With the Push x settings you can determine if you want the devices to be notified of changes in the different resources x. These settings will by default be On. However, for some client platforms you might want to turn off for instance Push contact or Push calendar. This typically applies to iOS devices, where background synchronization is not possible, and where notifications about calendar or contact changes might be disruptive. All resources will be synchronized when the user synchronizes e-mails anyway.

If this setting is On, network push is enabled. This means that notifications and server commands are sent over the GPRS network if available. For more information, see Appendix F: AdaptivePush™. If not enabled, or if the GPRS network is unavailable, notifications are sent by SMS.
Android: With version 4.1 of the DME server, support for Google cloud Messaging (GCM) was introduced. This is supported as of DME client 4.1 for Android running on Android 2.2 and above. However, network push support remains for older devices. For more information, see Third party push notification below.
Apple: Network push support has been removed from the DME client for iOS as of version 3.5.6 of the client. See Third party push notification below.
In this field you can specify the network path used for network push. Network push requires a separate connection to the server. Be aware that the path and port must be given access through the corporate firewall. For more information, see Appendix F: AdaptivePush™.
Supported by:
If this setting is On, third party push notification is enabled. This means different things for the Android and the Apple platform devices:
Android: Here, Third party push notification means Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). This is required if you want users of Android devices to be able to receive notifications through the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service, which is recommended. For more information about further requirements, see Notifications on Android devices.
Apple: Here, Third party push notification means Apple Push Notification (APN) is enabled. This is required if you want users of iOS devices to be able to receive notifications through the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), which is recommended. For more information about further requirements, see Notifications on iOS devices.
Supported by:
As a cost-saving feature, you can disable the network (IP) connection when the device is roaming. You can do this by turning this setting Off. If Notify when roaming (below) is enabled, the server will resort to SMS push (if permitted by the setting Enable SMS fallback below) or third-party push. If Notify when roaming is disabled also, the device will receive no notifications at all.
The current roaming status of the device can be seen in the device Information page (see Information). To update the roaming status, the user can perform a manual synchronization when he or she returns to his or her home network.
Supported by:
As a cost-saving feature, you can disable push notification when the device is roaming. The client will not receive any notifications by network push, SMS, or third-party push.
If this setting is On, DME will send notifications about new e-mail and other items, even when the device is roaming. If Network push when roaming (above) is Off, the notifications will not be pushed by network push, but only by Apple Push (iOS), GCM (Android), and SMS (if permitted by the setting Enable SMS fallback below).
Supported by: ALL
In this field you can specify the number times the server will send a notification to a device that does not respond by synchronizing. If a device is off for a long time, for instance if the device holder is on a 2-week vacation without his device, the server will stop sending notifications to the device after the specified number of notifications. This saves SMS and traffic costs. The number of notifications is reset every time the device has contact with the server.
Supported by: ALL
If this setting is On, the server will fall back to notification by SMS push if network push is unavailable (making this Adaptive Push™). The same applies in the rather unlikely event that third-party push becomes unavailable. If this setting is Off, the affected clients will not receive notification by SMS.
