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

38.1 Introduction to Call Scheduling

The call scheduling feature allows the ZyWALL 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 videocassette
recorder (you can specify a time period for the VCR to record). 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 ZyWALL, by default, applies the lowest numbered set first. Set 2
will take precedence over set 3 and 4, and so on.
You can design up to 12 schedule sets but you can only apply up to four schedule sets for a remote
node.
To delete a schedule set, enter the set number and press
[SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] or [DEL] in the Edit Name field.
To set up a schedule set, select the schedule set you want to setup from menu 26 (1-12) and press
[ENTER] to see Menu 26.1 - Schedule Set Setup as shown next.
