Sds Messages Concatenation - Motorola MTP850 S Product Information Manual

• Store – used to save the message as a template.

• Reply – used to send a reply to the message originator with the option to edit the text (where available).

The radio provides an edit facility for composing and editing a text message. The message can be sent to a target
TETRA radio using SSI addressing, and is sent with a request for a received delivery report.
All the outgoing text messages (short or long) 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). Depending on radio settings, for each Outbox message the following options
are available.
• Store – used to save the message as a template.
• Delete – used to remove the message from the list.
• Delete All – used to remove all the messages from the list.
• Resend – used to send the message again to the same recipients with the option to edit the text.
• Forward – used to send the message to the other recipient with the option to edit the text.
• Refresh – used to reorder the messages list and see the newest at the top.
• Delivery Status – used to check the time and the date when a message was sent, delivered, read, expired, or not
delivered. Every status change is communicated.
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 100 short messages or at least 20 full
size long messages. If Outbox is empty, Inbox may store up to 100 short messages or at least 10 full size long
messages. When you enter Messages submenu, 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.
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 or edited (outgoing) text messages. These messages can be edited and sent.
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.

SDS Messages Concatenation

This feature allows sending long text messages up to 1000 characters. All the 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.
