Incoming messages are stored in the
Inbox
, the following options are available:
Incoming text messages are stored in the
Inbox
whereas outgoing text messages are stored in
Outbox
, when the store and forward mechanism is not in place. When the store and forward feature
is enabled and the messages go through the store and forward server, the short messages are stored
regardless the delivery status. Whereas, long messages are stored only if delivered (even if only to the
store and forward server).
NOTE:
Message protection functionality is enabled in the
Inbox
and
Call Out Inbox
folders. Users can
only delete unprotected messages.
Delivery report is saved in the
Inbox
and in the associated message in
Outbox
. However, the report is
deleted from the
Inbox
after viewing it.
Outbox
and
Inbox
share memory area, hence their capacity depends on the combination of stored
short and long messages in each of these folders. If
Inbox
is empty,
Outbox
may store up to 25 short
messages or at least 3 full-size long messages. If
Outbox
is empty,
Inbox
may store up to 25 short
messages or at least 3 full-size long messages. When you enter the
Messages
sub-menu, the number
on the right side of
Inbox
and
Outbox
is indicating the number of the messages stored. If the
Outbox
is empty, then the radio displays
No Messages
notification.
2.7.2.1
Buffer Full Overwrite Policy
Upon receiving a text message, the radio places the text into a circular buffer. You are notified when
a new text message is received and a quick access to read the message is provided. If a delivery
report is requested, the radio sends it upon receipt of the message by SDSTL. If a consumed report is
requested, the radio sends it when you read the message.
NOTE:
If you read the message when the radio is out of service, the report may not be sent.
You can save incoming text messages. These messages can be sent.You can also protect the
message from being deleted or from the overwriting policy of the radio.
For each message, you can verify its timestamp. The timestamp displayed is extracted from the SDS
TL PDU. The timestamp is generated and inserted to the message by the SwMI.
2.7.2.2
SDS Messages Concatenation
This feature allows sending long text messages up to 1000 characters. Messages that are longer than
140 characters are divided and sent separately one after another. When a recipient receives all the
parts of the message, it displays as one on the screen.
When the radio receives an SDS message and the
Inbox
/
Outbox
is full, the radio acts according to
the
Buffer Full, Overwrite Policy
codeplug field settings.
When the text or status message is received and accepted, the radio retrieves actual time information
from its internal clock.
The radio can reconstruct a long text message consisting of up to ten short messages. The maximum
length of the message is 141-1000, what can be defined in the codeplug. The radio recombines the
text segments independently of the order they have been received to the correct order of the original
message. The message can be combined only if all their message reference number are correct and
the segmented receiver timer is still valid.
You can send long text messages to an individual destination. However, sending long text messages
to groups is not possible:
