5.11 Set CO Line Time Switching
You can program the system to follow a seven day, twenty-four hour, time schedule that automatically switches
incoming CO lines to their programmed Day, Evening or Alternate ringing status and destinations. The pro-
grammed timed switching of ringing modes is flexible and can be broken down into individual tenant groups.
Note : You can also manually change the CO line ring mode. See Section 5.10, Setting the Answer Position for
Day and Evening for more details.
The following conditions apply to time switching.
• You must program the time settings for seven day a week
• The system ringing mode must be set to Time Mode for Automatic CO Line Ringing.
• The time you enter when programming time switching is the time of day that the system changes the service
mode to the associated service mode.
The system by default operates in the Day mode operation. Therefore, if you do not use time switching, the system
remains in day mode until manually switched to evening or alternate mode. It then remains in that mode until you
manually switch it again.
The default Time Switching programming is set so the system operates in day mode from 8am to 5pm, Monday
through Friday; alternate mode from 12noon to 1pm, Monday through Friday; and evening mode at all other times.
You can, of course, change these settings; for example if you do not want the system to use a different extension
during the lunchtime hours, you can do away with the alternate mode.
Once programmed, time switching needs no user intervention. The current mode of operation is displayed for easy
identification and verification. The system displays the service modes from the Attendant station only, as follows:
Day Mode Display:
JUN 22 THU 5:13
EXT 105
Alternate Mode Display:
JUN 22 THU 5:13
EXT ALT 105
Evening Mode Display:
JUN 22 THU 5:13
EXT EVE 105
