Finnish term or phrase: välittäjäsiirtopaikka
Yökytkentä
Kaikki ulkopuhelut siirtyvät yökytkennän ollessa päällä (esim. lounastauolla tai työajan päätyttyä) heti tiettyyn sisäiseen puhelimeen (yökytkentäkohteeseen). Järjestelmän ylläpitäjä voi määritellä kohteen (= kiinteä yökytkentäkohde), tai voit määritellä kohteen myös itse (= valinnainen yökytkentäkohde). Kun yökytkentä on päällä, yökytkentäkohde toimii välittäjäsiirtopaikkana.

When I read the passage more closely, it could also be \"switchboard\" (without any automatic), if the person who answers the phone can transfer the call to the phone requested. Pretty much like the traditional \"switchboard Susan\", that is.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jonathan Widell: Yes, Desmond, when the Finnish original is unnatural as "välittäjäsiirtopaikka," everything is possible. But, a state-owned company in Finland is called Transpoint (from transfer point), and it ain't got nothing to do with phones but with the railroad.
