CHECKSUM
LIMITATIONS
Checksum is a means of verffylng a comnmmicator report without sending two
meSSage rounds. The way this works is as follows:
When the oommunicator has to send a report it qkkfy totals allof the digits in
the report (Account Number + Report Code). lt then adds to that total another
diilt. so that the grand total is evenly divisible by 15. This ‘other digit is the
Checksum digit. For example:
12343isthereporttobesent:
1+2+3+4+3r13total
13 plus 7 (checksum digit) = ‘15’ Grand Total:
‘15’ is evenly diiislble by 15!
When the receiver gets the message, it sinq)ly adds up the individual
message diiits received and divides by 15. lf evenly divisible. the report is
valid!
Note: 3+1 Low Speed (standard or expanded), 4+2 Low Speed (standard or
expanded), and High Speed reporting can be enabled to report wlth
checksum instead of Pround verification by entering a -1’ in field
l
49.4+2
Express, and Contact ID automatically send checksum, and do not have to
have this feature enabled.
If reporting in 3+1 Low Speed format with checksum, be sure that the 695
Digital Receiver is also set for 3+1 with checksum, otherwise there might be
confusion as to the meaning of the reports.
lf reporting in 4+1 Low Speed do
not enable checksum because ll will appear as a 4+2 report on the central
station’s receiver, and might cause confusion as to the meaning of the report!
