When Night Service with Outward Restriction is programmed, a user must
enter the password before dialing the ARS dial-out code, unless either the
extension is assigned to an exclusion list or the number is on an
emergency numbers list.
Caller ID information appears on the display whether or not Night Service
has been activated.
For Night Service with Outward Restriction, a Night Service Emergency
Numbers List must be created to include emergency numbers that can be
dialed from any extension without dialing the password. Any restrictions
for an extension assigned to the Exclusion List continue in effect when
Night Service is activated.
A VMS can be placed into Night Service only by the system on which it
resides. However, for Release 6.1 and later systems, calls coming in from
a remote MERLIN LEGEND system are handled by Night Service when
the local VMS switches to Night Service.
When the system manager enables the Coverage Control option, a
transition into Night Service operation (either by pressing the Night
Service button at an operator's console or through the Time Set feature)
automatically deactivates all programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons
(LED is off) at extensions in the Night Service group. This allows calls to
go to voice messaging system coverage at night. When the system is
taken out of Night Service—either by a press of the Night Service button
at an operator's console or through the Time Set option—the Coverage
Control option automatically activates all programmed Coverage VMS Off
buttons, turning the LED on at extensions in the Night Service group.
Outside calls no longer go to the voice messaging system.
A user at the extension can override the Night Service with Coverage
Control option by pressing the programmed Coverage VMS Off button at
any time.
If a digital communications device or videoconferencing system is a
member of a Night Service group, voice calls to the 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.
