Abstract
A technique is for receiving variable length messages in a selective call receiver (68) having a processor (110) coupled to a memory element (86). The selective call receiver (68) is configured to receive a signal transmitted in a standard protocol format comprising an address portion (14) and a message portion (16). First, second, third, and fourth configuration values are stored within the selective call receiver (68) from which determinations are made, respectively, whether the selective call receiver (68) is permitted to process sub-address information (22, 24) included within the message portion, whether said selective call receiver (68) is permitted to receive a particular sub-address included in the message portion, whether said selective call receive (68) is permitted to process a processor command (26) included in the message portion, and whether said selective call receiver (68) is permitted to receive and process a particular processor command included in the message portion.
