Configuration Guide Configuring RF Scheduling
Working Principle
Before using the scheduling function, a scheduling session needs to be created first to specify the time for RF scheduling.
Then the scheduling session can be applied to an AP RF interface or WLAN.
Configuring a Scheduling Session
First, you need to create a scheduling session and specify the time and cycle.
For example, in the preceding example, if you want to provide wireless access services only in the daytime to teaching
building, you can first create a scheduling session to specify the cycle as every day, and the scheduling interval as a
period at night, for example, 21:00 to 6:00. If you want to provide WLAN services to customers of a bank only in the
business hours of workdays, you can create a scheduling session to specify the cycle as workdays, and the scheduling
time interval as off hours, for example, 18:00 to 9:00; and you can create the other cycle as weekends, and the scheduling
interval as all day.
1.3.2 Scheduling AP RF
Enable or disable AP RF periodically.
Working Principle
Before using the scheduling function, a scheduling session needs to be created first to specify the time for RF scheduling.
Then you can apply the scheduling session to an AP RF interface.
When the scheduling session starts or ends, the system sends a scheduling message. The processing logic of the
scheduling message will enable or disable the RF interface of an AP where this scheduling session is applied.
Applying a Scheduling Session on an RF Interface
After a scheduling session is created, it must be applied to the corresponding AP RF interface so that the scheduling can
take effect.
Handling of a Scheduling Message
After a scheduling session is created and the cycle and interval are specified, the system will start the timer of the
scheduling session, and send a message after entering or exiting from this scheduling session. A scheduling message
includes the following information:
Scheduling Session ID
Message type: the scheduling state, including entering and exiting from the scheduling session
1.3.3 Scheduling WLAN
Enable or disable a WLAN periodically.
Working Principle
Before using the scheduling function, a scheduling session needs to be created first to specify the time for WLAN
scheduling. Then the scheduling session can be applied to a WLAN.
