■ When Night Service is turned off and normal operation is resumed, all
Coverage VMS Off buttons are activated. Calls follow normal coverage
patterns for business-hours operation.
Users can manually override this system-programmed setting by pressing the
Coverage VMS Off buttons at their extensions.
Planning Guidelines 6
Revising Night Service with Coverage Control may affect other features. For more
information, see the
Feature Reference.
If the person at an extension has pressed the programmed Coverage VMS Off
button at the telephone (either to turn voice-mail coverage on or off), the Night
Service with Coverage Control feature does not toggle the telephone button to the
opposite status. For example, if the person at the extension has used the
programmed button to turn voice mail coverage off and Night Service is activated,
the system-programmed feature has no effect. The voice mail system does not
cover calls for the person at the extension. When normal business-hour operation
is resumed, voice mail coverage remains off at the extension. In this way, users
can activate voice mail coverage, when, for example, they are going to be away
from the office for the entire working day, without worrying about whether the
system turns voice mail coverage off.
