Click
View NCP Server , then click an NCP Server object.
4 Click Add Policy .
5 Select 1-3am.wmg from the list of predefined policies, then click OK twice.
The policy is displayed in the Policy text box, which lets you make changes. For example, if
you want to limit traffic to 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. rather than from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., make
the following changes:
/* This policy limits all traffic to between 2 and 5 pm */
LOCAL BOOLEAN Selected;
SELECTOR
Selected := Now.hour >= 2 AND Now.hour < 17;
IF Selected THEN
RETURN 50; /* between 2am and 5pm this policy has a
high priority */
ELSE
RETURN 1; /* return 1 instead of 0 in case there are
no other policies */
/* if no policies return > 0, WanMan assumes
SEND */
END
END
PROVIDER
IF Selected THEN
RETURN SEND; /* between 2am and 5pm, SEND */
ELSE
RETURN DONT_SEND; /* other times, don’t */
END
END
In the comment lines (set off with /* and */), the hour can be designated using a.m. and p.m. In
the active code, however, it must be designated using 24-hour format. In that case, 5:00 p.m.
becomes 17.
