The Delay for No Answer In Minutes determines how long
the Octel 50 system waits between retries for attempts
resulting in a no answer.
If the Number of Retries for Busy is reached first, the Octel
50 system places the message in the sender’s new
message queue and makes no further attempts.
Each time the Number of Retries for No Answer is reached
for a message and the Octel 50 system returns the
message to the sender’s mailbox, an attempt is counted
towards Maximum Number of Attempts Before Failure.
If Set Too High
The Octel 50 system may unnecessarily tie up a port trying
to reach a remote system that may be down.
If Set Too Low
The Octel 50 system may unnecessarily return messages to
subscriber mailboxes. If set to 0, the Octel 50 system places
the message in the sender’s mailbox after the first attempt
resulting in a no answer.
