NOTES
• The ESC key is used to cancel a change you have made, if not yet
confirmed. If you have already saved changes, the ESC key will
only return to a previous screen of the ALE Programming menu.
• When you end ALE programming, you must store the parameters
you defined.
• If you press the MENU key to exit the programming mode without
first saving your changes, you will be prompted to store the ALE
configuration changes. Press YES to store the configuration. If you
press NO, the configuration will revert to the previous
configuration, and any changes made in the current ALE
programming session will be ignored.
4-4.1 Programming Nets
When programming a net, you can set the net names, define the net members, add channels, configure
various options, copy parameters from a defined net or erase an entire net.
4-4.1.1 Overview of Net Programming
The net programming mode enables you to view and edit the configuration of each net. The
configuration includes the following menus:
•
••
• NAME
Edit the net name and the self-address:
• NET: Define or edit the net names.
It is not allowed to use a name already used as a self-address, nor an address
already appearing in the address directory.
• SELF: Define or edit your self address (the identification of your station, to be
used by other stations within the same net).
It is not allowed to use a name already used as a net address, nor an address
already appearing in the address directory.
A net name or self address can contain up to 15 characters. Valid characters are the
letters A to Z and the numerals 0 to 9.
•
••
• MEMB
Add or erase members (station addresses) from the list of net members. This list
defines which stations can participate in a net call (a net can have up to 16
addresses).
The MEMB menu also enables you to sort the list of members: this determines the
order in which members respond to a net call. You can arrange the order of the list
of members manually, or instruct the radio to arrange them in alphanumeric order.
A member name can contain up to 15 characters. Valid characters are the letters
A to Z and the numerals 0 to 9. It is not allowed to define a name already used as a
net address, nor an address already appearing in the address directory. New member
names will automatically be added to the directory list (unless the directory is full).
