Night Service with Outward Restriction	4

This section contains instructions for setting Night Service so that only authorized users can place non-emergency calls when Night Service is in effect. This prevents unauthorized after-hours use of telephones.

Calls to non-local UDP extensions can be made even while Night Service restricted.

Calls to non-emergency numbers do not go through unless a password is entered first. You can include up to 10 telephone numbers on the Night Service Emergency List. If a HotLine extension dials an outside number, that telephone number should be on the Night Service Emergency List or the extension should be on the Exclusion List. Each number can have a maximum of 12 digits.

Once you specify that a password is required, the password applies to all telephones in the system when Night Service is activated at any operator position.

If users need to make after-hours calls and prefer not to enter a password, you can set up an Exclusion List that exempts those extensions from the password requirement. Extensions assigned to the Exclusion List keep the normal calling restrictions, if any are assigned, when Night Service is in effect. However, these extensions are not protected in any other way from unauthorized after-hours use.
