Night Service
An extension in a Night Service group is considered unavailable and a Night
Service call does not ring at that extension when any of the following situations
occur:
A telephone is in extension or system programming mode.
A user with an MLX display telephone is using Alarm Clock or Directory
features.
A telephone is busied-out for maintenance or system programming.
All SA or ICOM buttons are in use.
A single-line telephone user is on a call.
NOTE:
Up to eight Night Service groups can be created, one for each operator.
There is no limit to the number of extensions assigned to each group. Each
extension can be assigned to more than one group.
Night Service with Outward Restriction
Night Service with Outward Restriction prevents unauthorized after-hours use of
extensions. When this option is programmed, only authorized operators can
activate and deactivate Night Service and only authorized users can place calls.
A system operator must enter a password to activate or deactivate Night Service.
When one operator activates or deactivates Night Service this way, all consoles
are put into Night Service. If Night Service groups are assigned, Night Service is
activated or deactivated for all groups and cannot be activated or deactivated
independently for each group. When the Night Service feature is activated, enter a
password before making a nonemergency outside call. When you have entered
the correct password, the system checks for calling restrictions assigned to your
extension before allowing the call.
A Night Service Emergency Allowed List of emergency numbers can include up to
10 numbers, each with no more than 12 digits. Users who do not know the Night
Service password can dial only the numbers on the list; calls to numbers not on
the list do not go through unless the caller enters a password.
One Exclusion List for Night Service can be created to exempt specific extensions
from the password requirement. An unlimited number of extensions can be
assigned to the list. However, normal calling restrictions (if any) assigned to the
extension are still in effect. Unrestricted extensions on the list are not protected
against unauthorized after-hours use.
HotLine extension users cannot dial the Night Service Emergency numbers or the
Night Service password.
