Octel 50 Installation Guide
8-31
An attempt is counted any time the Octel 50 system returns
a message to the sending subscriber’s mailbox:
•
Maximum number of retries for busy is reached
•
Minimum number of retires for no answer is reached
•
Destination mailbox is full
•
Dispatch fails
For example, if you set this parameter to 5, the node will be
disabled if five messages to that node are returned to the
sending subscribers’ mailboxes.
When/How to Use
The default for this parameter should be sufficient for most
Octel 50 systems.
If subscribers notify you that they are unable to enter a node
number when sending a network message, it is likely the
node has been deactivated. Check the AMIS Node Entry
dialog box to determine if the Octel 50 system has
automatically disabled the Node Active checkbox. If so, you
should determine the reason for the messaging failures
before reactivating the node.
Related Parameters/Features
Each time the Number of Retries for No Answer is reached
for a message, the Octel 50 system returns the message to
the subscriber’s mailbox and an attempt is counted towards
Maximum Number of Attempts Before Failure.
Each time the Number of Retries for Busy is reached for a
message, the Octel 50 system returns the message to the
subscriber’s mailbox and an attempt is counted towards
Maximum Number of Attempts Before Failure.
If Set Too High
It may be some time before you determine that there is a
problem with a node.
If Set Too Low
You may deactivate nodes unnecessarily. Setting this
parameter to 0 acts the same as when you set it to 1.

AMIS Parameters - #50
Maximum Delay
for Standard
Dispatch in
Minutes
This parameter defines the number of minutes that any
message can be held in a standard dispatch queue. When
any message in the queue reaches the maximum delay, the
Octel 50 system dispatches all messages in the queue. This
parameter applies to all network messages assigned
standard dispatch (Administered or Casual AMIS).
