You can use the Background Terminal (BGD) to
— Display message queue size. In response to customer requests, the
system displays messages that reflect event changes for rooms associated
with Automatic Wake Up, Message Registration, or Room Status. The
queue size ranges from 20 to 255 messages and is defined in the system
Configuration Record (LD 17). The default value is 20 messages, and the
message length is six words.
The messages are collected for customers who have Display Terminals.
The actual messages are output only to the BGD that has been defined as
a Display Terminal.
— Define name strings associated with Room Directory Numbers (DNs),
and to print these names for specified rooms.
— Provide Call Number Information Messages (CNIMs) that provide
calling and called DN information to BGD ports. This facilitates the
automatic display of guest names or other DN-related information.
— Generate traffic reports. Wake Up and display message statistics are
accumulated daily starting at midnight and stored in the system for a
maximum of two days. When a Print Traffic command is issued, the
report for the day is printed.
