Schedule (time interval
and days)
Specifies the hours and days when this phone number is
used for message delivery. When two delivery schedules
overlap, the messaging system delivers the messages to
both phones.
Delivery Method
Select one of the following message delivery methods:
• Each. Starts message delivery as soon as each new
message arrives and repeats delivery each time a new
message arrives. There is no delivery delay available with
this method.
• Urgent. Starts message delivery only when a new,
urgent message arrives and repeats delivery each time a
new, urgent message arrives.
• Batch. When a new message arrives, the messaging
system waits the specified delivery interval before
attempting to notify the guest. If this delivery attempt is
unsuccessful, the messaging system waits the specified
delivery interval before retrying this number. With this
method, the system delivers messages no more
frequently than the interval scheduled.

answer when attempting message delivery to the phone
number.
If delivery attempt fails,
wait… minutes before
retrying
Sets the number of minutes that the messaging system waits
after an unsuccessful message delivery attempt before
retrying the message delivery number. An attempt is
unsuccessful when the delivery number is busy, unanswered,
answered by a person who does not enter a personal ID or
answered by an answering machine.
