PMS Integration

2. Hotel/Motel Features
Enhanced DSS Operation (“Fast Check-in”)
The phone system provides enhanced integration between a supervisor
telephone’s One Touch Keys and the DSS Console. This simplifies fre-
quently-used facility management features like Check-in, Message
Waiting, Room Call Restriction and Wake Up Calls. For example, to
check a room out the supervisor can just:
●
Press STATUS on the DSS Console to enable the room status
mode.
●
Press a One-Touch Key on the phone programmed for Check-in.
●
Press the room telephone’s DSS Key. The room is automatically
checked in and the DSS Console LED shows the updated check-in
status.
Refer to the DSS Console Monitoring feature for additional details on set-
ting up consoles for Hotel/Motel operation.
Flexible Check-in Messaging
When the phone system changes the Check-in status of a room telephone,
it can optionally send a Room Status (STS) or Check-in Status (CHK)
message to the PMS system. Check the requirements of the PMS system
to see which message type you should use.
Flexible Message Timing
To accommodate the varying response times of different third-party PMS
systems, the phone system provides four programmable messaging timers:
PMS Enquiry Time, PMS Message Time, PMS “Are You There” Time,
and Message Duration Time. These timers set the required response times
and retries for specific messages. To ensure reliable messaging (and mini-
mize message errors), set these timers to meet the requirements of the con-
nected PMS system.
PMS Port Monitoring
Take advantage of PMS Port Monitoring by connecting the PMS port to a
32-Button Display or Super Display telephone with a DCI Module. When
the telephone has a programmed data key:
●
The data key is ON when the PMS is on line.
●
The data key is OFF and the display shows “PMS LINK NOW
OFFLINE” when the PMS is off line.
PMS Port monitoring is not available with 3-DCI Units.
Toll Restriction Conversion
Toll Restriction Conversion allows the PMS system or supervisor to
change the dialing (toll) restriction of any checked-in room telephone.
This allows the PMS system or supervisor to tailor outgoing dialing capa-
bilities for each room telephone anytime during the guest’s stay. This dial-
ing control overrides the automatic Toll Restriction (When Checked In)
setting until the room is checked out, at which point the Toll Restriction is
reset to the previously programmed setting.
