Function |
Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. For example, let's say that you have two cellular routers/gateways. You could configure one cellular router/gateway as the primary method of delivery, then configure a second carrier for the backup router/gateway and configure the first carrier to fail over to the second. As another example, if you had two Android phones with the NotePage Android SMS Gateway installed, you could fail over between them as necessary.
Alternatively, 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 your cellular hardware but if the hardware 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. |
Msg Limit |
This field determines the number of messages that the cellular hardware can handle in one block. This setting is directly effected by the make and model of cellular modem, router or gateway you have as different devices have different settings and limitations. It is recommended to set this value to 1 for most GSM-AT-IP carriers. |
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). |
