Windows MAXPage Software Installation & Configuration Guide for MAXPage
there are three recipients in a group and a message is sent, only the first pager in the group gets the first
message. The next message that is sent to the group goes to the second pager and the third message sent
goes to the third pager in the group. If a fourth message is sent to the group, the cycle repeats. If the
checkbox is not ticked, all recipients within the group receive the message at the same time.
8. To test a group by sending a test message to it, select the group name on the left hand side and click the
Test button.

Delay
This specifies the delay in seconds (between 0-999) before the message is sent. If the alarm state returns
to the previous state before the delay period, no message will be sent. E.g.: You could wire an alarm
input to a freezer door so people don’t forget to close it. Give it a delay of 60 seconds. If the freezer door
is open more than 60 seconds a message will be sent. If it is closed within 60 seconds no message is sent.
