Night Service with Outward Restriction 4
This section contains instructions for setting Night Service so that only authorized
users can place non-emergency calls when Night Service is in effect. This
prevents unauthorized after-hours use of telephones.
Calls to non-local UDP extensions can be made even while Night Service
restricted.
Calls to non-emergency numbers do not go through unless a password is entered
first. You can include up to 10 telephone numbers on the Night Service
Emergency List. If a HotLine extension dials an outside number, that telephone
number should be on the Night Service Emergency List or the extension should
be on the Exclusion List. Each number can have a maximum of 12 digits.
Once you specify that a password is required, the password applies to all
telephones in the system when Night Service is activated at any operator position.
If users need to make after-hours calls and prefer not to enter a password, you
can set up an Exclusion List that exempts those extensions from the password
requirement. Extensions assigned to the Exclusion List keep the normal calling
restrictions, if any are assigned, when Night Service is in effect. However, these
extensions are not protected in any other way from unauthorized after-hours use.

On Form 9b, Night Service: Outward Restriction:
