Configuring Server Blackout Periods

Blackout periods are times when communication between the enterprise server and distributed servers is prohibited. The device servers cannot contact the enterprise server until the blackout is released. Use the options in the eServer Status dialog box to configure blackout periods between the enterprise server and the device servers.

You can also throttle the device servers, which reduces the number of messages sent to the enterprise server. When the device servers are throttled, they do not send device status updates to the enterprise server. Throttling device servers may be useful in situations where you plan on temporary high bandwidth usage, such as a big server synchronization.

The following tasks configure server blackout periods:
