Features
Night Service
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 extensions cannot dial the Night Service Emergency numbers or the
Night Service password.
Night Service with Time Set
When Night Service with Time Set is programmed, the system automatically
activates Night Service on all operator consoles at a specified time of day on
specified days of the week. A different time of day to activate or deactivate Night
Service can be programmed for each day of the week. Operators can still override
the timer and turn Night Service on and off manually. If one system operator
overrides the timer, Night Service is activated or deactivated on all consoles.
Night Service also can be activated through system programming for special
conditions, such as a midweek holiday.
Night Service with Coverage Control
In Release 4.1 and later systems, system managers can set Night Service, in
combination with any other Night Service options, to control the status of
programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons at Night Service member extensions.
This allows the system manager to turn on the voice messaging system (VMS)
coverage of outside calls automatically.
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Night Service
with Coverage Control does not work for non-local dial plan extensions.
A coverage sender with a VMS calling group assigned as a receiver can program
a Coverage VMS Off button to prevent outside calls from being sent to voice mail.
When Coverage VMS Off is inactive (button is unlit), inside and outside calls go to
voice mail. When the programmed feature is active (button is lit), only inside calls
go to voice mail.
The system manager can enable Night Service with Coverage Control through
system programming. The option then automatically activates Coverage VMS Off
buttons at member extensions when Night Service operation begins. When Night
Service goes off, the Coverage Control option automatically deactivates member
