Night Service Button (#503)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used to turn Night Service on and off. When Night Service is on, all lines assigned to the phones of the users in the Night Service Group ring immediately, regardless of their normal Line Ringing settings.
Night Service is useful if you want phones to ring after regular business hours. For example, although Shipping Department workers do not answer calls directly during the day, you want them to answer incoming calls after hours.
