The message fields are separated with blanks.
For example, sending an SMS to the repeater with the text

will acknowledge alarm number 00023 from repeater 01-42-4711.
4.4.4 Alarm Format
Each alarm transmitted from the repeater contains a number of fields, in detail describing the event that
caused the alarm. The alarm is transmitted as an ASCII text string, each field separated by a blank/white
space.
Using the Axell Element Manager to control the repeater, the alarm string is delivered to the transceiver for
further processing in the AEM system.
When SMS is used to control the repeater, the string is sent as clear text to the alarm address (main address).
Note! The SMS functionality is not implemented in repeaters with this SW release.
