Failover

Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. For example, let's say that you have two separate locations that you could write files to, a primary location and a backup location. You could configure two separate File carriers, then have one fail over to the other.
 
Alternatively, you could configure a failover to go to a completely different method of communication. So, the program would initially try to write a file to the location specified in the settings of your File carrier but if the destination is unreachable, you can have it failover to an SMTP, WCTP, SNPP, TAP or any other delivery method instead. 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.

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).
