Times A

FTGateOffice has two sets of scheduled connect times: Times A and Times B. Domains|Internet has a tab for each of them. This page explains the configuration of both Times A and Times B.

 

This section allows you to define the times this schedule will connect. There are 2 main options. You can define a regular time interval to establish the connection, say every 30 minutes, between the times to suit you, or there is the option to define the times as required. There is a limit of 42 connection times.

 

The properties are:

 

Property

Description

Connect on

 

Check the boxes corresponding to the days on which you wish this schedule to connect.

Connect from

 

This allows you to define the times of the day on which you wish this schedule to connect. e.g. 08:00

To

The time of last connection for that day by this schedule, e.g. 16:00

Every

 

Then define the period between the connections e.g. 30 minutes, select æMinsÆ or every 2 hours, select æhrsÆ

 

Note: It is only possible to add 42 entries to this field. Should you require more connections per day than this, you can use another schedule. An example would be for a connection every 15 minutes from 07:00 to 18:00. This would require 44 connections. You can either increase the time between connections or use the other schedule for some of them.

Adding standard times

To add standard times, enter the From time, and the To time, then enter the period between connections, select Mins or Hrs (minutes or hours). Then click the æAdd standard timesÆ  button to add the defined times to the connection times in the æConnecting AtÆ list.

 

So from the examples above if you define the following settings:

 

From

08:00

To

16:00

Every

30

And select

Mins (Minutes)

 

You would see connection times of 08:00, 08:30, 09:00, à appear in the æConnecting atÆ list after pressing the æAdd standard timesÆ button.  Setting the æEveryÆ time to 1 and selecting hrs (hour) would result in connection times 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, à

Connect At

This option allows you to define specific times, e.g. entering 08:00 and clicking the æAdd timeÆ button, would result in a connection time of 08:00 being added to the æConnecting atÆ list. Add as many times as you require using this option.

Removing entries

To remove one of the times defined in the æConnecting AtÆ list, follow these steps:

  1. Select the times to be deleted.

  2. Click the æDeleteÆ button.

The selected time will be deleted from the list.

Removing all entries

To delete all the times in the æConnecting AtÆ list, click the æDelete allÆ button.
