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 Avaya IP600 when the call destinations are
accessible through your public network.
Avaya IP600 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.
