6.6. SCHEDULED SLEEP

6.6 Scheduled sleep

The Scheduled Sleep feature allows users to con

ﬁ

gure the receiver in such a way that it will

sleep for a prede

ﬁ

ned amount of time and/or during a number of prede

ﬁ

ned intervals.

6.6.1 Conﬁguring scheduled sleep

Step 1: Conﬁgure a new Wake-Up Schedule

On the menu bar select âĂ

StationâĂ

and then âĂ

Power ModeâĂ

. Next, click on the

âĂ

SchedulingâĂ

-tab. Here you can con

ﬁ

gure a full âĂ

Wake-Up ScheduleâĂ

as shown

in Figure 6-16.

Figure 6-16:

Overview of the Wake-Up Schedule

The Wake-Up schedule allows you to con

ﬁ

gure both the length of the period the receiver

should be awake and whether or not this wake-up period should recur, and if so, how
frequently (See Figure 6-17).
