Night Service

DESCRIPTION	The MERLIN II system allows several options for after-hours telephone
	operation. The administrator can administer these features in any combination
	to meet the current needs of the office. When the attendant goes off duty, he
	or she can activate the Night Service options that the administrator has
	administered.
	The three Night Service options are:
	● Night Service with Group Assignment. The administrator can specify
		which voice terminals should ring when calls come in to an attendant
		console with which these voice terminals share lines.
	●	Night Service with Outward Restriction. The administrator can set the
		system so that people must dial a password to place calls after hours. He
		or she can also create a list of emergency numbers that people can dial
		even if they don’t know the password. If a voice terminal shouldn’t be
		restricted at all, even after hours, the administrator can assign it to an
		Exclusion list.
	●	Night Service with Time Set. The administrator can set the system
		to turn Night Service on and off automatically, at preset times. If the
		administrator sets on and off times only, the system will automatically
		turn on and off Night Service with Group Assignment at those times. If
		the administrator sets on and off times and a 4-digit password, the system
		will automatically turn on and off Night Service with Group Assignment
		and Outward Restriction at those times.
CONSIDERATIONS	●	If the administrator sets the system for Night Service with Group
		Assignment, he or she can assign a voice terminal to more than one Night
		Service group and can put as many voice terminals as needed into each
		group.
	● Voice terminals on the Night Service Exclusion list retain the call
		restrictions, if any, placed on them during normal working hours.

● Because people with basic telephones cannot enter a password, they will not be able to place after-hours calls when Night Service with Outward Restriction is in place, unless the administrator assigns the basic
