Hey folks, I've been watching to forums for a while, but I've got a situation where I could use some help. I was using an overlay for all inbound calls, which went to 5 phones. At the end of the day, one of the users would CFA to the AA (they don't like to hear the phones ring after 4:00). In the morning, they would take off the CFA. I recently upgraded to CME4.3 so I could change the overlay to the parallel hunt-group (that way they could see who was on the phone, can't do that with the overlay). Now they can't CFA with the hunt-group.
Anyone know of a way to either CFA the hunt-group or make the phones stop ringing at a time of day, or automagically change the connection plar? I've got a TAC case open, but it's not going well.
I am thinking of using Cisco's EEM with a CRON entry that will run the commands manually whenever I tell it to, but it would be nice if this was already part of CME/CUE ( I seem to be saying that a lot).
Here's my EEM script...
event manager applet WEEKDAY_START
event timer cron name "WEEKDAY_START" cron-entry "1 8 * * 1-5"
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "config t"
action 1.2 cli command "voice-port 0/0/0"

You could use the Auto Attendant
If you had the calls going through a custom autoattendant you could use the time of day business schedules to handle the calls and redirect.
