----------------------------------------
To compose a MetaCarrier Custom Message – On the bottom line, first use the ◄ ► arrow keys
to select the alphanumeric character space to edit, and then use the ▲▼ arrow keys to edit that
character.
You may use the following characters to compose a MetaCarrier Custom Message of 24
characters or less:
[Space] ( ) * + - , . / 0-9 and A-Z.
Press ENTER once you finish composing the MetaCarrier Custom Message string.
When you enable Carrier ID, the first 24 characters of the 40-character Circuit ID are
intended for and sent as the MetaCarrier Custom Message. While you must limit your
MetaCarrier Custom Message to 24 characters or less, the full 40 characters of the
Circuit ID will display on the front panel screen saver (see Sect. 5.1.3.1 Screen Saver).
19.4.2.2 Use the Web Server (HTTP) Interface to Create the Message
