Update Restrictions

For more control over bandwidth usage, restrict device-to-server updates by using blackout windows. During a device-to-server blackout, the mobile devices are not allowed to communicate with a Mobile Device Server.

To create an update restriction:

From the Profiles tab, click the name of the mobile device profile you want to configure.

The Mobile Device Profile Details page appears.

In the Update Restrictions panel, click Add.

The New Update Restrictions Window dialog box appears.

Select the start time and duration (in minutes) of the restriction window, and enable the boxes for the days you want the restriction to apply.

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.

Save your changes.
