“Current State: SENDING” appears at the bottom of the screen dur-
ing transmission.
If the message was transmitted successfully “Successful Sending mes-
sage” appears and its particulars are sent to the Display Log.
TRANSMIT MESSAGE STATUS
The terminal unit displays transmit message status as follows:
“Message Send failed.” This appears if the message could not
be transmitted because of technical reasons such as satellite
malfunction, signal degradation, or no reply from LES. Try to
transmit the message again.
“Message Send rejected.” This appears when the LES rejects
the message because of non-technical reasons such as unpaid
subscriber’s fee.
“Message Send pending.” This appears when the circuits at
the LES are busy. Your message will be transmitted when a
circuit becomes clear.
