ONLY VECTOR PACKET
V:
vector type identifier, these bits set to 010 for a
short message/tone-only vector (Table 33).
WN:
word number of vector (2 to 87 decimal) (Table 33).
WN describes the location of the vector word in the frame.
e:
error (Table 33). Set if more than 2 bit errors are
detected in the word, if the check character calculation fails
after error correction has been performed, or if the vector
value is determined to be invalid.
p:
phase (Table 33). This is the phase on which the vector
was found (0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C and 3 = D).
t:
message type (Tables 33 and 34). These bits define the
meaning of the d bits in this packet.
x:
unused bits (Table 33). The value of these bits is not
guaranteed.
d:
data bits whose definition depends on the value of t in
this packet according to Table 34. Note that if this vector is
received on a long address and the e bit in this packet is
not set, the decoder sends a message packet from the
word location immediately following the vector packet.
Except for the short message on a non-network address
(t = 0), all messages bits in the message packet are
unused and should be ignored.

Short message/tone-only vector packet bit assignments
Table 34
Short message/tone-only vector definitions
Note
1.
For long addresses, an extra 5 characters are sent in the message packet immediately following the vector packet.
