Attribute Value Description
Service setting Off
Manual
Auto
Manual allows you to turn the service on and off at any time from a control
telephone. This setting overrides any automatically-running schedules.
Example: You may have a restriction service Night schedule that prevents
callers from making long distance calls. Since the Manual setting does not
recognize any timing schedules, you can turn this service on at any time and it
will be in effect immediately. To allow long distance calls, you would turn this
service off at the control telephone, or specify a different schedule that contains
a different set of restrictions.
Auto allows you to program a stop and start time for a service under the
Common Settings heading. These times are then automatically executed when
the service is active.
Example: If you want your evening calls to be routed through a different carrier,
you can create the timing for this on one of the spare schedules. You would then
find the same schedule under Routing Service and set it to automatic. When you
turn Routing Service on, and choose this schedule, the telephone will
automatically route all calls through the alternate carrier for the times specified.
Off prevents the service from being activated.
