot keys Part-time hot keys Keys that cannot be used as hot keysMUTE SCAN CALLPTT button on handset1QZTUNE2ABCCLAR MODEDEF3RxFREE4GHI5JKL TxPWR67PRS8TUVSECGPS9EASITALKVIEW0CALLLOGS
Hot keys2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 239Assigning several macros to one keySeveral macros can be assigned to one key. When you use a hot key to which several macros have been assigned, the list of macros is displayed so you can select the one you want, as shown in Figure 46.Figure 46: Using a hot key to which several macros have been assignedThe order in which the macros are listed can be changed. When you assign a macro to a key you are prompted to select the position in the list in which you want to insert the new macro. You can also change the order after you have assigned the macro to a key by copying or moving the macro to and from the same or a different key. For more information see page 244, Copying a macro and page 245, Moving a macro.Automating several tasks with one macroMacros can be created to perform two or more tasks in succession. For example, you can create a macro that selects a particular channel then makes a call, or that displays your GPS position then sends that position to a particular station.You can create a macro that performs several tasks by either joining two macros or adding to a macro. For more information see page 247, Joining macros and page 248, Adding to a macro.Troubleshooting macrosIf you need to troubleshoot your macros, the Macro Single Step entry in the Control List may help you. When this entry is switched on and you run a macro, each individual step in the macro is displayed on the screen. The length of time each step is displayed can be set using the Macro Pause entry in the Control List.
Hot keys240 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualStoring macrosMacros are physically stored in the Keypad List. The Keypad List contains an entry for each key on the front panel. When a macro is assigned to a key it is stored in the Macro setting for the key. If you do not want to assign a macro to a key (because, for example, you have no immediate use for it and do not want to delete it) you can assign or move it to the Unassigned entry in the Keypad List for future use. You can do this by pressing  when prompted to assign a macro to a key.Ideas for creating macrosBefore you create a macro you may want to read the examples provided on page 327, Hot key examples for ideas about the types of tasks you can automate and the options available to you.

Operating the transceiver from a computer252 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout CICSCICS is a set of commands that the transceiver understands. The commands are suitable for use from a computer. You can operate your transceiver with CICS instead of the front panel. To use CICS you must connect your transceiver to a PC or personal organiser via the RS232 serial port (see page 258, Setting up CICS).2110 SSB Transceivers operate with CICS V3.20 (or later).CICS V3.20 includes the amd, alebeacon, beacon, lbt, link, lqa and sound commands, which enable the 2110 SSB Transceiver to operate with a third party messaging protocol, provide AMD messaging, LBT, and beacon capabilities through CICS (if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is installed). The amd command enables you to send messages within an established ALE link. The LBT range of commands enables you to start the LBT process and override the global Cfg LBT Mode setting in the Control List of the transceiver during specific calls. The alebeacon command enables you to start a processes that gathers LQA information within the ALE/CALM network applicable to the addresses provided with the call.Using CICSEntering commandsWhen you enter CICS commands you can enter up to 255 characters. Commands are processed when they are ended with an ASCII carriage return character. ASCII line feed characters are ignored. When echoing is on, a received carriage return character is echoed as the ASCII carriage return/line feed sequence (see page 266, echo command).Structuring commandsCommands can include variables that are user-defined, for example, gpsbeacon <destination>[@<network>], where destination is the address of the station that you want to call. Each command and variable is separated by a space character. Variables inside single or double quotes are treated as a single variable. Space characters inside quoted text are treated as part of the text. Any user-defined variables that include a space character, such as a channel or network name, must have double quotes enclosing the variable.If you are using multiple ALL, ANY or Wildcard address syntaxes, or Group Selective addresses with a CICS command, you must enter the addresses within quotes, for example, alecall ‘TOM,DICK,HARRY@PRIMEAST’.
Operating the transceiver from a computer2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 253Command line control commandsThe Backspace key is used for basic editing in CICS. The use of other editing keys requires a VT100 terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal in Windows. All other characters are echoed as they are.Table 30 lists the keys that can be used to edit commands in CICS.Special charactersAn equal sign (=) or a question mark (?) can be used to initiate an action, or request information (see page 430, Using ‘=’ and ‘?’).Command promptCICS V3.20 (or later) has an optional prompt to enter commands, that is, >, which indicates commands can be entered (see page 275, prompt command).Table 30: Editing keys used in CICSKeys ActionDelete  Deletes the character above the cursor.Backspace  Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.Ctrl+A  Moves to the start of the line.Ctrl+C  Aborts the current command.Ctrl+E  Moves to the end of the line.Ctrl+K  Deletes from the cursor to the end of the text.Ctrl+R  Refreshes the input line.Ctrl+U  Deletes the entire line of text entered.

An address in an ALE/CALM network must be upper-case letters or numbers, @ and ?. An address in a Codan Selcall network must be numbers.If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use special ALE address syntaxes to send ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard calls through any of the existing call commands in CICS (alecall, aletelcall, call, gpsposition, pagecall, selcall). For more information see page 159, ALL address syntax, page 160, ANY address syntax, page 161, Group Selective address syntax, page 162, NET address syntax, and page 163, Wildcard address syntax.NOTE You cannot use the ALL, ANY, or Wildcard address syntax in the alebeacon and beacon commands.NOTEThe use of the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax in the gpsbeacon and statuscall commands will not be effective due to collisions of responses.If you enter the ALE address syntax...The transceiver will send...@?@ a global ALL call to all listening stations (see page 159, ALL address syntax)@A@ a selective ALL call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, TNAA, EANBA, 1NCA, 23A (see page 159, ALL address syntax)@@? a global ANY call to all listening stations (see page 160, ANY address syntax)@@A a selective ANY call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, TNAA, EANBA, 1NCA, 23A (see page 160, ANY address syntax)@AB a double selective ANY call to listening stations that have ‘AB’ as the last two characters of their self address (‘A’ and ‘B’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, BAAB, 14BAB, Q2CAB, 1AB (see page 160, ANY address syntax)
Operating the transceiver from a computer2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 255If you are using multiple ANY, NET, or Wildcard addresses, or Group Selective addresses with a CICS command, you must enter the addresses within quotes.With Group Selective addresses, the length of the combined address can be no longer than 12 ALE words, excluding commas. An ALE word has 3 characters. There can be no more than five different first ALE words in the combined address. For example:An address of ‘BOB1,BOB2,BOB3,BOB4,TIM,JOHN,MIK,SUE’ has five different first ALE words, that is, BOB, TIM, JOH, MIK and SUE. However, this address will be rejected because it has a total of 13 ALE words, that is, BOB, 1, BOB, 2, BOB, 3, BOB, 4, TIM, JOH, N, MIK and SUE.@A? a double selective wildcard ANY call to listening stations that have an ‘A’ as the second to last character of their self address (‘A’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number) and any upper-case letter or number as the last character, for example, USAM, 19MA0, ENA9, 3DAZ (see page 160, ANY address syntax)ABC,JK3MN,PQR (example only)a Group Selective call to the stations specifically addressed (see page 161, Group Selective address syntax)NET address a NET call to all stations with that NET programmed in the NET List (see page 162, NET address syntax)??? a Wildcard call to listening stations that have a self address matching the length of the sent address and with any upper-case letter or number as each of the characters, for example, SAM, NAA, 234, 3AZ (see page 163, Wildcard address syntax)A?B? (example only) a selective Wildcard call to listening stations that have a self address matching the length of the sent address with ‘A’ and ‘B’ as the first and third characters respectively, and with any upper-case letter or number in the second and last characters, in this case (‘A’ and ‘B’ may be any specified upper-case letter or number), for example, A2BM, ADB1, AZBE, A3B8 (see page 163, Wildcard address syntax)If you enter the ALE address syntax...The transceiver will send...

Recognised variable expansionThe variables listed in Table 31 may be added in a message with any command. These variables are recognised by CICS V3.20 (or later) when they are enclosed in double quotes. CICS expands the variable by inserting the current information associated with the variable into the message with the command.To enable LQA for a call Type +lqa To disable LQA for a call Type –lqa To enable LBT for a call Type +lbt To disable LBT for a call Type –lbt To make a call using the current channel onlyType thischan Table 31: Variable expansion in a commandKeyword Function when used in a call or beacon command$DATE Inserts the current date in the following format: <name of day> <month> <day> <year>$GPS Inserts the current valid GPS position in the following format: <latitude> <longitude> <altitude> <UTC>$TIME Inserts the current time in the following format: <hh>:<mm>:<ss>$TZ Inserts the time zone offset in the following format: <time zone offset>$VER Inserts the current version of the transceiver unit firmware in the following format: <version number>
Operating the transceiver from a computer2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 257A typical use for the variable expansion feature is as follows:Sending and receiving callsWhen you make calls using CICS commands, you do not need to use the hangup command when you are making successive calls or using the chan or scan commands. For example, after sending a Get Position call, CICS enables you to change the channel then send another Get Position call without using the hangup command to close the existing link.Responses and outputsCICS is an interface from which random outputs will occur, for example, when calls are received. Additionally, depending on the configuration of the equipment, the order of responses to commands may change. Software operating on this interface must be able to adapt to these irregularities to enable correct system behaviour under all conditions. It is recommended that echo is switched off to avoid intermixing of the commands you enter with the responses from the system (see page 266, echo command).Message length in a Message callThe permitted message length when making a Message call depends on the type of call system, the Privacy Mode selected, and the character set (see page 274, pagecall command).Error reporting in a received AMD messageIf you receive a call containing a message in which an error has been detected, the corrupted part of the message will be replaced with tilde characters (~).Command typed at initiating stationInformation displayed at receiving stationalecall BH "My position is $GPS on $DATE at $TIME" ALE-LINK:       'Ch 27980',     M2,     BH, 05/02 02:13, "MY POSITION IS 8958.04N 13841.23E +0.0M 101622 (A) ON THU FEB 05 2004 AT 02:18:16 " alecall B? +lqa "My position is $GPS" LQA: 'Ch 27980', M2, 0/29, -/-, 100%ALE-LINK:       'Ch 27980',     M2,     B?, 05/02 02:23, "MY POSITION IS 8958.04N 13841.23E +0.0M 101622 (A)" CAUTIONIf a response is not received to a Get Status, Get Position, or Message call (for example, a page call ack to a Message call) you must use the hangup, chan, scan or call command to receive subsequent calls. Control software using these commands must take this into account.
Operating the transceiver from a computer258 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSetting up CICSConnecting a computer to a transceiverTo connect a computer to a transceiver:1Use a serial port (for example, COM1) on the computer to connect to the 19-way GPIO connector on the front panel using cable 08-06237-001.Setting up a transceiver for CICSTo set up a transceiver to be used with CICS: 1Make sure that the Control List settings for the serial port you are using have been set correctly. Check that:• the RS232 Mode entry is set to CICS• the RS232 Speed entry is set to the baud rate of the computer, for example, 19200 baudSetting up a computer for CICSTo set up a computer for use with CICS: 1Start a terminal emulation program, for example, HyperTerminal in Windows.1Check the settings in the terminal emulation program. Make sure that you:• select the serial port on the computer that has been connected to the transceiver• select the baud rate that corresponds to the baud rate set in the Control List of the transceiver• set data bits to 8• set parity to none• set stop bits to 1CAUTION If you change the settings in these entries you must switch your transceiver off then on again for the changes to take effect.

The name is case sensitive.echo commandUse the echo command to control the local behaviour of the CICS serial interface. Use it to:• display the current echo state• switch the echo state on and offThe default setting is that echo is on. With echo on, any character that is typed is echoed (mirrored) back to the screen. This corresponds to the use of Full Duplex Mode in terminal settings. If you have an automated system, the recommended setting for the system is echo off, which corresponds to Half Duplex Mode. This avoids intermixing echoes of the commands you enter and the responses from the system.Syntaxecho echo on echo off where:echo displays the current echo state of the interface.on enables echoing of characters entered.off disables echoing of characters entered.NOTEIf you want to use the command to change to another channel, make sure that the channel has been programmed into the transceiver’s Channel List (see page 119, Programming the Channel List).

The changes are lost when the transceiver is switched off.
Operating the transceiver from a computer2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 281Syntaxselfid selfid <self address>[, <self address>] where:selfid displays your current list of self addresses used by the CICS interface.<self address> sets the self addresses for the CICS interface to the one or more addresses specified on the command line. The addresses can be simple or fully qualified, for example, 12359 or 12359@*SELCALL, RICKY or RICKY@PRIMWEST. If no network is specified, the self address applies to all networks.LimitationsThe only calls displayed are those addressed to the list of self addresses used by the CICS interface. When the 2110 SSB Transceiver is switched on, all self addresses assigned to networks are added to the list of self addresses for CICS by default. When a self address is added through CICS, these default addresses are removed from the list and the new one is added.If the Address entry in the Control List of the transceiver contains wildcard self addresses, for example, 12.., these are only used by CICS in RTU–282/292 mode.set commandUse the set command to:• display the current option(s) available• change the setting of the GP input to lock or pauseWhen the GP port Q line input is asserted, scanning on the transceiver is stopped via a lock or a pause, as specified in this command.

It will occur in all ALE/CALM networks that have a valid self address and are set to be scanned. ALE sounding operations will not occur if the transceiver is in a link with another transceiver.Syntaxsound sound on sound off sound now [from <self address>[@<network>]] where:sound displays the current status of ALE sounding operations.on enables automatic ALE sounding to occur in networks that have a sounding interval set (see page 128, Programming the Network List).off disables automatic ALE sounding operations from the command interface.now initiates an ALE sounding operation in all ALE/CALM networks that have a valid self address and are set to be scanned.from <self address>[@<network>] initiates an ALE sounding operation on the specified self address in all ALE/CALM networks that are set to be scanned and for which this self address is valid.NOTE The sound command will only have an effect in transceivers that have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.NOTEFor more information on:• address syntaxes see page 254, Addresses in commands• call options see page 256, ALE call options• recognised variables see page 256, Recognised variable expansion
Operating the transceiver from a computer284 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manualstatusack commandUse the statusack command to send a reply to a Get Status call you have received. A status call acknowledgment response contains the status information requested. It is sent automatically if a status call requesting remote diagnostics (1) was sent (see page 284, statuscall command). The statusack command must be sent within the statustime specified by the station that sent the call (see page 285, statustime command).Syntaxstatusack <destination>[@<network>] "<message>" where:<destination>[@<network>] is the address [and network] of the station that requested the status information.<message> is the status information requested by the station that sent the status call. The message is sent within single or double quotes to allow the use of spaces in the message.statuscall commandUse the statuscall command to obtain information on the status of a transceiver or attached equipment at another station. A status call is typically used to request information about a remote transceiver.When you request status information, you need to specify the type of information you require. To request diagnostic information enter ‘1’ as the message.The receiving station will automatically send the status information requested. The receiving station is required to respond to a status call within the timeout period (see page 285, statustime command). If a response to a status call is not sent within the timeout period an error message is displayed. Syntaxstatuscall <destination>[@<network>] "<message>" [from <self address>[@<network>]] NOTE For a description of each type of status information see page 335, Get Status calls specific to the model of your 2110 SSB Transceiver.NOTEThe use of the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax in the statuscall command will not be effective due to collisions of responses.NOTEFor more information on:• address syntaxes see page 254, Addresses in commands• call options see page 256, ALE call options• recognised variables see page 256, Recognised variable expansion

System messages318 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualPTT rejectedfrom <location of PTT: reason>The transceiver could not transmit from a specific location for the reason stated. The possible locations are the handset, morse key, and CICS on the 19-way port.The possible reasons are that:• you are on a receive-only channel• the mode is not allowed for this channel• you are in the CB frequency range but are not on a specific CB channel• you are using a transceiver in which the channel programming option and the position of the TPE link does not permit transmission• the system is locked• the transceiver is scanning• the battery is low• the synthesiser is unlocked• the transceiver is tuning• the maximum transmission time set in the Cfg PTT Cutout Time entry in the Control List was exceededRead only entryRead only listRead only settingYou have attempted to edit a locked list, entry or setting. The item was locked at a higher access level than that into which you are logged. You cannot unlock it unless you log into that higher level.For example, if an entry was locked at admin level and you have logged in as a user, you must log in as an administrator before you can unlock the entry.Receive-onlychannelYou have attempted to transmit on a receive-only channel. Select a channel on which you can transmit.Reply: <caller address> <message>You have received a response to a call from another station that includes a message.Request sent... Your request that information (such as a GPS position) be automatically sent to you from another station has been sent. Wait for the next message.Response from:<list of NET members who responded, latest response first>You have made a NET call and received a slotted response from the NET members listed.Secure error:hardware faultSwitch the transceiver off, check that the cables are connected correctly, then switch the transceiver on. If the problem persists, contact your Codan representative.Secure error:index key not setYou have selected a key that has not been set up in the secure index.Table 42: System messages (cont.)Message Description

Press SEC to go secure.Service optionenabledThe service option in the transceiver is enabled. Contact your Codan representative to have this option disabled.Settingshidden in <name of entry>You have attempted to display the settings for an entry where all the settings have been hidden at user level.To display the settings, use the Full view? entry in the List Manager. To display the settings in normal view, use the Show? entry in the List Manager.Skip messageOnly ALE/CALM allows message with Selective callsThe ALE Selective Msg entry in the Control List is enabled. You have entered a message at the  prompt in a Selective call and attempted to make the call on a network that is not ALE/CALM. The Selective call will proceed without the message. If you want to send the message, select an ALE/CALM network when prompted.SoundingcompletedThe sounding operation that you initiated from the front panel is now complete.Status rcvd:<Get Status information>The transceiver has received the Get Status information from the station you called.Synthesiserlock errorThe frequency synthesiser has not locked on a frequency. Contact your Codan representative.Synthesiserlock recoveredThe frequency synthesiser can now lock on a frequency.System error<error number>A system error has occurred. The transceiver will restart automatically. Retry the task you were performing when the error occurred. If the problem persists, note the system error number in the message, then contact your Codan representative.Tcvr busy:retry in 10 secondsThe transceiver is busy. This may be because:• it is receiving an incoming call• it is processing a change made to your station self addressWait for 10 seconds then try the task again.Text too long You have entered a line of text that is too long. Reduce the length of the text.Table 42: System messages (cont.)Message Description
System messages320 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualToo many chansfor auto ALE callThe ALE/CALM network in which you are attempting to make a call contains more than 100 channels. The transceiver will attempt to make the call on a maximum of 100 channels. To avoid this message and to ensure the transceiver uses all the channels in the network, go to the Network List and reduce the number of channels in the network to 100 or less.Too many chansto scanMore than 100 channels have been set to be scanned. The transceiver will only scan 100 of them.In the Network List:• remove some channels from the channel/mode list of one or more of the networks that are set to be scanned• reduce the number of networks that are set to be scanned by changing the value of the Scan Network setting in one or more networks to Don’t scanTune aborted Automatic tuning of the antenna was aborted because you pressed PTT during an automatic tuning cycle.Tune antennathen retry callYour call cannot be made until the antenna is tuned. Tune the antenna then try the call again.Tune failed The transceiver could not automatically tune the antenna.Tune successful The transceiver has tuned the antenna successfully.Tuner timeout Automatic tuning of the antenna has timed out because:• the transceiver could not tune the antenna within the specified timeout period• the tuner cable is not connected• the Cfg Auto Tune Mode is set incorrectlyTuning... The transceiver is automatically tuning the antenna.Waiting forresponseYou have requested that information (such as a GPS position) be automatically sent to you from another station. The transceiver is waiting for a response from that station. Wait for the next message.Table 42: System messages (cont.)Message Description
