You may be able to activate Night Service for your system. Used after
normal working hours, Night Service redirects your system's incoming
calls to where they should ring at night. For example, when most of
your co-workers have left for home, your system may redirect calls to
the security desk. When you activate Night Service, select one of eight
modes of operation:
●Day Mode - normal working hours.
●Night Mode - after hours (usually evening).
●Midnight Mode - late at night to early in the morning.
●Rest Mode - lunch and early evening (dinner time).
●Day Mode 2 - normal working hours.
●Night Mode 2 - after hours (usually evening).
●Midnight Mode 2 - late at night to early in the morning.
●Rest Mode 2 - lunch and early evening (dinner time).
There are two types of Night Service ringing for outside calls:
Assigned Night Answer (ANA) and Universal Night Answer (UNA).
With ANA, specific telephones are programmed to ring at night (like
the security desk in the example above). UNAcauses incoming calls
to ring over the External Paging speakers. If your extension has a line
key for the call, just press the line key to pick up the UNAcall. In
addition, you may be able to dial the Universal Answer Code to pick
up calls for which you don't have line keys.
Your system may switch Night Service modes automatically. Check
with your Communications Manager if this happens, and when the
switch-over occurs.
