## Night Service

## Definition

Night service denotes a different pattern for incoming trunk (external) line traffic than that normally applicable.

There are three types of night service:

- Night service-system
- Night service-trunk (external) line group
- Night Service-ACD-Group(s)
  (105/155 34‑ASB 150 02 Uen)

## Use

System night service is employed when for example the company closes for the day and it is desired that all calls be directed to extension users still working e.g. doorkeeper or watchman.

System night service also affects TCD-(Trunk Call Discrimination) analysis whereby the extension's night service category (COS) applies.

Night service for a trunk line group is used when the company consists of various departments with own trunks that can be night-switched groupwise.

Night service for ACD-group(s) is used to distribute incoming ACD calls after office hours ACD‑Groups (105/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

The function can also be utilised when several companies share the same PBX (Tenant-function).

### Activation of functions for night-switched trunk line groups

An example of this is night service category for TCD‑analysis.

To activate the already night-switched trunk line groups:

1. Enter *80#.

## Capacity

For night service each trunk can be assigned an individual answering position for manual incoming calls and a reoute position for automatic incoming (DDI) calls.

The trunks can be divided in up to eight groups with an optional number of members per group.

## Limitations

Night service can be activated only by the or those extensions that possess a facility category which includes night service.

## Programming

### Programming of answering positions

Each trunk is to be assigned both an individual answering position and alternative answering position for night service.

1019 |  | Night-switching group
