particularly useful when applied to personal lines. Night Service lines do not have
to be assigned to the Night Service group operator’s extension, nor are all lines
assigned to an operator position automatically assigned to that operator’s Night
Service group. If a line is assigned to a Night Service operator extension but not
assigned to the Night Service group, it is excluded from Night Service.
There is no limit to the number of lines and extensions that can be assigned to a
Night Service group. A line or extension can be assigned to more that one group.
The following types of lines can be assigned to a Night Service group in a Release
4.1 or later system:
■ 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
■ Automated incoming tie trunks
The following types of lines cannot be assigned to a Night Service group:
■ DID (Direct Inward Dial)
■ ISDN digital PRI lines that are 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
