Test messages are maintenance tools used to simplify the
maintenance process so that sign repair teams do not need to configure messages
themselves.
What you should know
- Test messages are for maintenance purposes only. When a sign is in maintenance mode,
only test messages can be activated on it.
- You can only have one test message in a DMS entity's private message library at a
time.
