2.4 CALL HANDLING

You may want the unit to handle calls differently depending on the time of the day, the day of the week or on holidays. These configurations are called Modes. You can configure all aspects of call handling (i.e. call cascade and auto attendants) differently for each mode. Define when you would like the unit to switch modes and name the modes to suit your environment.

2.Create a name for Mode 1 and Mode 2. Here, we have named them Business Hours and After Hours. See Figure 81 on page 79.

3.Click the checkbox next to Use Automatic Mode Switching if you want the modes to switch automatically.

4.Set the day and time when you would like the modes to change. You can click Monday through Sunday and create unique settings for each day.

5.To use manual mode switching, change the modes at any local extension.

Switch modes manually using telephone touchtone commands.

1. Dial # or * 55 on a IP phone to enter command mode. Enter your password if required.

2. Dial any of the following commands and press # to confirm.
