Check In/Check Out Status
You can allow the attendant to review the check-in/check-out status by assigning
an occ-rooms (occupied rooms) button on the Attendant Console screen.
When the attendant activates check-in/check-out mode, the DXS lamps light for
every occupied room.
Maid Status
You can allow the attendant to review the maid status by assigning a maid-stat
button on the Attendant Console screen.
When the attendant activates the maid status mode, the system prompts the
attendant to enter the room status number (1 to 6) that they want to review. You
can define these six room states on the Hospitality screen. Once they enter a room
state, the display shows the definition of the room state and lights the DXS lamps
for every room in that state.
While the console is in maid status mode, the attendant can review another room
state by entering the room status number.
NOTE:
The attendant cannot make outgoing calls via the keypad while the console
is in maid status mode; they must return to normal mode.
Automatic Selection of DID Numbers to Guest
Rooms
Automatic Selection of DID Numbers for Guest Rooms allows you to give guests,
upon check-in, phone numbers that provide direct dial access to their room. The
switch automatically chooses a number from a rotating list of available DID
numbers to be assigned to a guest’s room. This provides a measure of privacy to
your guests because providing the phone number does not give away the room
number.
Callers would use a 7- to 10-digit number from outside of the hotel. For calls from
inside the hotel, callers would use either the room/extension number or the 2- to
5-digit DID number.
For example, when a check-in is done from the switch (via the
CHECK-IN button on
the console) or remotely via a Property Management System (PMS) system, the
switch assigns a DID number to the checked-in room from a list that is assigned at
the switch. All calls made to the DID number are directed to the room as if the
room was called directly.
NOTE:
The following process presumes you have established a dial plan and
administered all DID numbers to their extensions (on the Station
screen) as XDID station types.
