RAS Sender Address Properties Dialog Box: General Tab

Use this tab to specify the destination site of the sender address, the sender address's priority relative to other sender addresses to the same site, and information needed to access the destination site.

Destination site code
The site code for the site associated with this sender address. If this sender address already exists, this field is unavailable. If you are creating a new sender address, select a site from the list (which contains all known sites) or type a site code. Do not type a site name; it will be ignored.
Relative address priority
A priority to this sender address that is compared to any other sender addresses (such as for Courier Sender or Standard Sender) to the same site. A value of 1 is the highest priority.

The highest priority sender address is tried first when the current site communicates with this destination site. If this communication fails, the next-highest priority sender address is tried.

When you create a new sender address, the default priority is the lowest available. For example, if there are two other sender addresses to the destination site on the current site, the default for this field is 3. Priority values cannot be shared; only one sender address can exist for each priority number.
