# Configure Message Delivery

This procedure summarizes the steps necessary to configure the server for message delivery.

## Before You Begin

- Ensure that appropriate server hardware and software have been installed

- Ensure that you have completed the Outdial Line Group Worksheet

- Ensure that you have defined a line group for Message Delivery (usually the same as the paging line group)

To configure Message Delivery:

1. Follow the instructions in Define a Pager System to set up the pager system to be used for message delivery. A typical access code for message delivery is T9 where:

   - T = Wait for dial tone

   - 9 = Request an outside line

2. Customize an FCOS to include these feature bits:

Bit | Description
40 | receive messages from other users
41 | receive messages from outside callers
70 | User Options Menu
77 | change pager schedule
79 (or 80) | set Message waiting #1(or #2) for urgent messages only
88 | receive urgent messages
124 | change paging phone number
168 (or 169) | Message waiting # 1 (or #2), pager requeue
181 | paging over msg del, mwi 1 over mwi 2
182 | use pri/alt as week/weekend for MWI #1
183 | use pri/alt as week/weekend for MWI #2

3. If required, customize an LCOS using the information supplied in COS for Pager Mailboxes.

4. Follow the instructions in Configure a Mailbox for Paging to set up a pager mailbox:

5. A typical pager number for display paging contains the account number or the DID number of the user’s pager, followed by a one- or two-second pause (++).

6. A typical post-pager number for display paging contains only the display digits to be shown on the pager.

7. Choose no message delivery.

5. If required, set billing rates for paging (see Related Topics).

6. Test the configuration and pager operation using the procedures in the Testing the Pager Application section.
