Call Scheduling

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

23.1 Introduction

The call scheduling feature allows the Prestige 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 that lets you specify times to record programs. 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 are applied in the remote node then set 1 will take precedence over set 2, 3 and 4 as the Prestige, by default, applies the lowest numbered set first. Set 2 will take precedence over set 3 and 4, and so on.

You can configure up to twelve schedule sets and apply up to four schedule sets for a remote node.

To delete a schedule set, enter the set number and press [SPACE BAR] or[DELETE] in the Edit Name field.
