Function |
Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. The failover settings at the carrier level is used to redirect all the pending messages to another carrier when the original carrier can't be contacted.
For example, you could configure multiple AWS SNS carriers and tie each of them to a separate host (us-east-1, us-west-2, etc) and have one fail over to the other.
Alternately, you could configure a failover to go to a completely different method of communication. So, the program would initially try to negotiate SMS delivery with AWS SNS but if AWS is down or unreachable, you can fail over to SMTP, WCTP, SNPP, TAP or any other delivery method instead. |

Username |
The 'Access Key ID' of an AWS account that has permission to use the AWS SNS. |
Password |
The 'Secret Access Key' associated with the 'Access Key ID' used in the username field. |
Priority |
This field determines this carrier's place within the priority system.
By default, all carriers have their priority value set to 100 which puts them all on equal footing. If you leave 100 as your baseline, giving a carrier a priority value lower than 100 will be considered more important with a value of 1 being the most important and a value higher than 100 will be considered less important up to the maximum value of 32000 being the least important. |
Max PIN Length |
This field is used to limit the number of digits accepted from a recipient's ID/PIN field for this carrier (extra digits are stripped of the beginning). |
