2.2.3 Time Service
Description
Time service modes are used by many PBX features to determine how they will function during different
times of day. For example, incoming calls can be directed to sales staff during the day and to a Voice
Processing System (VPS) at night, extension users can be prohibited from making long-distance calls
during lunch time, etc.
There are 3 time service modes—day, night, and lunch. The start times of each time service mode and end
time of lunch mode are programmed for each day of the week in a Time Table.
1. Time Service Switching Mode
The current time service mode can switch automatically to another time service mode at the time
assigned in the Time Table. It is possible, however, to switch time service modes manually.
Whether time service modes are normally switched manually or automatically is determined through
system programming ( Time Service Switching Mode [006]).
2. Time Table
A Time Table has 3 modes—day, night, and lunch. A Time Table can be programmed to control when
each time service mode starts (and therefore, the previous time service mode ends), and can be
programmed separately for each day of the week.
[Programming Example: Time Table]
