￿Method

The system can deliver Each, Batch, or Urgent messages:

Each

The system starts the message delivery process for this number as soon as each new message is received.

Batch

The system starts the message delivery process when the first new message is received for a subscriber. If this first message delivery is unsuccessful, the system waits for the specified delivery interval before trying this number again. With this method, the system never calls a message delivery number more often than the specified interval.

The difference between Each and Batch is best shown by example. Look at the following message delivery settings:

#2: 555-1234 after 0 min, 8:00am- 5:00pm MTWHFSU 5 rings 30 min, Each

#3: 555-6789 after 0 min, 8:00am- 5:00pm MTWHFSU 5 rings 30 min, Batch

Assume the system is not very busy, ports are always available for message delivery, and neither 555-1234 nor 555-6789 answers when the system calls. If a new message comes in at 1:00pm, the system immediately calls Phone #2 and Phone #3. If neither answers, the system schedules the next try for these numbers for 1:30pm. If, however, another new message comes in at 1:10pm, the system immediately tries Phone #2 again, because Phone #2 is set to Each. The system does not try Phone #3 again until 1:30pm, because it is set to Batch.

Notice that the initial delay, delivery schedule, delivery interval, and delivery method all work together to determine when a message delivery number is called. If Phone #3 had an initial delay set to after 20 min, the system would make its first delivery try to this number at 1:20pm rather than 1:00pm.

Urgent

The system delivers only new urgent messages.

Delivery may also be Off to turn off message delivery to a number.
