8)Set the Priority of the carrier. This can be set to a value from 1 to 100, with 1 representing the highest priority. The default value all carriers and recipients is 100, however, numbers larger than 100 can be used.

 

9)If the WCTP host you need to connect to requires authentication, select the required method from the Auth Type dropdown list and enter the required authentication credentials in the Password field. If you are unsure of the authentication type or credentials, please contact the WCTP host provider.
