Push Settings

Push Settings give you the ability to choose the type of synchronization for your device and to customize how often your device synchronizes with the NotifyLink server.  There are separate settings for weekdays and weekends.  Synchronization can be turned off, set for all day, or set for intervals.

These synchronization sessions leave data already on the device untouched and automatically retrieve new email and PIM items from the server at the interval you have specified.

 

Push Type and Network Settings 

•      Direct Push is supported on devices provisioned for TCP by the carrier network. 

•      Scheduled Push is supported on devices provisioned for BIS, TCP, or WAP.

•      WiFi connections require the use of either BIS or TCP WiFi.

See Network Settings for more information.

See the reference document Direct Push Technology for more information on the Direct Push method of synchronization.

 

Setting Your Sync (Push) Preferences

 

1.  Select the NotifyLink icon from the Home screen.

2.  From the message list menu, select Preferences > Push Settings.

3.  The Network Setting you chose at registration will display.  You may change it here if you wish.  See Network Settings for more information.

4.  Select the Push Type.  Choose Scheduled Push or Direct Push.  Default is Scheduled Push.

 

a.  For Scheduled Push, define the following:

Setting	Description
Weekday Settings	Set to: Off, Interval, or All Day to determine when the device will synchronize Mondays through Fridays.
Weekend Settings	Set to: Off, Interval, or All Day to determine when the device will synchronize on Saturdays and Sundays.
Push Frequency	If you have set weekdays/weekends to All Day or Interval, type in the number of minutes between synchronizations (valid entry=1 to 90 minutes).  Default is 5 minutes, resulting in the device synchronizing every 5 minutes.
Range	If you have set weekdays/weekends to Interval, choose the times you wish the synchronization to start and end.  Times must be within one 24-hour period.  Defaults are 7:00 to 19:00, resulting in the device synchronizing from 7am to 7 pm.

 

b.  For Direct Push, define the following:

Setting	Description
Direct Push Timeout	Time limit for a direct push session.  The time limit is determined by the shortest timeout in the network path.  It is recommended that all timeouts in the network path match or exceed the direct push timeout.  Default is 15 minutes.
Weekday Settings	Set to: Off, Interval, or All Day.  If set to ‘Interval,’ choose the times you wish the synchronization to start and end.  Times must be within one 24-hourt period.  Defaults are 7:00 to 19:00, resulting in the device synchronizing from 7am to 7 pm.
Weekend Settings	Set to: Off, Interval, or All Day.  Defaults are the same as for weekday.

5.  Set your preference for the Automatic Radio Cycle.  Select one of the following:

•      Prompt:  If attempts to open a network connection consistently fail, device prompts you before it cycles the radio (off/on).

•      Yes:  Automatically cycles the radio (off/on) if attempts to open a network connection consistently fail.

•      No:  If attempts to open a network connection consistently fail, a dialog appears advising you to restart your device manually.
