If a digital communications device or videoconferencing system is a
member of the Night Service group, voice calls to Night Service group do
not ring at these extensions. Data or video calls do ring, and 2B data calls
can be established. However, if there are two or more 2B data extensions
receiving Night Service calls, the two 1B data calls that form a 2B data
call may be directed to different extensions instead of the same one
during Night Service operation.
If a system operator must enter a password to turn Night Service on and
off, the display prompts the operator for the password. No message is
displayed either when an operator activates Night Service by using a
feature code or when Night Service is off. If an MLX display telephone is
in test mode and a Night Service call arrives, the call rings at the
telephone. However, the calling information is not displayed until the user
presses the Home button to see it.
When an extension is a member of a Night Service group and Night
Service is activated, calls received at the extension are forwarded to
extensions by using Forward and Follow Me but are not forwarded to
outside telephone numbers when Remote Call Forwarding is used.
In Release 2.0 and later systems, a calling group can be a Night Service
group member. If a calling group is used as a Night Service member, no
other calling groups or extensions are allowed to be Night Service
members.
HotLine extensions (Release 5.0 and later systems) can be members of
Night Service groups. If a HotLine extension dials an outside call and
Night Service with Outward Restriction is on, either the HotLine extension
number must be in the Night Service Exclusion List or the number it dials
must be on the Night Service Emergency List.
The Automated Attendant service can be used for Night Service
operation. The necessary system programming options can be set
through Integrated Administration.
An MFM can be a member of a Night Service group. An external alert
connected to the MFM in supplemental alert adapter operation, when
assigned to a Night Service group, can be used for supplemental ringing
for after-hours calls.
A line/trunk jack programmed for Music on Hold cannot be assigned to a
Night Service group.
A line/trunk jack programmed as a Loudspeaker Paging port cannot be
assigned to a Night Service group.
If the voice mail calling group is assigned as a member of a Night Service
group, incoming lines receive Automated Attendant treatment. When a
call is answered by the Night Service group, ringing does not occur at an
extension with that personal line and the Night Service coverage is used
instead of the principal user's coverage.
By using Pickup, a user at another extension can answer a call ringing at
a Night Service group extension.
