Day/Night Mode – Auto Schedule
System Availability: All systems
The system has three operating modes that are based on the time-of-day, day-of-the-week, and up
to 128 holiday schedules. The operating modes are Day, Day2, and Night. Each mode controls the
routing of incoming line calls and settings for station and line Class Of Service restrictions. The
system can be programmed to use all three modes, Day/Night mode only, or just the Day mode. The
system switches automatically from one mode to the next based on the system’s time-of-day clock.
Example Day/Night Mode Applications:
• Incoming Calls – Incoming line call routing of individual DID and DNIS numbers or ground/
loop start lines change their ringing destinations automatically according to the date and time of
day.
For example: On workdays, calls are routed to the attendant, individual telephones, ACD groups,
etc., until 5:00 p.m. After 5:00 p.m., calls are routed off-premise to another office, to the Night
Bell, or to night announcements and voice mail message boxes. On holidays and weekends, calls
are routed independently to the appropriate holiday announcements or voice mail message boxes.
• Class Of Service – Station, lines, and DID numbers are assigned 38 options in Class of Service.
These include Toll Restriction, Override privileges, allowed tandem connection, security code
administration, etc. Any of these options can be changed independently for each telephone, line
and DID number when the system switches from one operating mode to another.
For example: When the system changes from the Day to Night mode, selected stations can be
automatically restricted from dialing outside or long distance calls. Note that outgoing route
selections set in LCR are switched using a route selection schedule that is independent of the
Day/Night mode schedule.
• System Call Forward – The System Call Forward settings for stations can be changed
automatically when the system changes from the Day to Night mode. For example: During the
day, a telephone can forward to a person’s car or cell phone, and at night automatically forward
to the person’s voice mailbox.
• Tenant Services – Up to eight different tenants can each have different attendant or night bell
assignments for day-of-the week schedules using Day 1, Day 2, or Day 3 modes. This feature
is enabled in system programming.
The system also enables users to manually change the Day/Night operating mode, even if the
system is using the Auto Schedule feature. A
Night Transfer button can be set on telephones for
manually switching at any time from one mode to another. The button’s LED flash rate indicates
the system’s operating mode.
If used with the System Auto Schedule operation, the
Night Transfer button overrides the
current Auto Schedule mode. However, when it is time for the system to switch to another mode
per the Auto Schedule timer, the system will switch to the mode set by the Auto Schedule.
Example: If the system is switched from Day to Night at 2 p.m. manually with the Night Transfer
button (Auto Schedule is set to switch from Day to Night at 6 p.m.), the system will still
automatically switch back to the Day mode at 8 a.m. the next morning per the Auto Schedule.
