Matrix PRASAR UCS - Day Night Mode

Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual 775
Day Night Mode
What's this?
Certain features of the PRASAR UCS like Operator, Class of Service, Toll Control, Outgoing Trunk Bundle Access
Groups, Trunk Landing Group, Auto Attendant, Direct Inward System Access (DISA) etc require extensions and
trunks to behave differently according to the working hours, non-working hours and break hours, which are referred
to as Time Zones.
These Time Zone-dependent features and facilities are operated automatically according to the Time Tables
configured in the system. In a Time Table, the Time Zones - Working Hours, Non-Working Hours, Break Hours - are
defined for the entire week. Time Table is assigned to trunks, extensions and other time-zone dependent features.
The system executes the Time-Zone dependent features and facilities automatically according to the Time Table.
To know more refer the topic “Time Tables”.
Day/Night Mode allows you to change the Time Zone of the system at any point in time, by using Jeeves or by
pressing the DSS key on the phone. For example, the office is to be closed on account of an unplanned holiday or
emergency. So, the Time Zones of all extensions and trunks must be set to Non-working hours to route outgoing
calls and land incoming calls from/to the appropriate destination. You can set the PRASAR UCS to Night Mode until
the office remains closed and set it back to operate as per the Time Table, when work is resumed.
To cite another example, the office must work for extended hours. You can set the PRASAR UCS to Day Mode and
set it back to operate as per the Time Table.
When you set the system in Day/Night Mode, the system overrides the Time Tables assigned to Trunks, Extensions
and Operator. According to the mode you selected, it applies Working Hours/Non-Working Hours to run all the
Time-Zone dependent features of the system.
When the system is set to Day Mode, it applies Working Hours as the Time Zone for all extensions, trunks and time
zone dependent features and facilities. When the system is set to Night Mode, it applies Non-Working Hours as the
Time Zone on Time-Zone dependent features of the system.
Thus, Day/Night Mode forces the system to work in a particular Time Zone, until it is changed again, manually.
Day/Night mode can be set by the System Engineer (SE mode) as well as by the System Administrator (SA Mode).
It can be done using Jeeves.
