Defining service schedules
The Scheduled services headings access records that allow you to define service by the time of
day and day of week for the following services:
• “Configuring ringing service” on page 496
• “Configuring restriction service” on page 499
• “Configuring routing service” on page 501
The headings found under “Defining common schedule settings” on page 491 allow you to
determine the schedule names and times for the scheduled services.
Note: To use scheduled services, you must define a control telephone for the telephone you want
to use to turn on schedules. Control sets are defined in the DN records under System DNs .
Each of the three services has six schedules that you can customize. The names and start/stop
times of schedules are the same for all services. For example, if a Monday schedule is set to run
the Night schedule from 18:00 to 24:00, it will run this schedule for all services that have Night
schedules set to Automatic, and which have been turned on at the control telephone.
For example, you may want to combine alternate call ringing with alternate dialing restrictions for
lunchtime, evenings, and weekends (Schedules 1, 2, and 3). Then you may want to run alternate
call routing using three separate schedules.
Once you have programmed the different services and schedules, you can turn each of the services
on separately. For example, the Night schedule might control both Ringing service and Restriction
service. But you can turn on just the Ringing service part of the Night schedule if you wish.
You can activate the services from the designated control telephone for each telephone and line in
your system. You can have one control telephone for the whole system, or different control
telephones for different telephones and lines.
If you want to have several services active at the same time, simply program them on for the same
schedule.
Note: To program services from a telephone, you require an access code. Refer to “Defining the
service control password” on page 491 .
