Description
Night Service provides options for after-hours telephone operation that can be
programmed in any combination of the following:
■ Night Service with Group Assignment
■ Night Service with Outward Restriction
■ Night Service with Time Set
Only system operators can activate or deactivate Night Service by using a
Direct-Line Console (DLC) or a Queued Call Console (QCC). To activate or
deactivate Night Service, a system operator presses the programmed Night
Service button. If the Night Service with Outward Restriction option is
programmed, the green LED flashes when the DLC operator presses the
programmed Night Service button, and the operator must enter the assigned
password (within 60 seconds) to activate or deactivate Night Service. When
Night Service is activated, the green LED next to the programmed Night
Service button goes on. When the feature is deactivated, the green LED goes
off.
Night Service with Group Assignment
Each Night Service group is associated with an individual QCC in the
Hybrid/PBX mode or an individual DLC during system programming. Any type of
telephone as well as one Calling Group (Release 2.0 and later) can be a
member of a Night Service group.
When an operator associated with a Night Service group activates Night
Service, any calls received on trunks programmed to ring at individual consoles
ring immediately at all available telephones assigned to the group. A telephone
in a Night Service group is considered unavailable and a Night Service call
does not ring at it when any of the following occurs:
■ a telephone is in the extension or system programming mode
■ a user with an MLX display telephone is using the Alarm Clock or
Directory feature
■ a telephone is busied-out for maintenance or system programming
■ all SA or ICOM buttons are in use
■ a single-line telephone user is on a call
NOTE:
Up to eight Night Service groups can be created, one for each system
operator. There is no limit to the number of telephones assigned to each
group, and each telephone can be assigned to more than one group.
