Service status is not affected by Night Service operation at the extension of an
operator who handles another Night Service group. If a line is assigned to an
operator position but not included in a Night Service group, Night Service does not
affect it. The following types of lines can be assigned to a Night Service group:
■ Analog ground-start and loop-start lines/trunks as well as digital T1 voice
operation lines that emulate these types
■ ISDN digital PRI lines that are routed by line appearance
■ Digital NI-1 BRI lines
■ Automatic incoming tie trunks
The following types of lines cannot be assigned to a Night Service group:
■ DID (Direct Inward Dial)
■ ISDN digital PRI routed by dial plan
■ Tie trunks directed to an extension (dial-in tie trunks)
■ Lines whose ports are programmed for Loudspeaker Paging, Alarm, or
Music on Hold
For information about how Night Service works with coverage, see “Covering
Calls” on page 4–34 ; to learn more about Night Service and calling restrictions,
see “Night Service with Outward Restriction” on page 4–47 .
Other Groups 4
Other groups are assigned to enhance the use of specific system features:
■ Pickup groups can be assigned when people need to answer one another’s
calls (see
“Pickup” on page 4–37 ).
■ Paging groups are used for extensions that have speakerphones and are
located in the same work areas or departments. All members of a group
can be paged at once. (Note that the Loudspeaker Paging feature is
different; a loudspeaker paging system can support
zones for broadcasting
to different areas of a company.)
■ Coverage groups are described “Covering Calls” on page 4–34 .
Data Communications 4
You will not find a great deal about data communications in the Feature Finders
earlier in this chapter. Although the system allows data communications, it does
so with features that also support other functions. Full descriptions of data
communications and the equipment for data communications are included in the
Feature Reference and Data/Video Reference.
“Data Communications Adjuncts”
on page 3–40 also provides information about data communications equipment.
