Night Service

DESCRIPTION

When the person who usually answers calls is not on duty, you can make answering calls easy for night personnel, such as a guard. There are two ways that you can provide Night Service for your office.

You may either want to provide the person with a 34-button voice terminal that has all the lines, or the person may prefer to monitor the attendant console and answer calls there. Be sure that all lines on which calls may come in after hours are set for immediate ring. If the lines are not normally set for this ringing option, the person can activate the Ring Option Override feature that he or she has programmed for the voice terminal. (See "Ring Option Override.")
