Comtech EF Data Vipersat Circuit Scheduler v3.7.x ArrangeLink - Manual (Page 51)

Chapter 3 - Using ArrangeLink 3-9
Schedule Setup
Schedule Name
Enter a name for the event that is being scheduled in the Schedule Name box.
The name entered is used to identify this event. This field entry defaults to a
name consisting of the current date and time.
Time Zone Profile
The time reference for this event can be specified from the pull-down menu as
one of the following:
• 1 Pacific Time
• 2 Eastern Time
• 3 Greenwich Time
First Occurrence
Select either Yes or No from the pull-down menu, depending on whether or not
this is a first occurrence for a recurring event.
Exclusion Profile
Although this feature appears as a settable option, it is not supported in v3.7.2 of
the VMS.
Max. Execution Delay
The time interval specified for the Maximum Execution Delay parameter
ensures that an event will still be executed, even if a delay should occur beyond
the scheduled start time—caused by the VMS being temporarily unavailable,
for example. However, if the delay exceeds this interval, the event will not be
executed.
The default value for this parameter is 600 seconds (10 minutes). This entry
should be set to an interval that is less than the specified duration of the event.
When the scheduled start time for the event occurs, the VMS will attempt to set
up the defined circuit and will continue to do so for the delay time interval until
either a connection is made or the event’s time allocation is exceeded
Schedule Tag
In addition to the Schedule Name, one or more Schedule Tags can be associ-
ated with an event, or a group of common events. This provides another means
for filtering events with the search function when viewing scheduled events (see
the section “Schedules” on page 3-28).
Enter any desired combination of characters to insert a Tag for the event.
