COS switchover

[jschnarkey]

I have users that need to disable an analog phone from making calls at night. I do not know the hours yet.
I would think that COS switch over would do the trick.
How do I set this up?

I have 4K V7

Manually they could lock the phone before they leave with a PIN.
You could restrict the phone by hours using the CRON command.
COS switchover would work also but would have the same effect.
For just one phone the quicker option would be to restrict it for out of hours.

Example:
REG-CRON;

Restrict Extension 1234 from 17:00 every Monday to LCOSV1
ADD-CRON:101,P,0,17,*,*,1,"CHA-SCSU:STNO=1234,LCOSV1=1;";

Open Extension 1234 from 09:00 every Monday to LCOSV6
ADD-CRON:102,P,0,09,*,*,1,"CHA-SCSU:STNO=1234,LCOSV1=6;";

The AMO's BERUM and BERUZ setup the Class of Service Switchover.
It has to be allowed as well in FEASU and in the actual COS of the phone.
Then the phone is put into the COSX (Class of Service Changeover Group) that is relevant.

I will gather a bit more info from the department while I look at all of these options.
It is a hospital behavioral health day room, no calls at night.
It would actually be neat to use a cos switch that makes it a hotline at night so if a patient lifts the handset it rings the main desk. Then the person on duty can tell the person to go back to their room, lol.
They may just like that idea.

If I use a PIN is there a way to remotely enter the PIN from another extension or perhaps I can cross connect the extension into the main office and set a princess phone in there so they have access to the extensions keypad and can lock / unlock it from their station and not have to walk into the day room.

Yes with a bit of extra work it could be made into a hotline at night and back to normal during the day.
A timed setup would be better because people tend to forget things !
I can get more info on the COS change over - I have it setup on a site.
Only problem is that the admin people there forget and move the phone with the phone in a different COSX then they complain that they can't dial out etc.

Thank you SBCSU,
Get me that config and I'll go to them armed with info and we'll make an educated choice.
I would also prefer it on a timer. I have known this group a long time and I can never tell the employees from the patients.

Ok, what am I doing wrong.

ADD-CRONOS=101,EXEC=O,MINUTE=50,HOUR=9,DAY=*,MONTH=*,WEEKDAY=*,
COMMAND="CHA-SBCSU:STNO=32004,LCOSV1=1";
H500: AMO CRON STARTED
H01: TIME-SCHEDULE COMMAND HAS BEEN STORED AT POS. 101


After 0950 this still has not happened to my test phone.

You haven't terminated the 4K command you want it to run. You've terminated the add-cron, but not the cha-sbcsu.

End of line should be LCOSV1=1;";

 

[jschnarkey]

Oh, well what do you know. It works now.
You guys are always the best. Now they are asking for a PIN to turn the phone on and off.
Only in the BHU.

 

[Moriendi]

You could use autoset relocate to turn the phone off, it'll sign it off.

 

[jschnarkey]

Thank you all for the great help. As it turns out, the department just wants a PIN that can activate and deactivate the phone.
I'll look for a thread like this and see if this can even be something that can be dialed from another phone or does it need to be dialed from the phone in question.
I don't know how to create such a thing.

A PIN to do a class of service switchover
The COSX PIN is added in PERSI
Then an acutal PIN Code is added in the PERSI of the extension.
