Push Settings

Use Push Settings to define the mode of synchronization your device uses (Scheduled Push or Direct Push) and the interval at which connections to the server are made.

You may define different settings for weekdays and weekends and set synchronization to operate all day, for a defined period of the day or to be turned off altogether.

Definitions

Scheduled Push Mode – The device periodically checks the server to see if new messages have arrived and then requests a delivery.

Direct Push Mode – The device establishes a synchronization session with the server. A series of device requests and server responses regarding the availability of new messages and PIM items are continuously exchanged during the session. Consequently, the server can push new items to the device, as soon as they are available. Session length can be defined by the user, however, the default length for the sessions is 15 minutes (shorter sessions often defeat the purpose of direct push’s up-to-the-minute synchronization capabilities). Users should also enable the “Dynamic Interval” option which allows the device to adjust the interval to an optimal length based on performance. See reference document, Direct Push Technology, for more information on the Direct Push synchronization method.

Push Mode Network Requirements

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

• Scheduled Push mode is supported on devices provisioned for BIS or TCP

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

See Network Settings for more information.

Temporarily Disable Synchronization

Push Settings offers an option to temporarily disable all synchronization without having to edit your permanent settings. While synchronization is off, a pop-up message displays if you try to send a reply or newly composed message, or if you attempt to initiate a manual synchronization. A red X appears at the top center of NotifySync’s main screen. You will be prompted to save outgoing messages as drafts when synchronization is off.

Press the menu button and selecting Disable NotifySync. To enable synchronization again, select Enable NotifySync.

Direct Push Mode Can Switch to Scheduled Push

A device may automatically change from Direct Push to Scheduled Push if circumstances warrant a switch. See the knowledge base article for a list of possible scenarios.

If a switch occurs, you will receive a pop-up notification indicating that the push mode has changed from Direct Push to Scheduled Push.

Set Your Push Preferences

1. Open NotifySync and press the menu button.

2. Select Preferences > Push Settings.

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

a. For Schedule Push, define the following:

Weekday Settings	Set to: *Off, Interval, or All Day* to determine when the device will synchronize Mondays through Fridays. Default is Interval.
Weekend Settings	Set to: *Off, Interval, or All Day* to determine when the device will synchronize on Saturdays and Sundays. Default is Interval.
Push Frequency	If you have set Weekdays/Weekends to All Day or Interval, enter the number of minutes (1-90) between synchronizations. The default is 5 minutes, resulting in the device synchronizing every 5 minutes.
Range	If you have set Weekdays/Weekends to Interval, choose the time synchronization should start and end. Times must be within one 24-hour period. The defaults settings are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

b. For Direct Push, define the following:

Direct Push Timeout	Set the duration of a direct push session (the length of time the device connection to the server stays open for synchronization). The default setting is 15 minutes. Check the Dynamic Interval box to allow the device to monitor the performance of the direct push session and adjust the duration to an optimal value.
Weekday Settings	Set to: *Off, Interval, or All Day* to determine when the device will synchronize Mondays through Fridays. The default is Interval.
Weekend Settings	Set to: *Off, Interval, or All Day* to determine when the device will synchronize on Saturdays and Sundays. The default is Interval.
Range	If you have set Weekdays/Weekends to Interval, choose the time synchronization should start and end. Times must be within one 24-hour period. The defaults settings are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

5. Select Save from the menu.
