Creating a Dial-Up Schedule
After you enable the Internet Agent to use a dial-up connection, you need to schedule the times
when the Internet Agent initiates a connection.
NOTE: When the Internet Agent initiates a connection, it simply passes TCP/IP packets to the
routing service that makes the Internet connection. The routing software, not the Internet Agent, is
responsible for the actual dial-up or timeout.
The Internet Agent uses profiles to enable you to assign different dial-up criteria to different times.
For example, the default profile instructs the Internet Agent to initiate a dial-up connection
whenever an outgoing message is placed in its send queue. However, during the night, you might
want the Internet Agent to initiate a connection only after 30 outgoing messages have been queued.
In this case, you could create a profile that requires 30 messages to be queued and then apply the
profile between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. each day.
To create a dial-up schedule:
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties.
2 Click SMTP/MIME > Scheduling.
