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).
