Night Service Not Working

NOTES:

1.Be sure to change the system time appropriately when Daylight Savings Time starts and when it ends. System time affects the functioning of several system features, including Automatic Backup, Night Service, Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) reports, standalone auto attendant systems, voice mail, and Reminder Service.

2.In Release 4.1 and later systems, Night Service with Coverage Control affects the status of voice mail coverage for extensions with programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons. If you are having problems with this aspect of Night Service, see ‘Calls‘ Not Going to Voice Mail’’, beginning with Possible Cause 3 on page 8-17.

Possible Cause 1: The system time and/or day may be set incorrectly.

What to do: Use system programming to check the setting of the system time and date (see Chapter 3 in System Programming) or check the time at an MLX display telephone.

■If the settings are incorrect, correct them and activate Night Service again. If it is now working, you have solved the problem. If not, go to Possible Cause 2.

■If the settings are correct, go to Possible Cause 2.

Possible Cause 2: If the system has Night Service with Time Set, the start and stop time or day of week may be set incorrectly (see Chapter 3 in System Programming).

What to do: Use system programming to check the settings for the Night Service with Time Set daily start and stop times.

■If the settings are incorrect, correct them and activate Night Service again. If it is now working, you have solved the problem. If not, go to Possible Cause 3.

■If the settings are correct, go to Possible Cause 3.
