Message Registration
Night Service
553-2681-100
Standard 5.00
After obtaining the desired party's number, the CAS attendant presses the
signal Remote (SIG REM) key, which is assigned automatically and is
located above the LPK 5 key. The Main site responds by sending a timed flash
over the RLT to the Remote site. This signal prompts the Remote site to
connect a register or Digitone receiver to the RLT. When an idle register or
Digitone receiver has been applied to the RLT, a dial tone from a Tone and
Digit Switch (TDS) at the Remote location is sent to the CAS attendant. The
CAS attendant then keys in the destination DN on the dial pad. When
outpulsing is completed, the CAS attendant hears a ring-back or a busy tone.
At this time, the CAS attendant can disconnect from the RLT by operating the
release (RLS) key.
If all RLTs from a Remote location are in use, LDN calls are queued and
routed to an RLT when one becomes idle.
CAS and Message Registration (MR) are incompatible with each other. If
both are enabled, CAS takes precedence over MR.
Night Service at the Main CAS attendant location is applicable to calls at the
Main location and to calls routed over the RLT from Remote locations.
Calls from Remote locations over an RLT can be transferred by the
night-answer location at the Main site back to the Remote location over a TIE
trunk; however, the RLT is held for the duration of the call.
Night Service is activated separately by each Remote location at its local
console or telephone. This is usually prearranged for a given time of day, or
it is in response to a call from the Main CAS attendant, and it is done before
the Main CAS attendant activates Night Service. If the CAS attendant
activates Night Service before the Remote locations do, then all calls routed
to the RLT by the Remote site are directed to the night location at the
Main site.
The three types of Night Service offered on Meridian 1—flexible,
night-answer telephone, or Trunk Answer From Any Station (TAFAS)—can
be assigned independent of any CAS arrangements. CAS service and Night
Service are independent, and when both features are activated, CAS takes
precedence.
