Night Mode; A41 Manual Night Mode On/Off - PhoneSuite Console User Manual

Night Mode

Night Mode is designed to direct calls to alternate locations after hours, when there may not be someone at
the console to answer calls. If the Auto Attendant option is installed, you may choose to record a different
nighttime greeting for incoming trunk calls that will play when PhoneSuite is in night mode.
There are two ways to invoke Night Mode: manually or automatically. Night Mode can be turned on manu-
ally when the console operator leaves the console at the end of the day or for any other prolonged time.
Night Mode can also turn on and off automatically at times configured by the installer.
When PhoneSuite is in Night Mode, extension users who dial 0 will not ring to the console(s) and any ex-
tensions that ring along with the console(s) during Day Mode. Instead, these calls will ring to the exten-
sions that are set up to ring with Dial 0 calls during Night Mode. These calls may or may not continue to
ring at the console(s) as well as at the Night Mode extensions, depending on how the installer configured
your system.
Similarly, during Day Mode, incoming trunk calls ring to the console(s) and/or to various extensions (set
by the installer) and/or to the Auto Attendant. During Night Mode, these calls will instead ring to the Auto
Attendant and/or to a different set of extensions, unless a particular trunk has been set to continue ringing
its Day Mode extensions. These calls may or may not continue to ring at the console(s) as well as at the
Night Mode extensions, depending on how the installer configured the system.

A41 Manual Night Mode On/Off

Night Mode can be turned on or off from the console whenever desired. This can be done with the A41
command, or by pressing the "Night Mode" feature-key button on the console, as described on page 22.
Note: If the "Night Mode" button on the console has a flashing lamp, PhoneSuite is currently in Night
Mode.
