AT&T 75 manual Straightforward Outward Completion, Time-of-Day Routing Generic 1 Only

CHAPTER 4. USING THE FEATURES

Straightforward Outward Completion

This feature allows the attendant to complete an outgoing trunk call for a voice terminal user by selecting a trunk and dialing the outside number. The attendant first determines if the call should be allowed.

Straightforward Outward Completion is incorporated into the steps of the procedure for extending calls from system voice terminal users to outgoing trunks. For details, refer to “Extending Calls” in Chapter 3.

Time-of-Day Routing (Generic 1 Only)

This feature allows outgoing calls to be placed over the most economical route based on the time of day and day of week. The system can have up to eight routing plans, and one of these plans will be designated as the standard routing plan for each day of the week.

The Time-of-Day Routing feature allows the normal routing plan to be changed up to six times each day for each day of the week. Two options are available for changing the daily routing plan: Immediate Manual Override and Clocked Manual Override. Your System Manager will tell you which option(s) you have and when the option(s) should be activated.

Immediate Manual Override Option

When this option is activated, the currently active routing plan is changed immediately to a new plan. The new plan remains in effect until the override is manually deactivated or until the next scheduled routing plan takes effect.

To activate immediate Manual Override:

Note: The green lamp at the Immediate Override button will be lighted if this option is already active. However, you can press the Immediate Override button to deactivate the option.
