Scope of Scheduler Rules
The scope of scheduler rules is described below.
•
A rule that sets only a specific day does not affect the other days.
•
A rule that uses groups such as “Daily,” “Weekday,” or “Weekend” affects multiple
days.
•
A rule you set for “Weekend” would only affect Saturday and Sunday while the rest of
the days are unaffected. The default scheduler behavior is that the radio is enabled
when there is no explicit rule on that day control how long the radio should be enabled.
•
The design of the scheduler feature is such that each rule sets a boundary on when a
radio or VAP is enabled.
•
The “Day of the Week” entry creates the scope for the rules. The rule ONLY impacts
the defined scope. Weekend meaning only Sunday and Saturday. Daily meaning every
day, etc. When setting the rules, the “Day of the Week” GUI entry defines the rule
scope: Weekend, Daily, WeekDay, Sunday, Monday, etc.
•
This allows for detailed rules. There is no implicit deny all rule created when a scope
does not include every day of the week. Create a “deny” or “disable” rule by setting
the appropriate scope to be enabled only for 1 minute.To have the radio or VAP
disabled all the time EXCEPT for explicitly allowed times would require a “Daily”
