11.1 Description of Different Types of MSF Messages
It is possible to send MSF messages from handset to handset, from handset to server and
from server to handset. Each text message can consist of up to 72 characters. A handset
can receive a text message whether it is on or off hook. Reception of a text message is
signalled by a beep tone.
With messaging it is possible to send two different types of mesages:
• On Way Text
A message which does not require an answer from the recipient. Examples of One
Way Texts include reminders, updates and basic notifications such as “Remember the
meeting at 3 PM”.
One Way Text is also called Fire and Forget.
Confirmation of messages having been sent and received is available in the system as
an acknowledgement of each message having reached the handset display.
• Two Way Text
A message which the recipient can answer by returning relevant keypad information
to the sender. An example of Two Way Text could be sending the following message
to a numbers of users; “Who will attend the meeting at 3 PM”?. Each recipient
answers the message using the keypad and the Administration Page can then send
message updates and, if needed, include a call back number in the message.
Adding a call back number makes it possible for the recipient to call the number
automatically simply by pressing the off hook bottom. When a call back number is
included, the message can consist of a maximum of 36 characters.
Two Ways Text is also called “Text call”.
