Configure a PLAR phone to call different numbers depending on ToD

[poulid]

Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to have a PLAR phone automatically dial one phone number during normal business hours (receptionist) but then dial a different number after 5pm. We've got a phone outside the front door of our building that, when picked up automatically dials the receptionist. But, after she is gone, we would like to have the phone automatically dial our Service Desk. Is this possible?

Thanks.

You can use the KRON command to modify your config.
I don't tested this configuration but I think it's working:

kron occurrence EVERY_NIGHT at 20:00 recurring
policy-list NIGHT_PLAR
!
kron occurrence EVERY_DAY at 8:00 recurring
policy-list DAY_PLAR
!
kron policy-list NIGHT_PLAR
cli conf t
cli voice-port 1/0
cli connection plar your_number
!
kron policy-list DAY_PLAR
cli conf t
cli voice-port 1/0
cli connection plar your_number

Hi Darnell,

I'll just add this to Daniele's great info (+5) just in case you are using

CUCM. This is my favorite thread that discusses Time of day Routing in CUCM

in some detail. Both Java and Bill have superb ideas here

PS:if it seems like too much config for just this set up you could always get the Admin

to just CFWDALL to the Service desk after hours
