Property Management System (PMS) Digit to Insert/Delete
Property Management System (PMS)
Digit to Insert/Delete
Many customer configurations base the room telephone extension on the room number
by adding an extra leading digit. The PMS Insert/Delete Digit feature allows users to
delete the leading digit of the extension in messages. The feature is useful for a hotel that
has multiple extensions sharing an extra leading digit in front of the room number. The
leading digit is automatically inserted when the message goes to the PBX.
NOTE:
The PMS interface supports 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions, but prefixed extensions
do not send the entire number across the interface. Only the assigned extension
number is sent. Therefore, you should not use prefixed extensions for numbers
that are also going to use the Digit to Insert/Delete function.
Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed
Station Numbering
Allows hotel staff and guests easy access to internal hotel/motel services and provides
the capability to associate room numbers with guest room telephones. The feature
provides the following dial plan types: single-digit dialing, prefixed extensions, and mixed
numbering.
Auto-Selection of DID Numbers
Allows the hotel to give guests a telephone number that is not associated with the room
number. The telephone number will be a Direct Inward Dialed (DID) number and will
change each time someone checks in. There is an Automatic Digit Rotation that allows
the number to change and be picked randomly from a block of DID numbers whenever a
new guest checks in.
Station Hunt Before Coverage
This feature changes the interaction that occurs between station hunting and call
coverage. Station Hunt before Coverage causes a call going to a busy station to go
through a station hunting process before going to coverage. If all the stations in the Hunt
group are busy, the call will go to the coverage path.
