Night Service
Night Service Group Assignment
Each Night Service group is associated with either an individual QCC (in
Hybrid/PBX mode) or an individual DLC through system programming.
A Night Service group can include the following types of members:
Any type of extension
One calling group (Release 2.0 and later) for each Night Service group
Calling group with one non-local member (Release 6.1 and later)
In Release 4.1 and later systems, outside lines must be assigned to Night
Service groups in order for calls received on these lines to receive Night
Service treatment. The system manager can assign the following types of
outside lines to Night Service groups:
— Loop-start lines
— Ground-start lines
— NI-BRI B-channels
— PRI B-channels that are routed by line appearance
— Automatic incoming tie trunks
The following types of outside lines cannot be assigned to Night Service
groups:
— DID (Direct Inward Dial) trunks
— Dial-in tie trunks
— PRI B-channels that are routed by dial plan
— Line/trunk jacks programmed for Alarm, Music on Hold, or Paging
— Unequipped line/trunk jacks
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Night Service
group members and operators must all be local system users. Private
trunks should not be assigned to Night Service groups.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, during Night Service operation, calls received
on lines assigned to a Night Service group ring at the Night Service destination for
the group (an extension or calling group). A line need not be assigned to an
operator position in order to receive Night Service coverage to a calling group.
Lines that are not assigned to a Night Service group, whether or not they appear
at operator consoles, do not receive Night Service treatment.
In Release 4.0 and prior systems, when an operator associated with a Night
Service group activates Night Service or when the Time Set option turns on Night
Service operation automatically, any calls received on lines/trunks programmed to
ring at individual operator consoles ring immediately at all available extensions
assigned to the group.
