Scheduling the bandwidth throttle
This feature increases your management flexibility on the DS-System. Instead of assigning a fixed bandwidth throttle, the level can be adjusted at different times during the week according to a schedule. These details can be down to the minute, allowing you very precise 24/7 bandwidth control.
The bandwidth throttle schedules can be accessed from any of the different dialog boxes where you can select a bandwidth throttle setting:
• Bandwidth Throttle dialog box
• DS-System Configuration - Default tab
• DS-System Configuration - DS-NOC tab
• Enter defaults for new DS-Clients dialog box
• DS-Client - Parameters tab
To schedule a bandwidth throttle:
1. In the Bandwidth Throttle section of the corresponding dialog box, select Scheduled in the To DS-System or From DS-System box and then click the [...] button that appears beside it.
The Select Bandwidth Throttle Schedule dialog box appears. The selected schedule (if any) will appear in the calendar display on the right side of the dialog box.
2. To create a new schedule, click New.
To edit a schedule, select the one you want and click Edit.
3. In the Bandwidth Throttle Schedule box, configure the schedule name.
4. To create a schedule detail, click New Detail(s).
To edit a schedule detail, select the one you want and click Edit Detail(s).
To edit multiple details with the same start time and bandwidth throttle level, select one of the details and click Select Group and then, click Edit Detail(s).
The Bandwidth Throttle Schedule Detail dialog box appears.
• Select the day and time to start, and the bandwidth throttle level and then click OK.
The Details list updates with your changes.
5. Continue configuring details until you have the schedule you want, then click Add Schedule or Update Schedule.
6. The dialog box changes back to its calendar display.
• In the Display interval box, you can adjust the display settings to see what throttling will occur at different times during the week with this schedule.
7. Click Select to choose the selected bandwidth throttle schedule.
In the original dialog box, your selection appears to the right of the Scheduled box.
