Prestige 645 ADSL Internet Access Router

Chapter 13

Call Scheduling

This chapter shows you how to set up call time periods for remote nodes.

13.1 Introduction

The call scheduling feature allows the P645R 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 where you record programs at times that you specify. You can apply up to four schedule sets in Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile.

Figure 13-1 Schedule Setup

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 sets 2, 3 and 4 as the P645R, by default, applies the lowest numbered set first. Set 2 will take precedence over sets 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.
