You are finished configuring the once-only options. Return to the Add Scheduled Connection screen to continue.
• In the Add Scheduled Connection screen, select Use Connection Profile and choose from the list of
connection profiles you have already created. A scheduled connection must be associated with a
connection profile to be useful. The connection profile becomes active during the times specified in the
associated scheduled connection, if any exists.
• Select ADD SCHEDULED CONNECTION to save the current scheduled connection. Select CANCEL to exit
the Add Scheduled Connection screen without saving the new scheduled connection.

Connections screen to display a table of scheduled connections.

(except that ADD SCHEDULED CONNECTION and CANCEL do not appear). To find out how to set them, see
“Adding a scheduled connection” on page 2-17.
Deleting a scheduled connection
To delete a scheduled connection, select Delete Scheduled Connection in the Scheduled Connections screen
to display a table of scheduled connections.
Select a scheduled connection from the table and press the Return key to delete it. To exit the table without

Priority Queuing (TOS bit)
Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 offers the ability to prioritize delay-sensitive data over the WAN link.
Certain types of IP packets, such as voice or multimedia packets, are sensitive to latency introduced by the
network. This means that if such packets are not received rapidly, the quality of service degrades. If you expect
to route significant amounts of such traffic you can configure your router to prioritize this type of traffic using the
priority queuing feature.
To configure your router to prioritize delay-sensitive data, navigate to the Advanced Connection Options screen
in the console menu.
The Advanced Connection Options screen appears.
