GDS 600 Hospitality Programming Manual Version 1.3.1 5
Overview
The intent of this document is to provide the installer with instructions on how
to program the GDS 600 Hospitality Series for Hotel / Motel Applications. Specific
emphasis is placed on the Lodging Features and a logical step by step approach is
employed for speed and convenience. This is a supplement to the original installation and
programming manual. Should you require additional information please refer to the
original manual.
The manual is divided into various sections in a sequential order. Follow these sections in
order and refer to detailed descriptions of them as required. For dealers already familiar
with the system you may use the following quick reference for programming purposes. If
additional information is required on specific feature operation and programming please
read the detailed description immediately following the quick reference section.
What can the Hospitality program do
The Hospitality program contains many different features aimed at Hotel/Mel use. As
many or as little of these features can be used as required to suit the customer. The very
simplest Hotel setup is to use PSTN lines with Meter pulses and a Serial printer
connected directly to the GDS system. The next step up is to use ISDN lines with the
Advice of charge feature and use the system programming to overcome the AOC
charging anomalies inherent in this feature. Alternatively the system can use either PSTN
or ISDN or a mixture of both but use its own internal tables to set charging rates for all
calls. Up to 500 entries are available for this feature. All of these uses can be paired with
the Serial printer to provide a very cost effective charging system for the simpler Hotels.
The GDS is network enabled and it is strongly recommended that the system is
connected to the Hotel network or front desk computer by a LAN connection. Once this
connection is made then the front desk computer can log to the system using a Web
Browser program and control all facets of system and Front Desk operation including
printing bills from its own printer connection rather than needing a dedicated Serial printer
although this is still possible if so desired.
The optional VMU card will provide full Auto Attendant or operator overflow features as
well as customized Wake up messages and personalized Music on Hold recordings. Also
available with this card is a full Hotel Voice Mail service with standard Voice Mail
operation for Administration phones but specially tailored Voice Mail operation for guest
rooms with a simplified Menu structure and fully controlled by the Hotel Check in/Check
out functions.
When the VMU is installed there is a Voice prompted menu for the Front desk operator
which instructs them in how to do the operations for guest management such as Check
In/Out etc where these are being done manually from the operator console.
The GDS system has a full featured PMS interface allowing many Front Desk packages
to take control of the system features like Check In/Out, Guest names, Wake Up calls,
Message waiting etc all automatically from the Customers management package.
