and press Return. The Add Scheduled Connection screen appears.
Follow these steps to configure the new scheduled connection:
To activate the connection, select Scheduled Connection Enable and toggle it to On. You can make the

Decide how often the connection should take place by selecting How Often and choosing Weekly or Once
Only from the pop-up menu.
The Schedule Type allows you to set the exact weekly schedule or once-only schedule.
Options are:
Forced Up, meaning that this connection will be maintained whether or not there is a demand call on
the line.
Forced Down, meaning that this connection will be torn down or blocked whether or not there is a
demand call on the line.
Demand-Allowed, meaning that this schedule will permit a demand call on the line.
Demand-Blocked, meaning that this schedule will prevent a demand call on the line.
Periodic, meaning that the connection is retried several times during the scheduled time.
If How Often is set to Weekly, the item directly below How Often reads Set Weekly Schedule. If How Often
is set to Once Only, the item directly below How Often reads Set Once-Only Schedule.
