Features
Night Service
Night Service with Time Set can be deactivated through system programming for
special conditions such as a midweek holiday.
An answering machine connected to an 012 module or 016 (T/R) module can be
set up as a member of a Night Service group to automatically answer after-hours
calls. External alerts, such as strobes, bells, or chimes, can be connected either to
an analog multiline telephone by using a Supplemental Alert Adapter, or to an
MLX telephone by using a Multi-Function Module (MFM) that is a member of a
Night Service group. The external alert sounds or lights when a Night Service call
comes in to that telephone.
Changing the system time while in Night Service mode deactivates Night Service;
Night Service then must be reactivated manually.
Night Service with Coverage Control controls voice messaging system coverage
only and has no effect on other forms of coverage, such as Individual Coverage or
other types of Group Coverage. When the option is disabled, Night Service does
not affect programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons.
If a user with a programmed Coverage VMS Off button activates or deactivates
Coverage by pressing the button on his or her telephone, the next transition to
Night Service does not necessarily toggle the button to the opposite status.
Instead, when Night Service goes on or off, the button assumes the same active
or inactive state that it would have if no manual button-press had taken place. The
most recent event, whether it is a manual button-press or an automatic change
set by the Coverage Control option, determines the active/inactive state of the
programmed Coverage VMS Off button.

A DLC operator also can activate Night Service by pressing the Feature button
and dialing
Service and Outward Restriction is programmed, the DLC operator does not hear
an error tone if an invalid password is entered and, unless a Night Service button
is programmed, cannot determine whether Night Service is active.
On a system with 29 or fewer lines, a Night Service button is factory-assigned to
analog DLCs with 34 buttons or more. On a system with more than 29 lines, the
Night Service button is not factory-assigned; instead, line 31 is assigned. The
Night Service button is not a fixed feature and can be assigned to any available
button on either an analog or MLX DLC.
