4. Check the "Specify Hours" radio button 5. Select the day of the week where hours should be defined

6. Select "Open" or "Closed" radio button. "Open" hours will be handled as "User Hours" and "Closed" hours will be handled as "After Hours" for "Call Handling".

1. Click on Settings tab 2. Click on "User Hours & Call Handling" link 3. Click on "Call Handling" Arrow

Calls can be handled differently during the "User Hours" and "After Hours". During the "User Hours", the calls can be forwarded to different internal or external numbers in sequential order by defining "Ring For (Seconds)". If the call is not answered during the number of ring seconds defined on this page, the next active number (with higher number ID) will be tried next.

After hour calls can be:

1. Send to voicemail directly, without ringing the extension/DID 2. Forward calls to the Follow Me list as defined in "User Hours" 3. Unconditionally forward calls to a specific number
