Configure a time band
Digi TransPort routers support time bands. Time bands determine periods of time during which the
router allows activating PPP or Wi-Fi interfaces or prevents them from activating. For example, a
router in an office could be configured so that the ADSL PPP interface is only raised on weekdays.
You can apply time bands to PPP and Wi-Fi interface instances only.
Time bands are specified by a series of transition times. At each of these times, routing is either
enabled or disabled. The default state for a time band is On, which means that PPP instances that are
associated with unconfigured time bands will operate normally.
The router supports four time band configurations.
Whenever a time band transition occurs, an entry is made in the event log.
É Web
1. Go to Configuration > Network >Timebands.
2. Several Timebands n pages configure one time band instance each. Configuration is controlled
by a table, with the following parameters. You can configure up to 10 time band transitions.
Days
A set of checkboxes for selecting the days of the week to which the time band transitions
apply. You can select days individually or in groups for convenience. To select all the days of the
week, check the All checkbox. To select the weekend only, check the Sat->Sun checkbox. To
select weekdays only, check the Mon->Fri checkbox.
Time
The transition time, specified in 24-hour format with a colon separator between hours and
minutes.
State
The routing state, which can be On or Off. For convenience, this parameter toggles state for
each new addition; if an On transition is configured, the default state for the next addition is
Off. Clicking the Add button adds the entry into the table. Once an entry is added to the table,
remove it by clicking the associated Delete button. To activate this time band instance,
navigate to the associated PPP Timeband configuration page, and click the Enable checkbox,
or enter the equivalent command line command.
