Interpretation and Corrective Action

 

 

The message is also printed the very 1st time that a valid

 

 

message is received.

 

 

 

Typically the message preceding this one provides the

message being printed. The message is printed a small

 

 

number of times and is suppressed for subsequent similar

 

 

errors.

 

 

 

This message will typically be printed when the

 

 

terminating characters of a message are not received and a

 

 

new message is received from the panel.

 

NATS:#28 Err. Parse: Msg too

If the message is printed rarely, you could treat the source

 

long. Ignored. Len=%d

as an occasional corrupt message. Reset the configuration

 

 

error light by clearing the error log using the <R>eset key.

 

 

If the message is printed frequently or can be produced

 

 

systematically take a log and call Tech Support.

 

 

The address/port contained in a message is used to

 

 

determine the offset into a Data Array when data is stored.

 

 

This message is printed when the required storage offset
