The message format breaks down as follows:
•STX
•SA
•UA
•EI
•FTC
•MSC
•FC
•ETX
Feature Codes range in value from 00 to FF (hex). These codes define the “Major
Category Codes” for service features.
Codes from 80 to FF are used as “Violation Codes”. When a specific message received from the PMS cannot be processed for some reason, 80 (hex) is added to the received Feature Code so that it will be handled as a Violation Code. If the NEAX regards a text as a Violation Code, the system data of the NEAX may be assigned so that a text of this type is returned to the PMS. Therefore, when the PMS has received a Violation Code, provisions should be made for the PMS to print out this violation.
A Violation Code message will be sent to the PMS in the following cases:
•When the message counter does not match the number of characters received.
•When a station number not existing in the NEAX is specified in the message data from the PMS.
•Upon receipt of an invalid Wake Up time (e.g. 25:00).
