Time of Day Routing lets you redirect calls to coverage paths according to the 
time of day and day of the week. You need to define the coverage paths you want 
to use before you define the time of day coverage plan. 

You can route calls based on the least expensive route according to the time of day 
and day of the week the call is made. You can also deny outgoing long-distance 
calls after business hours to help prevent toll fraud. Time of Day Routing applies 
to all AAR or ARS outgoing calls and trunks used for call forwarding to external 
numbers.

AAR or ARS must be administered on your switch before you use Time of Day 
Routing. 

■

For AAR, verify that either the Private Networking field or the Uniform 
Dialing Plan field is y on the System-Parameters Customer-Options screen.

■

For ARS, verify that the ARS field is y and the Time of Day Routing field 
is y on the System-Parameters Customer-Options screen.

As an example, let’s allow our executives to make long distance calls during 
business hours. Let’s look at the Time of Day Routing Plan before we make any 
changes.

To display your Time of Day Routing Plan:
