When checking in a group of consecutive DNs, the second DN entered must
be a higher number than the first.
After setting the status of one or more guest room DNs, a confirmation
message may be displayed or printed. If the "confirm" option is off, the
updated status is not automatically displayed or printed (see "Define options
for the Set command" on page 17).
You may not be able to use the SET command with all DNs, with a group of
consecutive DNs, or with X substitution, if any of these options are turned off
(see "Define options for the Set command" on page 17).
Languages are numbered from 0–5. Two-letter identifiers may be set using
the SEt OPtion command (see "Set language identifiers for wake-up
announcements" on page 48).
Set VIP status to ensure that an important guest receives a personal wake-up
greeting from the attendant.
Guest registration and occupancy parameters
Rooms must meet sale criteria to be able to be checked-in; that is, they must
have the status VAcant and PAssed inspection.
The occupancy status of a room is automatically changed to OCcupied when
you set the status to CHecked-IN, or to VAcant when you set the status to
CHecked-OUt. Manually setting any other room status of a DN does not
affect the current settings of other aspects of room status, such as guest room
telephone Class of Service or cleaning status.
The CHeck-IN and OUt commands can also be set to perform other tasks
automatically (see "Set check-in, check-out parameters" on page 102). If this
is not desirable, you can enter any of this information manually.
The CHecked-IN status is not indicated in a status printout. Checked-in status
is inferred from the OCcupied status.
The CHecked-OUt status is not indicated in a status printout. Checked-out
status is inferred from the VAcant status.
