CONFIGURING DIAL-UP SCHEDULER
To configure the dial-up scheduler you must first select from the dial-up schedules by clicking on the Periodic Scheduling or Fixed Time Scheduling button.
NOTE: If the Fixed Time Scheduling is being displayed on your screen, it means that your current dial-up schedule is Periodic Scheduling.
If the Periodic Scheduling is being displayed on your screen, it means that your current dial-up schedule is Fixed Time Scheduling.
After selecting your preferred dial-up schedule, simply follow the procedure below:
1. Select the day(s) when the Dial-up Scheduler should run. Clicking all the check boxes specify that dial-up is to be executed every Sunday up to Saturday.
2. Specify the hour and the minute settings.
3. Enable the "Only if mail queued" option by clicking the check box. This will allow the Dial-up Scheduler to check if there are mail queued in the SMTP Out queue before establishing a dial-up connection. If there is no mail in the queue, the Dial-up Scheduler will not attempt the dial-up. You may also leave the box unchecked.
4. Specify the "start time" and the "end time" of the periodic dial-up schedule. Periodic dial-ups will be allowed within this time interval.
5. Click on the Whole Day button to enable the periodic dial-up schedule to remain active throughout the whole day.
6. Activate the "Automatic RAS dial-up and hang-up" option to enable the RAS support. With this function enabled, Internet Exchange automatically starts a RAS connection during gateway start-up. When the gateway shuts down, the RAS connection will terminate automatically.
7. Select the "Modules to Start"SMTPC, SMTPD, BSMTPby clicking its box.
8. Specify the "Hang-up Time" (in minutes) when the RAS Dial-up Scheduler should hang-up a connection after a connection has been established.
9. Activate/Deactivate the "Use different schedule on weekends" option.
This option, when enabled, specifies that a different dial-up schedule is to be used for the weekends (i.e. Saturdays and Sundays). The schedule for the weekends can be configured by clicking on the Weekend Schedule button.
