Page 63 MRC-565 Packet Data Radio Operations & Maintenance
The MRC-565 then generates an ACK of the message packet and transmits the ACK to the
neighbor from whom the message was received:
hh:mm:ss TXTMSG ACK name:sss, nnnn CHARS FROM name
When the destination MRC-565 receives a complete message, it displays the following message:
hh:mm:ss MSG RECEIVED name:sss, xxxx CHARS
text………………………………
**end-of-message**
where “name:sss” is the message serial number.
Messages are deleted as they are displayed or printed unless they are being forwarded to further
destinations.
5.4.7 Examining Message Status
The status of all messages may be examined while they are still in the Tx Queue. (Note: once
an end-to-end acknowledgement is received for a message it is deleted from the queue).
To examine a message, enter:
SMS {,ID}
5.4.8 Examining and Revising Message Queues
There are two types of queues for transmitting and receiving messages:
QUEUE NAME
DESCRIPTION
TXQ
(Transmit
Queue)
This queue is used for transmitting all messages. There is a separate transmit
queue for each neighboring station in the network. For example, if you enter
a message for DEST1 That message is placed in DEST1’s transmit queue.
RXQ
(Receive
Queue)
This queue is used for all received messages. There is a separate receive
queue for each neighboring station in the network. For example, to examine
message statistics from NODE5, examine the receive queue from NODE5.
To examine the contents of either queue, type:
SHOW TXQ,ID or SHOW RXQ,ID
You must specify the queue by entering the station ID. For example, SHOW TXQ,006 prints
statistics for all messages being transmitted to station 006.
You can only examine the receive and transmit queues for neighbor stations in the network.
