Auto Connect Interval (mins):

Default = 0 (disabled). Range = 0 to 99999 minutes.

This field defines how often this Service will automatically be called ("polled"). For example setting 60 means the system will call this Service every hour in the absence of any normally generated call (this timer is reset for every call; therefore if the service is already connected, then no additional calls are made). This is ideal for SMTP Mail polling from Internet Service Providers.

Auto Connect Time Profile

Default = <None>

Allows the selection of any configured Time Profiles. The selected profile controls the time period during which automatic connections to the service are made. It does NOT mean that connection to that service is barred outside of these hours.  For example, if a time profile called "Working Hours" is selected, where the profile is defined to be 9:00AM to 6:00PM Monday to Friday, then automatic connection to the service will not be made unless its within the defined profile. If there is an existing connection to the service at 9:00AM, then the connection will continue. If there is no connection, then an automatic connection will be made at 9:00AM.
