Link Schedule

Use the Link Schedule dialog box to select, create, and edit link profiles, which determine when the link is open and closed. By opening an expensive link (such as a long-distance phone line) only when rates are low, you can reduce the cost of the link.

Link Schedule Grid
Displays the schedule for this direct link. The grid consists of half-hour time slots and shows the link profile assigned to each time slot. Available link profiles are listed below the link schedule grid.

Each link profile defines the following values to set the conditions under which the link opens:

• Which message queues to monitor
• Maximum wait time for any message in any monitored queue
• Maximum number of waiting messages allowed in all monitored queues
• Maximum total size of waiting messages allowed in all monitored queues

The currently selected link profile shows as green in the link schedule grid. All other profiles show as gray. Select a different link profile to display its schedule in green. The default profile shows as white. The default profile is in effect at all times when no other profile has been selected.

To select a link profile for a time slot in the link schedule grid, select the profile, then click a time slot or drag to select a range of time slots.

To clear a time slot or range, select the default profile for it.
