Time Service

Description
Time modes are used by many PBX features to determine how they will function during different times of
day. For example, incoming calls can be directed to sales staff during the day and to a Voice Processing
System (VPS) at night, extension users can be prohibited from making long distance calls during lunch time,
etc.
There are four time modes—day, lunch, break, and night. The start and end times of each time mode are
programmed for each day of the week in a Time Table. Each Time Table has a number which corresponds
to the tenant it serves, i.e., Tenant 1 uses Time Table 1, etc.

Time Service Switching Mode
The current time mode can switch automatically to another time mode at the preprogrammed time
assigned in the Time Table. It is possible, however, to switch time modes manually.
Whether time modes are normally switched manually or automatically is determined through system
programming (→ Time Service Switching Mode [101]). Each tenant is assigned a switching mode.

Time Table
Each tenant has a Time Table that is used when the tenant is in Automatic Time Service Switching
mode. Each Time Table has four basic modes—day, lunch, break, and night—and also provides for
multiple "breaks", such as morning breaks and afternoon breaks, and multiple "days", such as the
morning shift and the afternoon shift following lunch.
A tenant's Time Table is programmed to control when each time mode starts (and therefore, ends) and
can be programmed separately for each day of the week.
Each Time Table has a number which corresponds to the tenant number of the tenant it serves. (Tenant
1 uses Time Table 1, etc.)
