NIGHT SERVICE DELAY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Description

Provides a recorded announcement for incoming trunk calls when the system has Directed Night Service (NS) activated and a call is not answered.

Directed NS

calls not answered

within a specified

number of rings (1-15) may be directed to

a recorded

announcement. Two

different recorded

announcements may be assigned.

Note that NS calls to a terminal that are not answered do not receive Station Hunting or Call Coverage treatment (unless the trunk also appears on a station’s Personal Line button). After the announcement is played, the call is disconnected.

Considerations:

N i g h t S e r v i c e D e l a y A n n o u n c e m e n t s p r o v i d e t h e c a l l i n g p a r t y w i t h a m e s s a g e t h a t acknowledges the call and can provide additional information as well. Once an NS call goes to the delay announcement, the call will be disconnected from the system after the announcement has been played.
