automatic assignment to Night Service groups of only those
lines that ring on the Night Service operator console. An outside
line must be assigned to a Night Service group to receive Night
Service treatment.
With this enhancement, Night Service can be activated and
deactivated on lines that do not appear on operator consoles
(for example, personal lines), and lines appearing at operator
positions can be excluded from Night Service.
■ Forward on Busy
Beginning with Release 4.1, the Forward, Follow Me, and
Remote Call Forward features are enhanced to remove the
requirement that a call be ringing at an extension before it can
be forwarded. With the Forward on Busy enhancement, a call to
a station with no available SA (System Access) or ICOM
(Intercom) buttons is forwarded immediately to the programmed
destination, preventing the caller from hearing a busy signal
from the intended call recipient’s extension.
■ Maintenance Testing for BRI Facilities That Are Part of
Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs)
Beginning with Release 4.1, the NI-1 BRI (National Integrated
Services Digital Network-1 Basic Rate Interface) Provisioning
Test Tool is enhanced to include testing for BRI facilities that are
part of Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs).
The NI-1 BRI Provisioning Test Tool is used by Lucent
Technologies maintenance personnel on MERLIN LEGEND
Communications Systems that include an 800 NI-BRI module.
The tool is used during system installation and maintenance to
test the functionality of the BRI lines and report analyzed
results.
