Gateway Messaging Software Manual
Setting message size and maximum messages (continued):
Determining the number of messages available to use (Continued):
NOTE: You cannot use any message number greater than the maximum number of messages as
calculated above, even though you can access them in the Gateway Messaging Software. Doing so
either will cause erratic and incorrect results on the sign, or those messages will not show on the
sign.
NOTE: The table below shows the usage of the set of Gateway Messaging Software messages. It indicates
that, while the total number of system messages is 4100, you can only use those in the 0 to 4000
range plus the background message (4095.) Message 4095 is reserved for the background message,
regardless of the maximum number of messages. (See “Example 8 — Setting the background
message” on page 28 for use of the background message.)
