Scheduling the Bandwidth Throttle


This feature increases your management flexibility on the DS-System. Instead of assigning a fixed 'Bandwidth Throttle', the level can be adjusted at different times during the week according to a Bandwidth Throttle Schedule. These details can be down to the minute, allowing you very precise 24/7 bandwidth control.

The Bandwidth Throttle Schedules can be accessed from any of the different screens where you can select a Bandwidth Throttle setting:

1. In the Bandwidth Throttle section of the corresponding screen, select "Scheduled" from the drop down list beside 'To DS-System' or 'From DS-System'. Click the [...] button that appears beside the drop down list.

2. The Select Bandwidth Throttle Schedule screen appears. The highlighted schedule (if any) will appear in the Calendar Display on the right side of the screen.

F1 Help: See "Select Bandwidth Throttle Schedule".

3. To create a new schedule, click New.

To edit a schedule, highlight the one you want and click Edit.

4. The right-side of the screen switches to allow you to edit the schedule details.

5. To create a Detail, click New Detail(s).

To edit a Detail, highlight the one you want and click Edit Detail(s).

6. The Bandwidth Throttle Schedule Detail screen appears.

F1 Help: See "New / Edit Bandwidth Throttle Schedule Detail".

7. Select the day(s), start time, and throttle level for this Schedule Detail. Click OK.

8. The Schedule Details list updates with the changes.

9. Continue adding or editing Details until you have the Schedule you want. Click Add / Update Schedule.

10. The screen changes back to its Calendar Display.

11. Click Select to choose the highlighted Bandwidth Throttle Schedule. The screen closes and your selection appears to the right of the "Scheduled" drop down list.
