Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment

Using Auxiliary Equipment

To Program:

1.If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign one or more lines to extension X (including line A).

If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove line A from all pools. Then use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign pools to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301) to assign line A and any other individual lines to extension X.

2.For extension X, set Automatic Line Selection to select pools and outside lines first (line A selected first).

For all other extensions, set Automatic Line Selection so that line A is the last line in the select sequence. That way, the modem line is used for outgoing voice calls only when all other lines are busy.

3.Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X to Immediate Ring. Set all other lines or pools assigned to extension X to No Ring. (For all other extensions, set line A to No Ring.)

4.Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.

5.Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension, Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505).

Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment

You can set up modems, fax machines, and answering machines to receive calls automatically after hours. When Night Service is on, calls ring immediately at the appropriate extensions, so that no human intervention is required to transfer calls to the fax, modem, or answering machine. When Night Service is off, you can use the auxiliary equipment lines for normal business purposes, so that lines are dedicated to auxiliary equipment only after hours.

NOTE:

With the exception of headphones, auxiliary equipment works only on Tip Ring ports (the bottom two ports of the PARTNER Endeavor 362 processor or 362EC expansion module). Because headphones do not require a ring, they can be plugged into any port.

By putting auxiliary equipment in the Night Service Group as described in this section, auxiliary equipment can start ringing and answering calls whenever you turn Night Service on. In other words, the Night Service button at extension 10 acts like a switch, turning auxiliary equipment on and off, as well as putting the system into Night Service.

NOTE:

If you have a voice messaging system, turning Night Service on also activates Night Service operation of the voice messaging system.
