Configuring a Schedule

Policy > Object > Schedule

This function allows a policy rule to take effect in a specified time, and controls the duration for the connection between a PPPoE interface and Internet. The schedule consists of periodic schedule and absolute schedule. The periodic schedule specifies a time point or time range by periodic schedule entries, while the absolute schedule decides a time range in which the periodic schedule will take effect.

In the Schedule page, you can perform the following actions:

Options in the Schedule Configuration dialog:

Option Description

Name

Specified a name for the new schedule.

Periodic Schedule

The periodic schedule specifies a time point or time range to make the event happen repeatedly and periodically.

Click Add to select the type and configure the settings.

Absolute Schedule

The absolute schedule decides a time range in which the periodic schedule will take effect. Without configuring a absolute schedule, the periodic schedule will take effect as soon as it is used by some module.
