Consider unacknowledged…	In the two text boxes following “Consider unacknowledged if not received after,” the user enters values that tell the program the period of time in which you expect to receive a functional acknowledgement. If an acknowledgement is received after this period, it is considered overdue. (Allows Gateway to report on overdue acknowledgements.) Time Units specifies the unit of measure (DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, or SECONDS) for the period during which an acknowledgement to your outgoing message must be received. In the text box following Time Units, you select the actual number of units of time after which an acknowledgement is considered overdue. (The drop-down list includes the valid values 1 – 99.)
