Hospitality features
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
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. Communication Manager 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 Communication Manager (via the check-in button on the
console) or remotely via a Property Management System (PMS) system, Communication Manager
assigns a DID number to the checked-in room from a list that is assigned at the server. 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.
