Features
Night Service
extensions' Coverage VMS Off buttons so that outside calls are no longer covered
by voice mail.
A user at a member extension can press the Coverage VMS Off button to change
its status, regardless of Night Service operation. When the next Night Service
transition takes place, all programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons reflect the
current Night Service status. The most recent event, whether it is a Night Service
transition or a user button-press, governs the status of the Coverage VMS Off
buttons.
Considerations and Constraints
A Direct Inward Dial (DID) call to any member of a Night Service group rings at all
group members' telephones.
If an extension assigned to a Night Service group has the same outside line
(personal line) as an operator console, calls to this line ring immediately at each
extension, even if the personal line on the telephone is programmed for Delay
Ring or No Ring. If the extension does not have the outside line assigned, the call
rings on an SA or ICOM button.
When Night Service is deactivated by an operator or automatically by the system,
extensions are reset to their programmed Ring Timing options.
When a feature code is used to activate or deactivate Night Service, and Outward
Restriction is programmed, a DLC operator does not hear an error tone if an
invalid password is entered. Unless a Night Service button is programmed, an
operator cannot determine whether Night Service is active.
When both the Night Service with Outward Restriction and Night Service with
Time Set options are programmed, the system imposes restrictions automatically.
When Night Service with Outward Restriction is used, an operator must enter a
password to manually activate or deactivate Night Service.
When Night Service with Outward Restriction and/or Night Service with Time Set
are programmed, Night Service is activated or deactivated for all operator
consoles. If Night Service groups are also programmed, Night Service cannot be
activated or deactivated separately for each group.
When Night Service with Outward Restriction is activated and a user with a
restricted extension presses a dialpad button while on a call, the call is
disconnected, the user hears a fast busy signal, and the line/trunk is released.
When the dialpad is used, the system assumes that the user is trying to make an
outside call, which is not allowed because of the Night Service restriction
assigned to the extension.
Operators can override Night Service with Time Set and turn Night Service on or
off manually.
