## 14.2 Time Ranges

Time ranges in WinRoute are closely related to traffic policy rules (see chapter 7 Traffic Policy). WinRoute allows the administrator to set a time period where each rule will be applied. These time ranges are actually groups that can consist of any number of various intervals and single actions.

Using time ranges you can also set dial-up parameters — see chapter 5 Network interfaces.

To define time ranges go to Configuration → Definitions → Time Ranges.

Figure 14.3. WinRoute's time intervals

### Time range types

When defining a time interval three types of time ranges (subintervals) can be used:

Absolute

  The time interval is defined with the initial and expiration date and it is not repeated

Weekly

  This interval is repeated weekly (according to the day schedule)

Daily

  It is repeated daily (according to the hour schedule)

### Defining Time Intervals

Time ranges can created, edited and removed in Configuration → Definitions → Time Ranges.

Clicking on the Add button will display the following dialog window:
