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

MNT MultiNet: enable/disable the scanning of multiple ALE nets. When enabled, this feature lets the radio communicate with stations in nets other than the currently selected net.

MxCH Maximum Scan Channels: when MultiNet is enabled, the time needed for scanning all the nets may be rather long. This parameter is used to adapt the duration of the calling signal to the number of scanned net, to ensure that communications are not disrupted.

You can use automatic selection, or select a specific value in the range of 0 to 59 seconds.

ANY AnyCall: enable/disable the sending of AnyCalls.

WILD Wildcard: enable/disable the sending wildcard calls.

AMD Automatic Message Display: enable/disable the sending of AMD messages.

ILNK

BDLK

Inlink: enable/disable the inlink facility, which enables notifying other call participants when each participant disconnects from the link. All participants must be programmed to use the same selection (either YES or NO).

Do not enable the inlink function when communicating with a radio that does not support the full ALE capabilities in accordance with MIL-STD-188-141B.

Bidirectional link: enable/disable the automatic setting up of a link on the best channel after a bidirectional handshake with an individual station.

The ALE options have the following factory-default values:

PTT Timeout

No timeout

Alert
