Night Service
DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAMMING
When the person who usually answers calls leaves for the day, you can make
answering calls after hours easy for night shift personnel and security guards by
providing Night Service for your office. You can implement Night Service one
of three ways:
●
●
●
Provide the person with a voice terminal that has all the lines, or have the
person monitor the attendant console and answer calls there. Be sure that all
lines on which calls come in after hours are set for immediate ring. If the
lines are not normally set for this ringing option, the person can activate the
Ring Override feature that he or she has programmed for the voice terminal.
(See “Ring Override.”)
The backup person can also answer calls that come in after hours by
programming a Call Pickup button so that he or she can pickup calls ringing
at the administrator/attendant console. Since the attendant console has all the
lines of your MERLIN Plus system, the person answering calls after hours
can pick up calls at his or her voice terminal by touching the Call Pickup
button when the attendant console rings. (See “Call Pickup.”) If the person
is in another part of the building, the attendant can connect his or her console
and an extra alert device to a Supplemental Alert Adapter (see “Supplemental
Alert Adapter” under “Accessory Equipment”), so that each time a call comes
in, an extra alert device sounds.
You can also choose to administer and activate the Call Forwarding feature
for after-hours use (see “Call Forwarding” in this section). When the system
is in Call Forwarding mode, you can administer incoming calls on designated
lines so that they are connected to a Voice Synthesis Processor (VSP) in the
control unit. The VSP message informs the caller that the call will be
forwarded. While the caller is listening to the message, the control unit calls
the telephone number to which calls are being forwarded and uses the
system’s Conference feature to connect the incoming call to
the outgoing call.
Call Forwarding can be used in conjunction with a MERLIN Attendant for
enhanced Night Service coverage. When used with the MERLIN Attendant,
however, Call Forwarding functions somewhat differently. See the
MERLIN Plus MERLIN Attendant User’s Guide for more information on this
feature.
The system administrator must decide who will answer calls that come in after
hours and how those calls will be answered.
For programming procedures for Call Pickup, Ring Override, and Call
Forwarding features, see the individual entries for these features in this section.
