Night Service with Coverage Control
System Managers can set Night Service, in combination with any other Night Service options, to control the status of programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons at Night Service member extensions. This allows the System Manager to turn on the voice messaging system (VMS) coverage of outside calls automatically.

Night Service with Coverage Control does not work for non-local dial plan extensions. |
A coverage sender with a VMS Calling Group assigned as a receiver can program a Coverage VMS Off button to prevent outside calls from being sent to voice mail. When Coverage VMS Off is inactive (button is unlit), inside and outside calls go to voice mail. When the programmed feature is active (button is lit), only inside calls go to voice mail.
The System Manager can enable Night Service with Coverage Control through system programming. The option then automatically activates Coverage VMS Off buttons at member extensions when Night Service operation begins. When Night Service goes off, the Coverage Control option automatically deactivates member extensions' Coverage VMS Off buttons so that outside calls are no longer covered by voice mail.
A user at a member extension can press the Coverage VMS Off button to change its status, regardless of Night Service operation. When the next Night Service transition takes place, all programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons reflect the current Night Service status. The most recent event, whether it is a Night Service transition or a user button-press, governs the status of the Coverage VMS Off buttons.
