SETTING THE PERIODIC SCHEDULE
The period scheduling when enabled, configures the Dialup Scheduler to perform periodic
dialup operations on every scheduled day.
To configure the periodic scheduling, simply follow the procedure below:
- Set the following parameters:

executed from Sunday to Sunday.

Specifies the start time and end time of the periodic dialup schedule. Periodic dialups will be allowed within this time
interval.
- Only if mail queued

connection. If the queue is empty, the Dialup Scheduler will not attempt to dial.

connection fails, the Dialup Scheduler will redial automatically until the timeout value is reached.
