Groups of Extensions
4-39
■ If you install a voice messaging system, assign the system extensions associated with the
voice messaging system to Hunt Group 7. Then assign outside lines to Hunt Group 7 for
Automated Attendant Service. Callers hear a greeting and are prompted to enter digits to
transfer to a specific extension or group without the assistance of the receptionist.

Night Service Group Extensions (#504) 4
Use this feature to assign extensions to the Night Service Group. When Night Service is on and
a call comes in, all extensions in the Night Service Group ring immediately, regardless of normal
Line Ringing settings. Any extensions that would normally ring during the day also ring.
Considerations 4
■ Do not include extensions connected to certain auxiliary equipment (auto attendants, voice
messaging systems, internal or external hotline telephones, or doorphones) in the Night
Service Group.
■ A user in the Night Service Group can receive an after-hours outside call only if it comes in
on a line or pool that is assigned to that user’s telephone. Line or pool assignments for
extensions in the Night Service Group can vary from one extension to another.
■ If you program a System Password (#403) when Night Service is on, users in the Night
Service Group can dial only numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) and
Marked System Speed Dial numbers without entering the System Password.
