STATUS MESSAGE OPERATION
When programmed for a "status" keypad in-
stead of a "numeric" keypad, the M-PA can send
data MESSAGEs or change the "polled" operator
STATUS with a single keystroke. To change the
polled STATUS simply press the digit correspond-
ing to the desired STATUS. The name pro-
grammed into the personality for that particular
STATUS will be transmitted. This new STATUS will
be re-transmitted every time the M-PA is polled.
To send a MESSAGE, press the "*" key followed
by the digit corresponding to the desired MES-
SAGE. The name programmed into the person-
ality for that particular MESSAGE will appear on
the display for approximately 3 seconds after

STATUS and MESSAGE information can be
logged using an RSM (Remote Status Monitor)
terminal.
