SECURITYlALERT:
!
Avoid programming a remote access line as a destination for Night Service
for any published telephone number. Professional toll-fraud criminals scan
telephone directories for published local and 800 telephone numbers. Using
these numbers, they attempt to gain access to the system, then may use
such features as Remote Access to reach outside facilities from within the
system. For additional information about toll fraud, see Appendix A,
“Customer Support Information.”
An extension in a Night Service group is considered unavailable, and a Night
Service call does not ring at that extension when any of the following situations
occur:
■ A telephone is in extension or system programming mode.
■ A user with an MLX display telephone is using Alarm Clock or Directory
features.
■ A telephone is busied-out for maintenance or system programming.
■ All SA or ICOM buttons are in use.
■ A single-line telephone user is on a call.
NOTE:
Up to eight Night Service groups can be created, one for each operator.
There is no limit to the number of extensions assigned to each group. Each
extension can be assigned to more than one group.
Night Service with Outward Restriction 30
Night Service with Outward Restriction prevents unauthorized after-hours use of
extensions. When this option is programmed, only authorized operators can
activate and deactivate Night Service, and only authorized users can place calls.
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Night Service
outward restriction does not apply to non-local dial plan calls.
A system operator must enter a password to activate or deactivate Night Service.
When one operator activates or deactivates Night Service this way, all consoles
are put into Night Service. If Night Service groups are assigned, Night Service is
activated or deactivated for all groups and cannot be activated or deactivated
independently for each group. When the Night Service feature is activated, enter a
password before making a nonemergency outside call. When you have entered
the correct password, the system checks for calling restrictions assigned to your
extension before allowing the call.
