Hello Everyone  
Does anyone know how and where to place context information  
for time of day call routing?

I need to be able route calls to a manned extension from 08:00 until 17:00 Monday through Friday. After 17:00 I need to be able to go to either voice mail or a voice menu where an incoming caller can be directed to leave voice mail. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have 10 extensions working correctly. Just need to be able to make them time dependent. I am using Asterisk Now Beta 6.

extensions.conf

[default]  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5000,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5001,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5002,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5003,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5004,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5005,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5006,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5007,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5008,30,r)  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5009,30,r)  
include = ring-all

[ring-all]  
exten = s,1,dial(sip/5000&sip/5001&sip/5002 etc etc,etc.)

I have no voice mail defined for these extensions as  
customer wants all extensions to ring at the same time.  
I have this accomplished. and all sets ring as requested.

Any help would be appreciated…

Hello Georgy,  
Thanks for the resources.  
I added the following to my dial plan.

[hours-of-business]  
exten =\> s,1,GotoIfTime(08:00-17:00|mon-fri|_|_?default,s,1)  
exten = \> s,1,GotoIfTime(17:01-07:59|Mon-fri|_|_?closed,s,1)  
Tested and works correctly.  
Thanks again,  
Davemo[Problem is solved]
