MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Delivery Rules Tab

In the Dialing Rules tab, you can set up rules for message delivery to a remote Octel Analog Networking (OAN) node. Using delivery rules, you can assign different schedules to messages of high, low, or normal importance.

For example, if your organization wants to dispatch messages of low importance to a remote node at times when call charges are lowest, you can set up a delivery rule that assigns a schedule for cheap rate call times to a low importance priority.
