Names for Extensions and Trunks

Extensions and trunks can have names instead of just circuit
numbers. These names show on a keyset’s display when the user

to identify callers. The user does not have to refer to a directory
when processing calls. Extension and trunk names can consist of upper and lower case letters,
spaces and punctuation. Extension and trunk names can be up to 15 characters long.

Night Service / Night Ring
Availability: All versions.
Night Service redirects trunk calls to their night mode destina-
tion. Typically, the attendant or supervisor activates Night Service
after normal working hours, when most employees are unavail-
able to answer calls. There are two basic types of Night Service:
Assigned Night Answer and Universal Night Answer.
Assigned Night Answer rings extensions directly at Night, providing specific answering points for
Night Service calls. (For example, you can program trunks to ring the security station at night.)
Names help identify trunks
and extension.
Use Night Service to reroute
calls after hours.
