13.7.1 Time Period Examples
Since a time period does not span across days, if you wanted a schedule for off-duty hours on
weekdays, you would need two time periods. One time period covering weekday mornings
(for example Monday to Friday, 12:00 Midnight to 9:00 AM). The other time period covering
weekday evenings (for example Monday to Friday, 9:00 PM to 11:59 PM).
You may need to split into different time periods to have the schedule cover different times on
specific days. For example, say you want to give Internet access to the LAN computers from
6:00 AM to 8:00 AM on all weekdays except Wednesdays. Since the days are not continuos,
you use two different time periods. Add Monday to Tuesday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM in time
period 1, and Thursday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM in time period 2.
If you would like to have an overnight schedule like 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM everyday, the time
schedule needs to be broken into two pieces. You may add a Sunday to Saturday from 10:30
PM to 11:59 PM as time period 1, and Sunday to Saturday from 12:00 Midnight to 6:00 AM as
time period 2.

Name
Specify a unique name to identify this schedule. Use up to 15 alphanumeric
characters. Underscores (_) and hyphens (-) are also allowed but other special
characters and spaces are not.
Time Period 1~3 Use the drop-down list boxes to specify up to three time periods.
Select upon which days of the week and during which times the schedule applies.
The schedule repeats on those days every week. So if you select Monday to
Tuesday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the schedule covers the hours from 9:00 AM to
5:00 PM on all Mondays and Tuesdays. It does not mean the time from Monday
9:00 AM to Tuesday 5:00 PM. See Section 13.7.1 on page 99 for more examples.
