Recipients
Item
Description
Recipients A notification can be addressed to one or more first-level recipient
group(s). Each group can also have a list of additional escalation
recipients defined, to use in case the main group members can’t be
reached.
Each recipient of a notification has a primary and a fallback device.
The remote notification is first sent using the current available
device. If the primary device fails, the notification is automatically
switched to the fallback device. If the fallback device fails, the
system will retry the primary device. If the primary device fails again,
the system stops trying to send the message and the recipient
status becomes Not Reachable. Diagnostic messages display if
the device is faulty/misconfigured/disabled.
For each recipient group, the following information displays:
 Group name
 Status: outcome of the notification to the group as a whole
 Replies and Threshold: how many group members have replied
and what is the minimum required number of replies
 Timeout for the group: time limit for receiving the required
number of replies from this group.
NOTE:
When many clients and many remote notification
messages are involved, the system ensures that all the timers
are aligned.
 List of the individual members of the group, with the name,
preferred (PR) and fallback (FB) devices, and notification status
of each.
Stop is the status that displays when you stop the
escalation.
If the group has escalation recipients, the following also displays:
 Status: outcome of the escalation as a whole.
 Replies and Threshold: how many escalation recipients have
replied and what is the minimum required number of replies.
 List of the individual escalation recipients, with the name,
preferred (PR) and fallback (FB) devices, notification status and
timeout for each one. (
Pending is indicated in the interval of time
before timeout expires).
NOTE:
When many clients and many remote notification
messages are involved, the system ensures that all the timers
are aligned.
