Adding a Telex, Teletex or Telefax Mail Node

To add a telex, teletex or telefax mail node, enter a name for the node in the "Mail Node/Type" field at the bottom of the "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen (this is the name which is to be entered as the addressee when sending mail), and select the Add Mail Node function.

The "Add Mail Node" screen will appear, and you must enter the necessary information for adding a new node. See Add a Mail Node. Specify the address level and node type (B - telex, H - telefax, or T - teletex) and press ENTER to display the "Add Telex/Teletex/Telefax Node" window.

 Enter data and press ENTER to add

The following information can be entered in this window, and will appear in the "Send Telex/Teletex/Telefax to Node-name" window when the user sends a telex, teletex or telefax.

To

The addressee's name (this does not have to be the same as the node name).

From

The sender's name.

Subject

The subject of the telex, teletex or telefax.

Telex, Teletex or Telefax Number

The recipient's telex, teletex or telefax number.

Answer back

Telex, teletex and telefax numbers may have corresponding answer back messages. If this message is entered, a check will be made when the telex, teletex or telefax is sent to see if the message and telex, teletex or telefax number correspond. If they do not correspond, the message "Cannot be delivered" will appear when the user checks the reception status in the Outbasket (using the ADDRESS command).

Send between

The time within which the telex, teletex or telefax is to be sent according to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Enter the time in a 24h notation without delimiters, e.g. 1800 for 6 pm.

Note:
Con-nect does not allow you to enter midnight as 24:00. Instead, you must enter 0:00 (0000 in this case).

Number of retries

Limits the number of retries if this function is supported by the transmission hardware installed. The end-user may not modify this field.

Device

Specifies from which telex system the message is sent. The end-user may not modify this field.

Mark to allow modifications at send

You can mark this field with any character. This option is used in conjunction with the "Telex, Teletex or Telefax Number" field and defines the following:

• whether a window appears every time the user sends a telex, teletex or telefax;

• whether the fields "Telex, Teletex or Telefax Number", "Answer back", "Send between", "Number of retries", and "Device" can be modified by the user.

Depending upon whether you specify a telex, teletex, or telefax number, or whether you allow the information to be modified before sending, one of the following will occur whenever a telex, teletex, or telefax is sent (this applies to external nodes as well as nicknames):

Example

1. You have allowed all fields to be modified. You have not specified a telex number or an answer back message.

   When the user sends a telex, the window appears and he must specify a telex number and if he wants, an answer back message. The user can modify all information which appears in this window.

2. You have disallowed all modifications. However, you have not specified a telex number or an answer back message.

   When the user sends a telex, the window appears where he must specify a telex number and if he wants, an answer back message. Additionally, the user can modify the following fields: "To", "From", and "Subject".

3. You have disallowed all modifications and you have specified a telex number.

   When the user sends a telex, the window does not appear and the telex is sent directly to the specified telex number.
