Defining Schedules
Define a maximum of three schedules numbered 1 through 3. A company with departments that work different hours
can create one schedule for general business hours (schedule #1), one for extended customer service hours (schedule
#2), and one for the order department (schedule #3).
A special schedule, #4, is always in the same mode. Use schedule #4 for ports or boxes that should be in the same
mode regardless of the time of day.
After defining the schedules, assign the schedules to a system port or transaction box. The default schedule for all ports
and transaction boxes is schedule #1.
Each schedule has up to three ranges of hours and days that define day mode. These ranges are labeled a, b, and c.
When the current time and day fall within any of the ranges defined for a schedule, that schedule is in day mode. The
schedule is in night mode any other time of day.
Special Permanent Mode Schedule—Schedule #4
Schedule #4 is a special schedule that is in the same mode 24-hours a day, 365-days a year. A group of ports or boxes
using this schedule stay in the designated mode regardless of the time of day. Schedule #4 can be set to day mode or
night mode.
Defining the Default Schedule
Schedule #1 is the default schedule for the messaging system. Define day mode for a schedule by selecting the time
and days. For example, if normal business hours are Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., select those
hours in Time and Day (A) of Schedule #1.
If the company has weekend or evening hours, then select those times and days in the Time and Day (B) and Time
and Day (C) sections of Schedule #1.
Any time that is not defined in a schedule is considered night mode.

Configuring Multiple Schedules
Schedules numbered one through three each have three schedules that can be configured, these are A, B, and C. This
enables you to define different hours for different days of the week. For example, a business might be opened Monday
through Thursday during the hours of 8 AM to 5 PM, on Fridays business hours are 8 AM to NOON, and Saturday from
NOON to 5 PM. Set schedule A for Monday through Thursday, schedule B for Friday, and schedule C for Saturday.
