MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Schedules Tab

This topic describes the controls in the Schedules tab of the Octel Analog Networking Gateway Properties dialog box. See MAS - Octel Analog Networking Gateway Properties Dialog Box.

Note: For more information, see MAS - Procedure for Administering Octel Analog Networking.

In the Schedules tab, you can set up message dispatch schedules. These determine what time of day messages are sent from the MAS to mailboxes on the remote Octel Analog Networking (OAN) node.

You can set up multiple schedules for sending messages from different locations at different times of the day. For example, your organization may want to dispatch some messages, such as those with low importance, at times when call charges are lowest.

Note: Once you have set up your message dispatch schedules, you must configure the Delivery Rules tab. Delivery rules allow you to assign schedules to messages of different importance. See MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Delivery Rules Tab.
