1Call based••••••

Prio 1/3/6 are call based messages. When using call based messages, you have to look at the maximum parallel call system capacity. For example and N870 can handle up to 60 parallel calls, this means that when no handset is in a call, up to 60 messages can be send. If handsets are in a call, these have to be counted in the maximum signaling of messages.  By using an Integrator it is easy to increase the number of parallel calls.

Prio 2/4/5/7 are not defined and could be used in the future if more prio levels are needed.
