Using Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment

During the day, lines A and B do not ring at extensions X and Y. When you turn Night Service on, calls on line A ring immediately at the fax (extension X). Since that line is not assigned to any other extension in the Night Service Group, only extension X receives fax transmissions. Likewise, with Night Service on, calls on line B ring immediately at the modem (extension Y).

NOTE:

If answering machines are connected to Night Service extensions, you can join a call that was already answered by an answering machine from any system phone. If you have a Lucent Technologies answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, the answering machine drops off the call when you join it.

Programming Night Service with Auxiliary

Equipment

Use the following procedure to program Night Service with auxiliary equipment.

1.If extension X and Y are key extensions, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).

If extensions X and Y are pooled extensions, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines A and B from all pools and Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from extensions X and Y. Also use Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).
