Enabling priority messaging options
You can enable options for handling special priority messages. These priority messages
may be classified as urgent or emergency, and differ from normal messages by the
inclusion of ! or !! respectively at the beginning of the message. A configuration
command for enabling these options begins with #$! PM-. Follow this command with
the codes you want to use from Table 82. Separate the commands with a comma.
For example, if you want to disable the alarm on normal messages, but want an urgent
message (prefixed ! or !!) to raise an alert tone, enter the following into the Message 10
entry:
#$! PM-U
NOTE
These priority messaging options are available from firmware V4.91 or
later.
