NIGHT SERVICE OPERATION
Your system is designed to have alternate modes of operation generally designated as
NIGHT
service.
NIGHT
service permits incoming calls to ring at different locations
than normal day operation.
Since it is customary, to have more than two operating modes, in the Hotel / Motel
industry, the iDCS 500 HOTEL/MOTEL software allows for three different ringing modes.
These ringing modes can be designated as
DAY
(RP1),
NIGHT
(RP2) and
WEEKEND
(RP3) operation.
Note: For each administration station designating the keys as DAY, NIGHT, and WKEND
keys, a technician will have to program these keys as
RP
(Ring Plan) keys in MMC 722.
For example:
Phone Label
MMC 722 Setup
DAY key
=
(RP1)
NIGHT key
=
(RP2)
WKEND key
=
(RP3)
When the DAY/NIGHT/WKEND key is pressed, the phone system will change ring
operating modes (i.e. from day ringing to night ringing). The associated LED on the key
will light steady to indicate the mode that is activated.
NIGHT
service may be set automatically or manually. Class of service dialing restric-
tions can also be set to correspond with these modes. You may change the
NIGHT
service at any time. For Automatic Night Service each mode has an on time and off
time for each day. If no automatic timer is set, you must change modes manually.
AUTOMATIC NIGHT SERVICE
Automatic Night Service is turned on and off according to the programmed on and off
times. These programmed times use the system clock as a reference, so the system
clock must be set correctly.
NOTE: Manually setting Night Service will override automatic settings.

MANUAL NIGHT SERVICE
There are several methods that can be used to manually set Night Service. Two of
these methods require administrator or business keysets with programmed NIGHT
keys. The third is the single line telephone operation.
•
The first method utilizes a single
NIGHT
(RP) key on the administrator or business
display keyset. When this key is pressed, the display will prompt you to enter a
passcode. After entering the passcode, the display will prompt you to dial the Ring
Plan number press the soft key that corresponds with the night service desired.
•
The second method utilizes a dedicated
RING PLAN
(RP) key, for each of the
three ring modes, on the administrator and business keysets. You simply press the
key that corresponds with the Night Service mode desired. When this key is
pressed, the display will prompt you to enter a passcode. After entering the
passcode, the display will confirm that the desired mode is set.
•
The third method is performed by an administrator or business single line tele-
phone. From the single line telephone, dial the
RING PLAN
(RP) feature access
code, enter the passcode, and dial “0” for
DAY
mode, “1” for
NIGHT
mode, or “2”
for
WEEKEND
mode. When properly set you will receive a confirmation tone.
NOTE:
A keyset with no
