Issue 3 EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited
Any other character entered in the telephone number field is ignored
when the system dials the telephone number. To make it easier to
read, you may include parentheses and dashes.
The system does not dial telephone numbers with letters such as 555-
INFO. Enter the actual touchtone digits represented by these letters
instead.
Delay
If Batch delivery is selected, the after __ min field sets the minutes
the system waits after receiving a new message before making its
first attempt to deliver a message to this number. This allows you to
prioritize message delivery numbers for each subscriber. If you set
Phone #1 to 0 minutes delay time and Phone #2 to 60 minutes delay,
for the first 60 minutes the system tries to deliver a new message
only to Phone #1. After 60 minutes, the system attempts to deliver
the message to both Phone #2 and Phone #1.
Do not confuse this initial delay with the delivery interval. This field
only sets the delay of the first attempt to deliver a message to this
number. In contrast, the delivery interval controls how much time
elapses between subsequent delivery attempts.
Delivery Schedule
This field specifies the hours and days that message delivery to this
number is active. Include both beginning and ending hours and days
of the week (M T W H F S U). H is Thursday, and U is Sunday. When
the message delivery schedule overlaps with another, the system
tries to deliver messages to both numbers.
Rings
This field specifies how many rings the system waits for an answer
when calling this message delivery number. For most applications,
set 3 rings or greater. If you are using call forward on ring-no-answer,
the number of rings to wait should be set 2 rings less than the
number of rings programmed on the Electra Elite telephone system.
Interval
This field specifies the minutes the system waits after an
unsuccessful message delivery attempt before trying each active
message delivery number again. An unsuccessful delivery attempt
occurs when the message delivery number is busy or goes
unanswered or is answered by a person (or answering machine) that
does not enter the subscriber Personal ID. Delivery interval may be
set to a maximum of 999 minutes (16 hours, 39 minutes).
