Intelligent Auto-Retry, Economy Delivery | AT&T 2.1.1 instruction

Intelligent Auto-Retry

If an outbound fax message is not successfully delivered, FAX Attendant keeps trying to deliver the message until the maximum retry period (an administerable parameter) is reached. When this time period expires, FAX Attendant generates a failed delivery report for the subscriber who initiated the message.

If a fax is interrupted during transmission, FAX Attendant resends the message, sending only the cover page and any previously unsuccessfully transmitted pages.

Economy Delivery

The Economy Delivery option allows a subscriber to defer delivery of a fax until the system administered economy time period; generally, when the telephone rates are lower.

Delivery Reports

FAX Attendant can create a delivery report for every fax. One report is generated regardless of the number of destinations. The report summarizes the status of each delivery.

Each subscriber can choose his or her own delivery report setting. The options for this feature are on or off. If it is turned on, the subscriber receives a delivery report for every fax transmission. The report includes the time the fax was submitted, a reduced image of the cover sheet, and a summary of the delivery status to each destination. If it is turned off, a report is still generated if the system is unable to successfully transmit to any destination.

Additionally, if the delivery report option is turned off, an intermediary delivery report is placed in the subscriber’s mailbox after each pass through the list of destinations. At the end of the retry period, FAX Attendant generates a final delivery report.

Distribution Lists

Distribution lists provide a convenient way to send the same fax message to many locations. Each subscriber can have up to 250 distribution lists with up to 250 members in each list. Subscribers can use their own lists or lists of other subscribers, but cannot change lists stored by other subscribers. Subscribers can program their own distribution lists using any touch-tone telephone. Optionally, the System Manager can enter long lists at the system console.
