•
••
• CHAN
Add or remove channels to the list of scanned channels in a net, and to define the
channel on which AllCalls are to be transmitted (the AllCall channel (ALLC)).
NOTES
• Each net can contain up to 100 scanned channels.
• All nets combined can contain up to 100 scanned channels. If you
exceed this number, the message OVER 100 CH is displayed for
one second, and then the display returns to the previous menu.
• If you enter a channel which is not programmed, a NOT PROG
message is displayed for a second, and the display returns to the
previous menu.
•
••
• OPT
Configure net options, including: sounding, silent net, LQA request, scan rate, home
acknowledgment, monitor acknowledgment, occupancy detection, master/slave
definitions, AllCall options and tune time.
•
••
• GET
Copy all parameters from one net to another. This function is useful if you are
defining a new net and wish to base most of its parameters on an existing net, for
instance if you need to use different frequencies/channels for day and night
communication, but all other net information (such as stations and names) is
identical.
•
••
• ERAS
Erase an entire net from the ALE data base.
After preparing a set of parameters, your entries are checked and any errors are reported. If you do not
correct the detected errors, Micom-Z will offer to discard the new set of parameters.
4-4.1.2 Default Values
Unless you define different values, each net uses the following factory-defaults:
• Net Name
No default defined
• Self Address
No default defined
• AllCall
Send and receive enabled
• AllCall Channel
No default defined
• Tune Time
No tune time
• Silent
No
• Home Acknowledgment
Yes
• Monitor Acknowledgment
No
• Master/Slave
Master
• LQA Request
Yes
• Sounding
Manual
• Occupancy Check
No
• Scanned Channels
No default defined.
When programming a new net or other ALE parameters, you do not need to define all parameters:
change only those for which the default values are not suitable.
