Configuring Blackouts

To allow you more control over bandwidth usage, Avalanche uses blackout windows and update restrictions in the Mobile Device Server profile. During a server-to-server blackout, the Mobile Device Server is not allowed to communicate with the Enterprise Server. During a device-to-server restriction, the Mobile Device Server is not allowed to communicate with mobile devices.

To create a blackout/exclusion window:

1   From the Profiles tab, click on the Mobile Device Server profile from the Available Profile panel.
2   The Mobile Device Server Profile Details page appears. Click Edit.
3   If you want to create a server-to-server blackout window, click the New button in the Server-to-Server Communications Restrictions panel.

- Or -

If you want to create a device-to-server exclusion window, click the New button in the Device-to-Server Communication Restrictions panel.

4   The New Blackout/Exclusion Window dialog box appears. Type the start and end time of the blackout window. Enable the boxes for the days you want the blackout to apply and click Save.

Note:   Blackout windows are scheduled using a 24-hour clock. If you create a window where the start time is later than the end time, the window will continue to the end time on the following day. For example, if you scheduled a window for 20:00 to 10:00 on Saturday, it would run from Saturday 20:00 until Sunday 10:00.
