Chapter 51 Call Scheduling

644

Call scheduling allows you to dictate when a remote node should be called and for how long.

The call scheduling feature allows the ZyWALL to manage a remote node and dictate when a 
remote node should be called and for how long. This feature is similar to the scheduler in a 
videocassette recorder (you can specify a time period for the VCR to record). You can apply 
up to 4 schedule sets in Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile. From the main menu, enter 26 
to access Menu 26 - Schedule Setup as shown next.

Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

Lower numbered sets take precedence over higher numbered sets thereby avoiding scheduling 
conflicts. For example, if sets 1, 2, 3 and 4 are applied in the remote node, then set 1 will take 
precedence over set 2, 3 and 4 as the ZyWALL, by default, applies the lowest numbered set 
first. Set 2 will take precedence over set 3 and 4, and so on.

You can design up to 12 schedule sets but you can only apply up to four schedule sets for a 
remote node.

Note: To delete a schedule set, enter the set number and press [SPACE BAR] and 

then [ENTER] or [DEL] in the Edit Name field.

 To set up a schedule set, select the schedule set you want to setup from menu 26 (1-12) and 
press [ENTER] to see Menu 26.1 - Schedule Set Setup as shown next.
