It is IMPORTANT to understand that the Carrier ID and MetaCarrier
Custom Message are two distinct features of the CDM-425. Read your
documentation carefully.
With Carrier ID Enabled, the first 24 characters of the 40-character
Circuit ID are intended for and sent as the MetaCarrier Custom
Message. While you must limit your MetaCarrier Custom Message to 24
characters or less, the full 40 characters of the Circuit ID will display on
the front panel screen saver (see Sect. 6.1.3.1 Screen Saver).
