Hi Chiu

I\'m just reviewing my Event Log decode for the ComfortClient and noticed this firmware adds support for Event Code 33 which isnt documented in the ComfortProtocol document.

Is there a new version of this doc?  The last one I have was updated 27 Feb 11 which is after the release of this firmware.

Regards

Julian

Hi Chiu

I\'m a tad confused by Event Code 32:  In last manual it was \"SMS Dial Failure\"  but now seems to have morphed to \"Message Deleted\" in the new manual.

Which is right?

It was a mistake in the last document which has now been corrected Event 32 is actually Messages deleted and 33 is SMS dial failure

[juwi_uk]

So for event code 32:

Greeting message = 00, Names = 11H to 18H, Incoming messages = 20H to 28H, Alarm
Messages recorded = 30H
* Event 32 Messages Deleted reports messages deleted according to the message tag parameter.  The least signficant 4 bits is the user/mailbox number 1 to 8 or 0 for all users

Examples; just to be clear, are you saying that:
20H = Incoming Message - all users
23H = Incoming Message - user 3
14H = Names - user 4

?
