Push Settings

Push Settings give you the ability to define the mode of synchronization the device uses (Scheduled Push or Direct Push) and the interval at which connection to the NotifyLink server is 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.

 

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.

Set Your Push Preferences

1.  Select the NotifySync icon from the Home screen.

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

3.  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, type in the number of minutes between synchronizations (valid entry=1 to 90 minutes).  Default it 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 AM to 7:00 PM.

 

b.  For Direct Push, define the following:

Direct Push Timeout	Duration of a direct push session.  Default is 15 minutes. Checking the Dynamic Interval box enables the device to automatically adjust the duration of the direct push session.  This is recommended as it enables the device to monitor the performance of the direct push session and adjust the setting to the optimal value.
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.
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 AM to 7:00 PM.

4.  Select Save from the menu.
