Schedules It is possible to configure a schedule for policies to take effect. By creating a schedule, the DFL700 allows the firewall policies to be used only at those designated times. Any activities outside of the scheduled time slot will not follow the policies and therefore will not likely be permitted to pass through the firewall. The DFL-700 can be configured to have a start time and stop time, as well as 2 different 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, one may create a schedule to allow the firewall to allow traffic Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM only. During the non-work hours, the firewall will not allow Internet access. Add new recurring schedule Follow these steps to add a new recurring schedule. Step 1. Go to Firewall and Schedules and choose Add new. Step 2. Enable the checkbox named Recurring scheduling. Step 3. Use the checkboxes to set the times this schedule should be active. Click the Apply button below to apply the changes or click Cancel to discard changes.

The DFL-700 can be
