Schedule The DFL-80 Office Firewall allows the Administrator to configure a schedule for policies to take affect. By creating a schedule, the Administrator is allowing the Firewall policies to be used at those designated times only. Any activities outside of the scheduled time slot will not follow the Firewall policies therefore will likely not be permitted to pass through the Firewall. The Administrator can configure the start time and stop time periods in a day. For example, an organization may only want the Firewall to allow the internal network users to access the Internet during work hours. Therefore, the Administrator may create a schedule to allow the Firewall to work MondayFriday, 8AM-5PM only. During the non-work hours, the Firewall will not allow Internet access.

Schedule
The DFL-80 Office Firewall allows the Administrator to configure a schedule
for policies to take affect.
By creating a schedule, the Administrator is
allowing the Firewall policies to be used at those designated times only.
Any
activities outside of the scheduled time slot will not follow the Firewall policies
therefore will likely not be permitted to pass through the Firewall.
The
Administrator can configure the start time and stop time periods in a day.
For example, an organization may only want the Firewall to allow the internal
network users to access the Internet during work hours.
Therefore, the
Administrator may create a schedule to allow the Firewall to work Monday-
Friday, 8AM-5PM only.
During the non-work hours, the Firewall will not allow
Internet access.
