General Information - Status Messages (SM)
This section presents pertinent information regarding status messages that are sent periodically by the Nlets system, Nlets terminals, and member systems.
All messages are in plain English and use the same structure and header format as Administrative messages (AM).
If a state or other user is going to be out of service and chooses to notify all users on Nlets, an "SM" type message should be used. This message key has been granted the highest priority within the Nlets system.
