System Password (#403)

Description

This System Programming procedure defines a four-digit password that users can enter from system phones other than the MLC-6. The password has two possible functions:

To turn Night Service on and off (if Night Service is programmed).

To override dialing restrictions (if the extension has access to an outside line).

Related Features

Once a password is programmed, you must enter it to turn Night Service on or off. Additionally, if Night Service is on, users in the Night Service Group must enter the password to make outgoing calls (except numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) and Marked System Speed Dial Numbers). Dialing restrictions for extensions not in the Night Service Group remain the same as during normal daytime operation.

The password overrides all dialing restrictions, but not Line Access

Restriction (#302).

Considerations

This feature is not available on MLC-6 or standard phones.
