Time of Day Routing

Time of Day Routing allows you to select the most economical routing of Automatic Route Selection and Automatic Alternate Routing calls based on the time of day and week a call is made.

With Time of Day Routing, your company can take advantage of lower calling rates during specific times. If your company has locations in different time zones, you can maximize the use of your public or private network facilities by utilizing those in the location that has the lowest calling rates at the particular time a call is made. You can also use this feature to change the routing patterns when an office is closed and to eliminate unauthorized calls. You can set up eight separate time of day charts to control routing at different times of the day.

Automatic Route Selection

ARS routes public network calls on the most desirable (usually the most economical) trunking facilities available on your DEFINITY ONE when the call destinations are accessible through your public network.

DEFINITY ONE supports up to 254 routing patterns. Each routing pattern consists of up to 6 routing preferences (types of facilities) set up in the order you want them checked when a call is placed. Typically, the least expensive facility will be first on the list; the most expensive will be last.
