The Message Alias Page

(Trunking System)

The Message Alias Page allows you to view or define Message functionality for individual Trunking Systems. Radio-users are then able to select and transmit these Messages. Messages can be sent from a dispatcher unit to a portable or mobile unit, or from a portable or mobile unit to a dispatcher unit. However, a Message may not be sent from a portable or mobile unit to a portable or mobile unit.

	A Message transmission makes more efficient use of a channel as compared to a voice transmission.
	Messages are only applicable to display models.

	This feature applies only when the Trunking Personality that references this Trunking System has its Message Enable field enabled.
	Each Message Alias must be set up identically (or with the same meaning) for the dispatcher and the portable or mobile units. That is, the Message 1 Alias from the dispatching unit must be identical (or have the same meaning) as the Message 1 Alias for the portable or mobile unit.

When Message Alias Enable field is enabled, and

when the System Type field is set to "Type II", and

when the radio is model / option capable.
