Database Search
The Index cannot be changed since it is the key to the record. A change in this 
number means either another existing record or a new record is being entered. After 
the time parameter is entered, CFC searches the database for the corresponding 
record and, when it finds it, displays it. If it does not exist in the database, CFC 
displays a prompt requesting the entry of a different time parameter.

ADMINISTRATOR MAIN MENU INTRODUCTION Call Forward Control - Installation & Operations Manual
Time Parameters
Each Start Time Index identifies a schedule, or time frame, that is defined by the 
hour, minute, month, and day. A time frame can be illustrated as “Daily at 
midnight”, “The first Monday of every month at 8:00 a.m.”, or “Monday through 
Friday, from 8:00 a.m.” It is by these schedules that different rerouting patterns can 
be instituted for the same group at different times.
Time Formula
Once the event is named, the times during which indicated rerouting take place are 
specified using five fields. These five fields combine to form a pattern that is 
interpreted by CRC and HFC. If any field is left blank, the entire record is rejected. 
The fields are listed below and each is followed in parentheses by the range within 
which valid responses must lie:
–Hour of Day (0-23) (Midnight=0)
–Minutes (0-59)
–Month of Year (1-12)
–Day of Month (1-31)
–Day of Week (0-6) (Sunday=0)
It is important to keep the following guidelines in mind when constructing the 
values for these fields:
–Use a single number within the allowable range.
–Use an asterisk (*) to indicate all values within the given range.
–Use a hyphen to indicate a range (1–3).
–Separate numbers in a list using commas.
–Comma-separated lists of numbers and
 ranges are not allowed.
–A range (e.g., 1–3) is only allowed in the Day of Week field.
–A single number must be entered for the Minutes and Hour fields. All data 
following a comma, asterisk, or hyphen is ignored.

Perhaps the following examples might be helpful:
