Calls can be routed to different call groups or extensions during the company's business hours verses the off hours. For instance, the enterprise might want to route the calls to the secretary or to the sales group during normal business hour while routing the calls to the answering service during the off hours. This configuration can be accomplished by taking the following actions:

1. Define the company business hours

2. Define company call handling method

3. Define how the calls should be routed for both during the company business hours and during the off hours.

1. Login as the company's admin user

2. Click on "Phone System" tab

3. Click on "Auto-Receptionist" link (on the left panel)

4. Click on "Company Hours" link (On the right panel)

If the company's main number should be handled 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, the "24 Hours" radio button should be selected.
