Time Ranges
Time ranges in WinRoute are closely related to traffic policy rules (see chapter Traffic Policy). WinRoute allows the administrator to set a time period where each rule will be applied. These time ranges are actually groups that can consist of any number of various intervals and single actions.
Using time ranges you can also set dial-up parameters see chapter Interfaces.
To define time ranges go to Configuration / Definitions / Time Ranges.
Time range types
Three types of time intervals can be used to define time ranges:
Absolute
The time interval is defined with the initial and expiration date and it is not repeated
Weekly
This interval is repeated weekly (according to the day schedule)
Daily
It is repeated daily (according to the hour schedule)
Time Ranges Definition
You can create, edit or remove time ranges in Configurations / Definitions / Time Ranges.
Click on the Add button to open a dialog for time ranges definition:
