3.11Alternate Terminating Address (ATA) / Message Forwarding

Message forwarding allows copies of all SC-terminated messages to be sent to an alternate terminating address (ATA). Any valid e-mail address can be set as the ATA, and any of three forwarding rules can be applied: carbon copy, conditional, or unconditional. The appropriate address and rule should be specified when the satellite modem is provisioned.

3.12 Delivery Plan

A delivery plan is the scheme the ORBCOMM gateway uses to attempt delivery of SC-terminated messages. Delivery plans have four main characteristics:

•Automatic delivery attempts: the number of times, immediately upon receipt and at one- minute intervals, the ORBCOMM Gateway will attempt to deliver an SC-terminated message

•Time to hold: the maximum time the ORBCOMM Gateway will hold the message before returning it as undeliverable

•Deletion after final attempt: whether the message should be deleted after the automatic delivery attempts are exhausted, or held until the time to hold has been reached

•Use of piggybacking: whether a message delivery attempt should be triggered by successful delivery of another message in either direction
