IV-2-1 Schedule
The VigorAP has a built-in clock that can update itself manually or automatically using Network Time
Protocols (NTP). As a result, you can not only schedule the AP to dial-up to the Internet at a specified
time but also restrict Internet access to certain hours so that users can connect to the Internet only
during certain hours, say, business hours. The schedule is also applicable to other functions.
You have to set your time before setting the schedule. In System Maintenance>> Time and
Date menu, press Inquire Time button to set the VigorAP’s clock to the current time of your PC. The
clock will reset once if you power down or reset the AP. There is another way to set up a time. You
can inquiry about an NTP server (a time server) on the Internet to synchronize the AP’s clock. This
method can only be applied when the WAN connection has been built up.
Available settings are explained as follows:
