# Setting Delay Times for Programmable RS-232 MWI

Perform the following steps to set the delay time between successive message waiting indicators requests, and to set the delay time between the post-DN OFF string and the ending trailer string:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System, and then (G) Offline Menu.

2. If necessary, duplicate the configuration by selecting (B) Duplicate Active Configuration.

   The server copies the current (active) configuration. When copying is completed, the short form of the Offline Menu appears.

   All subsequent steps in this procedure – along with any other configuration entries – will affect just the copy, and take effect only after you activate the configuration.

3. Select (M) RS232 Application Only.

4. Select (K) Delay Between Requestand set the time for delays between requests. When the prompt Delay in secs (0 - 255) = appears, enter the seconds (0-255) that the server should delay between successive message waiting indicators requests.

5. Select (L) Delay After Post-DN Stringand set the time for delays between the post-DN OFF string and ending trailer string. When the prompt Post-DN delay in secs (0 - 255) = appears, enter the seconds (0-255) that the server should delay after sending the post-DN OFF string and before sending the ending trailer string.

6. Save the parameter settings by exiting to the Main Menu.

7. You must activate the inactive configuration for the changes to take effect.
