Call Scheduling

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

24.1 Introduction

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 video cassette 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.

Lower numbered sets take precedence over higher numbered sets thereby avoiding scheduling conflicts. For example, if sets 1, 2 ,3 and 4 in 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 twelve schedule sets but you can only apply up to four schedule sets for a remote node.
