WebUI
1. Log into the IX10 WebUI as a user with full Admin access rights.
2. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.
The Configuration window is displayed.
3. Click System > Scheduled tasks > System maintenance.
4. For Start time, type the time of day that the maintenance window should start, using the
syntax HH:MM. If Start time is not set, maintenance tasks are not scheduled and will not be
run.
The behavior of Start time varies depending on the setting of Duration window, which is
configured in the next step.
If Duration window is set to Immediately, all scheduled tasks will begin at the exact
n
time specified in Start time.
If Duration window is set to 24 hours, Start time is effectively obsolete and the
n
maintenance tasks will be scheduled to run at any time. Setting Duration window to 24
hours can potentially overstress the device and should be used with caution.
