Features
Night Service with Outward Restriction
Night Service with Outward Restriction prevents unauthorized after-hours use of
telephones. When this option is programmed, only authorized system operators
can activate and deactivate Night Service, and only authorized users can place
calls.
A system operator must enter a password to activate or deactivate Night
Service. When one system operator activates or deactivates Night Service by
using a password, all consoles are put into Night Service. If Night Service
groups are assigned, Night Service is activated or deactivated for all groups
and cannot be activated or deactivated independently for each group.
When the Night Service feature is activated, a user must enter a password
before a non-emergency outside call is made. When the correct password is
entered, the system checks for calling restrictions assigned to each telephone
before allowing calls to outside numbers.
A Night Service Emergency Allowed List can be created that includes up to 10
numbers, for example, police or fire departments, each with a maximum of 12
digits. Users who do not know the Night Service password can dial only the
numbers on the list; calls to numbers not on the list do not go through unless a
password is entered.
One Exclusion List for Night Service can be created to exempt specific
telephones from the password requirement. An unlimited number of telephones
can be assigned to the list. However, normal calling restrictions (if any)
assigned to the telephone are still in effect. Unrestricted telephones on the
exclusion list are not protected against unauthorized after-hours use.
Night Service with Time Set
When the Night Service with Time Set option is programmed, the system
automatically activates Night Service on all system operator consoles at a
specified time of day and on specified days of the week. A different time of day
to activate or deactivate Night Service can be programmed for each day of the
week. System operators can still override the timer and turn Night Service on
and off manually if they prefer. If one system operator overrides the timer, Night
Service is activated or deactivated on all consoles.
Night Service can also be activated through system programming for special
conditions, such as a midweek holiday.
Considerations and Constraints
A Direct Inward Dialing (DID) call to any member of a Night Service group rings
at all group members’ telephones.
If a telephone assigned to a Night Service group has the same outside line
(Personal Line) as the operator console, calls to this line ring immediately at
each telephone even if the Personal Line on the telephone is programmed for
Delay Ring or No Ring. If the telephone does not have the outside line
assigned, the call rings on an SA or ICOM button.
