Busy Threshold
Use this field if you want attendants to control access to outgoing and two-way
trunk groups during periods of high use. When the threshold is reached and the
warning lamp for that trunk group lights, the attendant can activate trunk group
control: internal callers who dial out using a trunk access code will be connected
to the attendant, and the attendant can prioritize outgoing calls for the last
remaining trunks. Calls handled by AAR and ARS route patterns go out normally.
Night Service
This field sets the destination to which incoming calls go when Night Service is in
operation. If a Night field on the Group Member Assignments page is
administered with a different destination, that entry will override the group
destination for that trunk. CPE, DID, and DIOD trunk groups do not support night
service.

Whenever possible, use a night service destination on your switch:
otherwise some features won’t work correctly, even over a DCS network.
