1.27.2 Room Status Control

1.27.2 Room Status Control
Description
A PT with a 6-line display designated as a hotel operator extension can be used to view and set the Check-in/
Check-out/Cleaned-up (Ready or Not Ready) status of guest rooms associated with extensions.
Any wired extension can be used as a room extension without special programming.
Flexible buttons on the hotel operator's extension can be set as Room Status Control buttons. The 3 types of
Room Status Control buttons are as follows:
•
Check-in
Switches the status of selected room extensions from Check-out to Check-in.
Telephone charges are cleared and Remote Extension Dial Lock is turned off, allowing calls to be made
from the extension.
•
Check-out
Switches the status of selected room extensions from Check-in to Check-out.
Room extension data, such as Timed Reminder or Last Number Redial data, is cleared, and Remote
Extension Dial Lock is turned on, restricting some calls. This can be useful to prevent the room extension
from being used when no guest is checked in.
When checking a room extension out, the operator can enter customer charges such as minibar charges.
A guest bill showing these charges, as well as call charges, can be printed. If necessary, the guest charge
data entered can be edited later, and the bill reprinted.
•
Cleaned-up
Switches the status of selected room extensions between Ready and Not Ready.
When a guest checks out of a room, the room status becomes Checked-out and Not Ready. After the room
has been cleaned, the status can be changed to Checked-out and Ready using this button. It is also
possible to change the status back to Checked-out and Not Ready if necessary.
Room Status Control Mode
Pressing a Room Status Control button when the PT is idle allows the hotel operator extension to enter Room
Status Control mode. When in Room Status Control mode, the corresponding Room Status Control button's
light flashes red. The Room Status Control button that was pressed determines which room status each room
extension can be switched to. For example, if the Check-in button was pressed, the Check-in button's light
flashes red and the hotel operator can select which room extensions to check-in.
In addition, DSS buttons on the hotel operator's extension or a paired DSS Console show the room status of
each extension as follows:
