Night and overflow using attendant and FastRad

[PhonesBrokeHuh]

Let me know if you think this will work. I currently have a site that uses manual Night Ringing, we only route lines 157 and 257 (main lines)to Ring group 2 which contains Attendant and Voicemail DN's. We also use the Attendant to keep the system in Night Routing (F873)for the purpose of providing a backup source of routing in the event that the PRI goes belly up. This of course kills her Time&Date display and she is always buggin me about it (I gave her the static code, she's lazy) so I finally figured I would try to get around it.

If I set the control set for all the phones to be the FastRad; and assign lines 001 thru 023 (PRI) and lines 31 thru 34 (backup lines) to be controlled by the FastRad as well, will I be able to keep Night routing on the FastRad and the Night ringing on the attendant's phone? (thus freeing up her display when she is not in nights)

Thoughts anyone

7.0 software MICS, CP150, 1 PRI, 4 POTS

think you need a real phone not the rad ext.Why not use a conference room phone or set up a set in closet for switch

For the sites that don't use Night ringing, I use the FastRad to be the control set for overflow routing. Keeps the receptionist (if there is one) from having a services display all the time, and since receptionists are such high turn-over, keeps us from training every six months at all the sites. I will try the setup sometime next week, just though someone was possibly already there.

I have 3 sites that we use the RAD DN as the control set for the lines ringing in services. Works very well. Customers use this method to remotely change who the after hours calls go to when they rotate standby coverage in their IT department. Lots of practical uses.
