Night Service with Outward Restriction

Night Service with Outward Restriction prevents unauthorized after-hours use of extensions to make external calls. When this option is programmed, only authorized operators can activate and deactivate Night Service, and only authorized users can place external calls. Authorized users can generate only one external call at a time.

 

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 non-emergency outside call. When you have entered the correct password, the system checks for calling restrictions assigned to your extension before allowing the call.

A Night Service Emergency Allowed List of emergency numbers can include up to 10 numbers, each with no more than 12 digits. Users who do not know the Night Service password can dial only the numbers on the list; calls to numbers not on the list do not go through unless the caller enters a password.

One Exclusion List for Night Service can be created to exempt specific extensions from the password requirement. An unlimited number of extensions can be assigned to the list. Normal calling restrictions (if any) assigned to the extension, however, are still in effect. Unrestricted extensions on the list are not protected against unauthorized after-hours use.

HotLine extensions cannot dial the Night Service Emergency numbers or the Night Service password.
