CR - Change Restriction
Syntax:
cr <restr_id,start(hh:mm),end(hh:mm),day_no.> [ RETURN ]
The Change Restriction command is used to set the list of time restrictions that may be placed on a user or users. Time restrictions block access to the RMATS channel for a specified portion of time on a specified day or days. That is, you can block access to the channel, for example, from 10:00AM to 3:00PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Change Restriction command is used to set the parameters of the restriction and to define to which code letter (restr_id) the restriction applies. The code is then applied to a specific user or users using the User Restriction command, which is explained in this section. To see which codes correspond to which restrictions, use the List Restrictions command, which is explained in this section.
Note: To set overnight time restrictions you will need to set two separate restrictions from time X until midnight (24:00) on one day and then from time 00:00 to time Y on the next day. For example, if you want to restrict access from 8:00PM on a Thursday until 8:00AM on a Friday, you will need to restrict access from 20:00 on Thursday until 24:00 on Thursday and then restrict access from 00:00 on Friday until 08:00 on Friday. You will also, when you use the User Restrictions command, need to assign both of these restrictions to the users you wish to restrict to prevent overnight access. The first sample below follows this example.
To clear the restrictions from a restriction ID (restr_id), the syntax is
cr <restr_id>, clear
Sample Command and Response:
> cr A,20:00,24:00,4
JPLock01 191 08/16/90 10:20:43 Restr. ‘A’ Set > cr B,00:00,08:00,5
JPLock01 192 08/16/90 10:21:23 Restr. ‘B’ Set
>
The options for the Change Restriction command are:
restr_id | A single character from |
| used as a code to identify a time restriction. The code is then assigned to |
| the users you wish to restrict for that period using the User Restrictions |
| command described in this section. |
