5.10 Setting the Answer Position for Day and Evening
The DX-80 system has several ringing modes to allow flexible ringing patterns depending on office conditions.
The ringing modes available are: DAY, EVEning, ALTernate, and TIME. You can program the day and evening
modes for ringing assignments as required in these two operational conditions.
• DAY—this is the ringing pattern for CO line ringing assignments while the system is in day mode.
• EVE—this is the ringing pattern for CO Line ringing assignments while the system is in evening mode.
• TIME—this is a scheduled time clock that automatically adjusts the mode of system operation from day mode
to evening mode, based upon pre-programmed settings in time switching.
• ALT—the alternate mode is specific to use with the optional AAM (Automated Attendant Module). This
mode re-directs callers who have dialed 0 (zero) at the auto-attendant prompt to a temporary (alternate)
destination. This is typically used for primary attendant break periods, etc.
The following conditions apply to manually changing CO ringing modes/answer positions:
• This function can only be operated at the attendant extension.
• You can assign the feature access code ( Feature 6 3 + 9999 ) to an available Flexible Feature Button at the
attendant extension to provide one button operation.
• The displays of all DETs indicate their current ringing mode. The prompts EVE and ALT above the center
LCD interactive button indicate these active modes. The DAY mode is indicated by the absence of the other
indicators.
You can also set up a schedule so that the DX-80 automatically switches the CO line answer position based on the
time of day. To do so, see Section 5.11,
Set CO Line Time Switching .
