1.23.2 Room Status Control
Description
A PT with a 6-line display designated as a hotel operator extension can be used to view and change the
check-in and check-out 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 two 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.
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:
[Example Use: Check-in Mode]
When in Room Status Control mode, the hotel operator's extension is treated as a busy extension, similar
to when performing PT programming. Callers to that extension will hear a busy tone.
All other operations, including pressing other Room Status Control buttons, will be ignored. In addition, the
lights of fixed and flexible buttons do not show their normal display pattern. In order to perform other
operations, the hotel operator must exit Room Status Control mode.
