Routing Calls Economically

Your system can route outgoing calls in the most economical way based on the time of day and the day of the week. Your system manager designates one of up to eight routing plans as the standard routing plan for each day of the week. Your system manager, however, may alter the routing plan with manual or clocked manual override.

Manual Override

When you activate Manual Override, the currently-active routing plan changes immediately to a new plan. The new plan remains in effect until you manually deactivate the override or until the next scheduled routing plan takes effect.

Clocked Manual Override

This option lets your system manager specify the day and time to override the scheduled time-of-day routing plan. Your system manager can also specify a deactivate day and time, or can manually deactivate clocked manual override.

Example

System manager Kelly Ratliffe saves considerable money for Widgets, Inc. by designing automated paths for calls to follow at certain times of the day on certain days of the week. She programs calls placed before 10:00 a.m. from Maine to route through the Los Angeles outside line, and calls placed after 3:00 p.m. from Los Angeles to route through the Portland, Maine line. Widgets, Inc. receives night rates for Portland, Maine calls made before 10:00 a.m. and evening rates for Los Angeles calls made after 3:00 p.m.

Procedures

Your system manager programs this information into your console to occur automatically. However, your system manager may ask you to change the normal routing plan. This plan can be changed up to 6 times each day for each day of the week. The two options available for changing the daily routing plan are:

■Immediate Manual Override

■Clocked Manual Override

Your system manager can tell you which option(s) you have and when the option(s) should be activated.
