Hmm, not much we can do if the serial/usb device isn't even detected. 😞

@cool_corona said in killing existing (specific) fw states when rule change from disabled to enable:

d the dropdown in "schedule" is empty (always none).

So, what I'm looking for is that exactly not what I'm looking for :)

As mentioned, what I'm looking for is the ability to run a specific task when a rule is enabled or disabled. Not a schedule !

I you want a schedule, go under firewall-> schedule, create your schedule and then go back where you took your screenshot from and assign that schedule :)

@bogusexception The thing I see most often is using a bad, or failing, mini-USB cable.

The 3100 uses mini-USB, the 1100/1000 use micro-USB. The requirement is that it passes data as well as power for these models.

That is correct.
