Form tabs
Use this form to set up the connection between the FirstClass server and the service (Internet Services or Voice Services).
Main tab
Use this tab to specify general information about your account and Directory synchronization.
Service name
The name of your account (normally Internet or Voice).
Service account number
We recommend that you accept the default (1000000000 (1 followed by 9 zeroes) for Internet Services or 9000000000 (1 followed by 9 zeroes) for Voice Services). This is the user ID.
Exclude this service
Information about this service is not included in Directory synchronization. This can be used to restrict access to the service by other sites.
Routing cost
The cost of sending a message through this service.
For Internet Services specify a cost if you have more than one Internet account (for example, you have several servers gatewayed together and two or more are running Internet Services).
When the cost of a route that includes this service is determined, this value is added to the cost of other gateways or services on the route. Messages are sent through the route with the lowest cost. "Standard" is 50, the default cost.
Scheduling tab
For Internet Services use this tab to schedule connections to your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Do not schedule this service to run during a trash collection.
For Voice Services use this tab to schedule connections between your Voice Services machine and your FirstClass server.
To see what you have scheduled, click View Schedule. The current week's connection times are listed, starting with Sunday.
View Schedule
Displays what you have scheduled. The current week's connection times are listed, starting with Sunday. This will only work after you have saved your settings.
Scheduling - Time A/Time B tabs
Use these tabs to schedule timed connections. By using both tabs, you can schedule different connection frequencies at different times. For example, you could use Time A to connect every 30 minutes on weekdays and Time B to connect every 6 hours on weekends.
When to connect
The days you want this schedule to make the service connect.
Do not use this schedule
If you select this option, this schedule will not be used. If you choose this option on both time scheduling tabs, this service will not connect on a timed basis. You would turn off all timed scheduling if your server will never initiate service connections, or you only want to connect manually or on demand.
Connect on these days
If you select this option, specify the first and last day of the period you want to connect, then fill in the information under "If connecting weekly or daily". To connect on:
• consecutive days - choose the first day you want to connect at "First day to connect", and the last day you want to connect at "Last day to connect"
• the same day each week - choose the same day at both "First day to connect" and "Last day to connect", or choose "--" at "Last day to connect"
• nonconsecutive days - choose one day at both "First day to connect" and "Last day to connect", and the other day on another time scheduling tab.
Connect daily
If you choose this option:
• choose "Do not use this schedule" on the other time scheduling tab
• fill in the information under "If connecting weekly or daily".
If connecting weekly or daily
• Start at
The time you want the gateway to start connecting.
• Stop at
The time you want the gateway to stop connecting.
• Repeat
The number of times the service will try to connect during the specified time period. For example, if you set "Start at" to 4:00 am, "Stop at" to 5:00 am, and specify 10 as the number of times to connect, connections are spaced evenly during this time period, and the service will try to connect every six minutes. You can also choose a preset value such as "every 15 minutes".
Scheduling - Demand tab
Use this tab to specify thresholds for the number of private messages queued for delivery. Once these thresholds are reached, the service connects automatically.
Urgent messages
The number of urgent messages that must be in the service queue before forcing a connection.
All messages
The number of messages (including urgent messages) that must be in the service queue before forcing a connection. For example, if you specified 5 at "Urgent messages" and 10 at "All messages", a total of 4 urgent messages and 6 nonurgent messages would force a connection.
If the service uses an expensive connection, such as a long distance phone call, you may want to turn on demand scheduling only for urgent messages, and use Group Privileges to restrict the "Make urgent" privilege to certain users.
If you specify zero at both "Urgent messages" and "All messages", this service will not connect on a demand basis.
