# Status Reports

A Status Report consists of a preliminary report and a channel report.

The type of status report delivered, depends on the destination type:

- Telephone -- Consists of a preliminary report if there are any problems for the Catalyst to report. The Catalyst will then report any channels that are not NORMAL. If all channels are NORMAL, then the Catalyst will report "All Channels are NORMAL." You will be prompted to press 3 or 9 to acknowledge the test Autocall.
- Numeric Pager -- numeric pager reports consist of a callback string followed by the number of channels currently in ALARM. The number will be zero if all channels are NORMAL.
- Alphanumeric Pager -- alphanumeric pager reports consist of a header followed by individual status messages describing the RTU and channel states.
- FAX -- Consists of a "cover sheet" if selected and a report of the current channel readings and states. Also includes status only channels.
- Email – Same as Fax. Consists of a "cover sheet" if selected and a report of the current channel readings and states. Also includes status only channels.
- Remote Data Terminal -- Consists of an ASCII text report containing information on the current statistics and counts (similar to the FAX cover page). The report will also contain information on all channels that are not NORMAL. If all channels are NORMAL, then the Catalyst will report that "All Channels are NORMAL."
