Service: Assigned Night Answer and Universal Night Answer.
Assigned Night Answer rings extensions directly at Night, providing specific answering points for
Night Service calls. (For example, you can program trunks to ring the security station at night.)
Universal Night Answer (UNA) allows a user to dial a code to pick up a call ringing the system at
night. With UNA, an employee can go to any telephone and dial a UNA code to answer the call.
The extension does not need to have a line/loop key assigned for the ringing call.
Following are the four basic types of Night Service operation for a trunk. Note that only option 3
enables Universal Night Answer.
Option 1: Key Ring Day and Night
The trunk is a Key Ring trunk during the day and at night. An extension's Night Key (if pro-
grammed) controls the day/night mode of the trunk. The trunk will not enable Universal Night
Answer pickup.
Option 2: Key Ring During the Day, DIL at Night
The trunk is a Key Ring trunk during the day and a DIL at night.An extension's Night Key (if
programmed) controls the day/night mode of the trunk. The trunk will not enable Universal
Night Answer pickup.
Option 3: DIL During the Day, Key Ring at Night
The trunk is a DIL during the day and a Key Ring trunk at night.The DIL destination's DND
key controls the night mode of the trunk. If the DIL destination is extension 300 (normally the
attendant), pressing the DND key also enables Universal Night Answer pickup.
Option 4: DIL Day and Night
The trunk is a DIL during the day and at night. The DIL destination's DND key controls the
night mode of the trunk. During the day, the trunk rings the assigned DIL day mode destination
extension. At night (after the user presses DND), the trunk rings the programmed DIL night
mode destination. Pressing the DND key will not enable Universal Night Answer pickup.
By default, key 11 on attendant keyset is a Night key. This allows the attendant to activate the Night
Mode system-wide.
