Failover

Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. For example, let's say that you're registered on the Verizon EMAG system. Since they support WCTP, SMTP and SNPP, you could configure the program to failover from WCTP to either SNPP or SMTP and then configure a second layer of failover between SMTP and SNPP. 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.

Username

If the WCTP host requires authentication credentials, enter the username here.

Password

If the WCTP host requires authentication credentials, enter the password here.

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).
