About time bands
Digi TransPort routers support time bands. Time bands determine periods of time during which PPP
interfaces allowed or prevented from activating. For example, a router in an office could be
configured so that the ADSL PPP interface is only raised on weekdays.
Time bands can only be applied to PPP instances.
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.
Enable and disable time bands for a PPP instance
On the Configuration > Network > Timebands page, enabling and disabling time bands for a
particular PPP or Wi-Fi instance is controlled by the settings in a table having the following columns:
Interface
Lists the available PPP instances.
Enable
This column contains checkboxes; each checkbox controls whether or not time bands are
enabled for the PPP instance in the left-hand column of the row. Check the checkbox to enable
time bands for the associated PPP instance.
