Set up the system-wide options that apply to the digital pager callback number.
8004 - IntraMail System Options: Digital Pager Callback Number on page 214.
1.1
- Set the Digital Pager Callback Number portion of the Message Notification callout number
for a digital pager. This is the portion of the callout number that is appended to the pager
service telephone number.
✔
By default, this option is X*M#, where:
- X is the number of the extension that generated the notification.
- * is a visual delimiter (to make the pager display easier to read).
- M is the number of new messages in the extension's mailbox.
- # is the digit normally used by the pager service for positive disconnect.
8004 - IntraMail System Options: Delay in Dialing Digital Pager Callback Number on
1.2
page 214.
- Set the delay (0-99 seconds) that occurs just before IntraMail dials the Digital Pager Call-
back Number portion of the Message Notification callout number for a digital pager. Set
this delay so the pager service has enough time to connect to the digital pager before send-
ing the callback number. Your pager service may be able to help you determine the best
value for this option (0-99 seconds). When placing a digital pager notification, the system:
- Seizes the trunk specified in 8002 - Dial 9 Group.
- Dials the user-entered notification number (in MW + OP + N ).
- Waits the 8004 - Delay in Dialing Digital Pager Callback Number interval.
- Dials the number entered in 8004 - Digital Pager Callback Number.
- The system assumes that the notification number will complete dialing approximately 4
seconds after trunk seizure. This means that, by default, the Digital Pager Callback Number
will be dialed into the pager service about 13 seconds after trunk seizure.
- Your pager service may be able to help you determine the best value for this option.
✔
By default, this option is 9 seconds.
Set up the system-wide options that apply to digital pager callouts/
8004 - IntraMail System Options: Wait Between Digital Pager Callout Attempts on page 215.
2.1
- Set the minimum time (1-255 minutes) between unacknowledged or unanswered digital
pager Message Notification callouts. (A subscriber acknowledges a digital pager notifica-
tion by logging onto their mailbox.) After this interval expires, IntraMail will try the callout
again (for up to the number of times set in 8004 - Number of Callout Attempts).
- If the system dials the callout number and the pager service is busy, it will retry the number
in one minute.
✔
By default, this option is 15 minutes.
8004 - IntraMail System Options: Send Pager Callout Until Acknowledged on page 216.
2.2
- When this option is enabled (Y), IntraMail will continue to retry a digital pager Message
Notification callout until the notification is acknowledged. If this option is disabled (No),
IntraMail will retry a digital pager Message Notification the number of times specified in
8004 - Number of Callout Attempts. This option does not apply to Message Notification
callouts to telephone numbers.
- A digital pager notification is considered acknowledged when the recipient logs onto the
mailbox.
✔
By default, this option is disabled (N).
