Function |
Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. For example, if you have multiple SMTP servers, you could configure PageGate to relay through any or all of them in a failover scenario. Alternatively, you could configure a failover to go to a completely different method of communication. So, the program would initially try to deliver an email/SMTP message but if it can't, you can have it failover to output the message as a text file to the hard drive to keep a record of failed messages or you could have the program attempt delivery by SNPP, WCTP, cellular hardware, etc. |

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). |
