This guide describes steps to add time groups and time conditions in your Classic PBX.

You can check your incoming calls against set time ranges (e.g., business and non-business hours) and then route the calls depending on the check result.

Step 1: Access the Classic PBX Web Interface

  1. Obtain your Classic PBX server's domain and admin credentials from CommPeak support team.

  2. Open a web browser, navigate to the domain, and log in to the server.
