Use this dialog box to create or edit a dial-up profile. The profile contains information that the GroupWise® Internet Agent uses to determine when to request a dial-up Internet connection from your routing service. The profile is applied to the times you select in the schedule grid on the Scheduling page.

Queue Thresholds
The queue thresholds determine the criteria for the Internet Agent to initiate
a dial-up connection to send messages. The settings do not apply to initiating
a connection for receiving inbound messages (see Dial Parameters below).
You can base the criteria on the number of messages in the send queue, the total size of the messages in the send queue, or the number of minutes to wait between connections. If necessary, you can use a combination of the three criteria.
For example, if you set Messages to 20, Kilobytes to 100, and Minutes to 60, the Internet Agent instructs the routing service to initiate a dial-up connection when 20 messages have accumulated in the queue, when the total size of the messages in the queue reaches 100K, or when 60 minutes have passed since the last connection.
Dial Parameters
The dial parameters serve two purposes: 1)
the Internet Agent passes the Redial Interval and Idle Time Before Hangup
parameters to the routing service to use when initiating a connection to
send outbound messages, and 2) the Internet Agent uses the Polling
Interval parameter to determine how often the routing service should
initiate a connection to check for inbound messages. The Polling Interval
parameter is required.
Specify the interval between redials (default is 30 seconds), the amount of time to wait before hanging up when there are no messages to process (default is 120 seconds), and the interval between polling for inbound messages (default is 0 minutes).
