Since the preferred carrier may vary depending on the time of day, you can create an ARS-specific time
table and break each day of the week into different time blocks. A different carrier can then be assigned
to each time block.
Routing Plan Time Table: For each Routing Plan, a different carrier can be assigned for each time of day
and each day of the week. Each day can have up to four programmable time blocks.
Routing Plan Priority: For each Routing Plan, a different carrier can be assigned a different priority for
each time of day. Generally, the carrier assigned to priority 1 will be used, however, if the CO lines assigned
to this carrier are busy, a different available carrier will be used according to priority level.
