Hello,
How would I have to configure an extension to a cell phone number to start at a specific time in Call Manager Express.
For example if I had to forward dn 1234 to my cell phone number 1512345678 starting tomorrow Friday at 15:00 hrs.
Would this be correct?:
ephone-dn 1
number 1234
description USER
name USER
call-forward busy 91512345678
call-forward noan 91512345678 timeout 10
Any help is welcomed. Thanks.
Patricio

Patricio,
There is no native way on CME to schedule automatic call forwarding that would start at certain time, the above configuration will simply route calls to this number for no answer after ringing for 10 seconds or on busy condition. If you want all calls to go to this number you need to define call-forward all, but that will apply to all calls that arrive as soon as the command is applied.

Hi Patricio,
You can try using Night-service feature of CME, which will automaticaly fwd your calls based on day\time:
1) You define night service period (for example as below starting from Friday to Monday 8:00am)
2) Under your ephone-dn, you apply this, during the night service period, your call will be fwd to another number.
If you use below config your phone will be automatically fwded to your Cell number from Friday 15:00 to Monday 8:00 am
:
telephony-service
night-service day Fri 15:00 07:59
night-service day Sat 08:00 07:59
night-service day Sun 08:00 07:59
ephone-dn 1
number 1234
description USER
name USER
night-service bell
call-forward night-service 91512345678
Remember to remove this from under your ephone-dn before next Friday - otherwise it will do it again and every week.

Night service can be configured for day\date\weekend\weekday etc:
R1(config-telephony)#night-service ?
code define night-service code
date define month and day
day define day in week
everyday define everyday
weekday define weekday mon-fri
weekend define weekend sat-sun
In your case you can use dates as well:
telephony-service
night-service date Feb 15 13:00 07:59
night-service date Feb 16 08:00 07:59
night-service date Feb 17 08:00 07:59
ephone-dn 1
number 1234
description USER
name USER
night-service bell
call-forward night-service 91512345678
