cd /persistent/var/lib/asterisk/db/custom-cfg
6.Executive the command
vi extensions_custom.conf
7. copy the following content in the extensions_custom.conf

[en-force-to-outside]
exten = *81,1,Answer
exten = *81,n,Set(DB(OfficeHours/ForceToOutside)=1)
exten = *81,n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:AutoMode)=NOT_INUSE)
exten = *81,n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:NonBusinessHours)=NOT_INUSE)

exten = *081,n,Set(DB(OfficeHours/ForceToOutside)=0)
exten = *081,n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:NonBusinessHours)=NOT_INUSE)
exten = *081,n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:BusinessHours)=NOT_INUSE)

8.Then press “esc”, then use command”:wq”and press” enter “to save the file
9. Reboot MyPBX to make the customization take effect.

 

Configuration on IP phones

Here we take Yealink phone as examples, you can set up as the following:

After you have configured, when the extension presses the BLF key *81, the BLF key will turn red, the BLF key for *82 and *081 will stay green. 

If you press BLF key *82, the BLF key for *81 and *081 will stay green. 

If you press BLF key *081, the BLF key for *81 and *82 will stay green.

 

-------------------------------------------

In addition, when the MyPBX is in Business Hours "AutoMode", you need to montor the state of the business hours time. You can upgrade the MyPBX to  X.20.0.21. Which allows you to monitor the time state in "AutoMode".

Firstly you need to have time table label, and then configure another BLF key with the label name on the IP phone like the figure below:

Therefore, When you are in Office-Hour time, the BLF key will turn red. If not, it will turn green.

    Just to confirm,

    SOHO = V3 model

    This procedure can be applied for a N412 PBX too?
