About time bands
Digi TransPort routers support time bands. Time bands are used to 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.
