Using Call Scheduling
Call scheduling enables the mechanisim for the Prestige to run the remote node connection according to the pre-defined schedule.This feature is just like the scheduler ina video recorder which records the program according to the specified time. Users can apply at most 4 schedule sets in Menu 11 ( Remote Node Setup), and configure each schedule in Menu 26(Schedule Setup). The remote node configured with the schedule set could be "Forced On", "Forced Down", "Enable Dial-On-Demand", or "Disable Dial-On-Demand" on specified date and time.
1. Edit the Schedule sets in menu 26:

2. Select a Schedule Set number and give it a name:

3. The Menu 26.1 Schedule Set Setup is as follows:
Menu 26.1 Schedule Set Setup Active= Yes Start Date(yyyy-mm-dd)= 2004 - 01 - 01 How Often= Once Once: Date(yyyy-mm-dd)= 2004 - 01 - 01 Weekdays: Sunday= N/A Monday= N/A Tuesday= N/A Wednesday= N/A Thursday= N/A Friday= N/A Saturday= N/A Start Time(hh:mm)= 12 : 00 Duration(hh:mm)= 16 : 00 Action= Enable Dial-on-demand Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel: |
Key Settings:
Start Date | Start date of this schedule rule. It can be unmatched with weekday setting. For example, if Start Date is 2004/10/02(Monday), but Monday setting in weekday can be No. |
How Often | If once is selected, all weekday settings will ne marked as N/A. After the rule is completely, it will be deleted automatically. |
Forced On | The node will always keep up during the setting period. It is equivalent to diable the idel timeout. |
Forced Down | The node will always keep doen during the setting period. The connected remote node will be dropped. |
Enable Dial-On-Demand | The remote node accepts Dial-on-demand during this period. |
Disable Dial-On-Demand | The remote node denies any demand dial during the period. For the existing connected nodes, it will be dropped after idle timeout and no triggered up. |
Start Time/ Duration | Start Time and Duration of this schedule. |
Multiple scheduling rules can program in a Remote node, and they have priority. For example, if we program the sets as 1,2,3,4 in remote node, then the set 1 will override set 2,3,4. set 2 will override 3,4, and so on.

There is no RTC (Real-Time Clock) chip so the Prestige should launch a mechanism to get current time and date from external server in boot time. Time service is implemented by the Daytime protocol(RFC-867), Time protocol(RFC-868), and NTP protocol(RFC-1305). You have to assign an IP address of a time server and then, the Prestige will get the date, time, and time-zone information from this server.
