Westermo routers support “time bands” which are used to determine periods of time during which
routing is allowed or prevented. For example, an office router could be configured so routing is only
allowed on weekdays. At present, time bands may only be applied to PPP instances.
Time Bands are specified by a series of “transition” times. At each of these times routing is either
ena bled or disabled. The default state for a Time Band is On which means that PPP instances that
are associated with un-configured Time Bands will operate normally.
Note:
An entry is made in the event log whenever a Time Band transition occurs.
Using the Web Page(s)
There are four Time Band instances and each page contains a table that allows you to enter up to
ten “transition” times.
Days of the week are entered in the format “Mon”, “Tue”, “Wed”, “Thu”, “Fri”, “Sat” and “Sun”. To
spec ify multiple days, separate them by a comma. Alternatively, the working days from Monday to
Friday inclusive may be entered as “MF”. Similarly, the entire week may be specified as “ALL”.
Times of the day are specified as hours and minutes in 24-hour clock format. Valid formats are:
H
HH
H:M
H:MM
HH:M
HH:MM
For example, to set up the router to allow PPP routing only on weekdays between 9:00am and
5:30pm you would set up the table for Time Band 0 as follows:
Now, at 9:00am on weekdays the state is switched to On so that routing is allowed on that Time
Band during the day. At 5:30 each evening the state is set to Off and routing is disabled until 9:00am
the following morning (or the following Monday morning after a Friday).
To activate this Time Band for a PPP instance you must now set the Time band parameter for that
instance to the appropriate value in the Configure > PPP > Standard web page.
