Why don't my inverted schedule periods work together in my active time

Schedule periods in active times are "or'd" together, so combining inverted times will not create the intended behavior.

The active time combines each schedule period with a logical "OR" to determine if the active time is active or not active.

The following creates an active time that is always active:

The following illustrates the merging logic. The "!" denotes inverted.

  All Day: |-------------------------|        
        A: |-----|       
       !A:       |-------------------|        
        B:                |----|       
       !B: |--------------|    |-----|   
   A or B: |-----|        |----| 
 !A or !B: |-------------------------|   This is what the gateway uses as active
!(A or B):       |--------|    |-----|   This is what was intended by the user

    Sorry,  I was not able to figure out the explanation of the illustration given with dashes.

    If multiple invertion periods don't work together then it helps if the document explains how to get it done.

    Sorry there was a formatting problem when we recreated this article. I have corrected it and it should now be clearer.
