Put two 3300's into night at once

Is it possible to put two 3300's of a cluster into night service at once? Customer used to be SX2000 connected to 3300. At the end of the day site A ( the SX2000 ) was thrown into Night 1 and the operators went home. Replaced the SX2000 with a pair of 3300's ( needed for the retaining the 10 per nodes. We split them between controllers ). Anyw
ay back to my problem. When the 5550 Console operator oes home an throws 3300#A into night only it goes into night but acutally would like to MANUALLY put both into night on site A, the other location is a single system so they control their own night service.

All at MCD 5 SP1
2 3300's MXe III's at site A and Cxi at Site B
one 5550 Ip console.
Think 5540 at Site B

Probably going to have to go with schedule for night service but customer would prefer the flexability of being able to control it as they do the night service 1 thing when they evacuate for fire drills etc.

I know features are supposed to work across a cluster. Not sure in this example.



I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
 
May be you can use Scheduler ? But night service must be activated only in a precise moment
 
Not manually no

Scheduled yes

3300 could've handled 10 per nodes I believe

Didn't think so. Maybe I will add to the wish list. Its a hospitality cluster so maybe it might be a nice option. Ya think!

@ loopylou, if the two 3300's are located next to each other (IE they are just there to provide service to the 10 nodes) could you not use one as trunking gateway so when you put it into night service it would do all the rerouting for the other (assuming that you only use NS for call rerouting)
 
This was a SX2000 migration so when we split the nodes ( 5 each ) the RADs ended up on the secondary. They used the RAD's as a guest AA. However after a certain hour they cut off access by throwing the system into Night 1 and using always Night 1 rerouting to send calls to console. As you likely guessed Consoles on primary. So I was just wondering in my original question if both could be put into night together. The answer being no means we just have to do a bunch of port juggling and we will move the RAD's to the primary. Its just a headache as the per nodes are pretty much jammed packed. My bitch ones most features work across a cluster ( even PMs with a hospitality clustering ). Would have been nice to have this option as well.

Scheduling is good but they like the flexibility they had of going to night one at different times.

Have you considered using a speedcall that could set the night service on both?

On successful setting of service the system returns dialtone. A speedcall could be designed to set the service on both systems with pauses in between.

kwbMitel interesting thought have not tried it.
