Reasons for Reissue
0
This document replaces the GuestWorks™ server Feature Description,
(555-231-204, Issue 2) that was used on Issue 2.0 and earlier systems. This
document is reissued for the following reasons:
■
■
To update all information related to Issue 3.0 of the GuestWorks server.
®
The user operation for some features has been moved to DEFINITY
Business Communications System and GuestWorks server Issue 3.0
Console Quick Reference, (555-231-735), and GuestWorks server
Issue 3.0 Hospitality Operations, (555-231-741).
■
■
New features have been added, such as Attendant Split Swap, Dual
Wakeup, Dial by Name, and Wakeup Activation via Tones.
To change the command path structure to match existing DEFINITY
products.
Conventions
0
The following conventions are used in this document:
■
The terms “attendant console” and “backup voice terminal” are used in
this document. The attendant console is the Model 302B, 302C, or PC
console that is usually found at the front desk. The backup voice terminal
can be either a Model 8410 or Model 8434 voice terminal with atten-
dant-type feature buttons. Other multiappearance voice terminals can be
used, but the preferred models are the 8410 and 8434.

Buttons you press on the console or backup voice terminal are shown as
follows:
Release
The buttons shown in this document use label designations provided by
Lucent Technologies. Since the button labels can be customized for each
site, some button labeling may have different designations.
Serial
Some button labels, such as

Call
spacing in this document, they are shown across one line of text, such as
Serial Call .

Administration command paths and options you enter in the administra-
tion fields are shown as follows:

The term “dial keypad” refers to the touch-tone keypad where you dial
(enter) telephone numbers and feature access codes.
When a procedure refers to a “room number,” the procedure is referring
to the extension number of the room. Extension numbers and room num-
bers do not always match.
■
Times entered for features, such as Automatic Wakeup and Do Not Dis-
turb, must consist of the hour followed by minutes in a multiple of 5 min-
utes; minute entries that do not meet this requirement will be rounded off
by the server to the nearest multiple of 5. For example, to enter

Times entered in the range from 13:00 to 00:59 represent 1:00 p.m. to
12:59 a.m. Times entered in the range from 01:00 and 12:59 could
represent either a.m. or p.m., so the server prompts you to designate the
correct time.
In all of the procedures where you enter the time of day, 12:00 a.m. is
midnight and 12:00 p.m. is noon.

ASCII Data Over the Server-to-PMS Link
ASCII Data Over the Server-to-PMS
Link
0
The server communicates with the PMS using a message set that contains
guest status information such as the room number and the Call Coverage path.
There are two ways that the guest data can be encoded:
■
Using a combination of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) encoding and the
ASCII character set
■
Using only the ASCII character set.
Through administration, the server can now use this new ASCII message set
exclusively instead of the mixed BCD/ASCII message set.
This ASCII message set makes the GuestWorks server more flexible. The
server still works with existing PMS vendors who use a combination of BCD and
ASCII, but now also works with newly-developed PMS products that support
ASCII guest data.
For more information about the message set and guest data specifications, see
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server (ECS), GuestWorks server, and
System 75 PBX Property Management System Interface Specifications,
(555-231-601).

There is no special hardware required for this feature.
Required Software
To take advantage of this new feature, the PMS software must be compatible
with the ASCII-only guest data message set. Contact your PMS vendor and
request upgraded software that complies with the ASCII-only guest data mes-
sage set as documented in DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server
(ECS), GuestWorks server, and System 75 PBX Property Management System
Interface Specifications, (555-231-601).
Attendant Backup
0
The Attendant Backup feature allows you to access most attendant console fea-
tures from one or more specially-administered multiappearance voice terminals.
Using this backup mode, you can answer calls faster, thus providing better ser-
vice to your guests and prospective clients.
The recommended voice terminals are the Lucent Technologies Model 8434
and Model 8410. When calls terminate at the attendant console during normal
operation, users at the backup voice terminals can answer overflow calls by
pressing a button or dialing a feature access code. You can then process the
calls as if you are at the attendant console. Procedures for basic feature
operation are documented in the quick reference guides for each voice terminal.
NOTE:
The Attendant Backup features cannot be used from guest rooms admin-
istered as “client” rooms even if they have a multiappearance voice termi-
nal.

Attendant Backup
Night
When the attendant console is in the day mode (the
lamp is off), you
cannot answer overflow calls at the backup voice terminals until the number of
calls waiting in the attendant queue has reached an administered threshold.
Until the threshold is reached, the only indication the backup voice terminals
Queue Calls
receive about calls waiting in queue is when the
and the
Queue Time
Queue Time
lamps go on. You can press the
button to see how long
Queue Time
the call has been waiting, but you cannot answer the call. The
lamp
starts flashing when the time in queue warning level has been reached (this is
usually set for 15 seconds). When the calls waiting in queue threshold has been
reached, the backup voice terminals will beep every 10 seconds as long as the
number of calls waiting stays above the threshold. You can then answer calls
using the Trunk Answer Any Station (TAAS) feature access code _____ or an
automatic dialing button administered with that feature access code.
Night
When the attendant console is in the night mode (the
lamp is on), all calls
to the attendant console immediately beep at the backup voice terminals and
Queue Calls
Queue Time
the
and the
lamps go on. You can then answer calls
using the TAAS feature access code _____ or an automatic dialing button
administered with that feature access code.
You can also install an external ringing device that sounds whenever the
attendant queue limit is reached and when calls can be answered with the TAAS
feature access code. This is an optional feature.
User Operation
0
The Attendant Backup feature has no specific user operation procedures. The
user operation for basic console features using the attendant console or a
backup voice terminal is documented in DEFINITY Business Communications
System and GuestWorks server Issue 3.0 Console Quick Reference,
(555-231-735). The user operation for hospitality features is documented in
GuestWorks server Issue 3.0 Hospitality Operations, (555-231-741). For basic
voice terminal operation, see the quick reference guide for the voice terminal.

The Calls in Queue Warninglevel should be set to 1 if the
customer uses the backup voice terminals for most call handling. If
the customer uses the attendant console, you can set this level to
a higher threshold.
The Ext Alert Port (TAAS)field must have an analog circuit
equipment location administered even if you do not have external
ringing equipment connected to the circuit. This is required to
allow the Attendant Backup feature to work properly.
The No Answer Timeoutcontrols when ringing at the console
will stop after a call is waiting in queue. When the timeout occurs,
the console stops ringing, but the call can still be answered. A
good value to begin with is 10.
The Alertingfield controls the timeout limit before the console
automatically goes into Night mode and Position Busy when calls
are not answered. This is a good feature to administer in the situa-
tion where the attendant takes a break or leaves at the end of the
day, and forgets to put the console into Night service. For exam-
ple, if the No Answer Timeoutfield is set to 10 seconds and the
Alertingfield is set to 10 seconds, the following occurs: a call
rings at the console, after 10 seconds the console ringing shuts
off, the call continues to queue for 10 seconds, then the console
goes into Night mode and Position Busy. The call can now be
answered from a backup voice terminal.

Attendant Crisis Alert
Attendant Crisis Alert
0
The Attendant Crisis Alert feature provides a visual, audible, and printed record
when guests or hotel staff place a call to the local emergency service agency.
This gives hotel personnel the ability to assist emergency personnel when they
arrive at the hotel by identifying where the call came from and when the call was
made. This feature uses the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) feature to allow
routing of any emergency service access code (such as 911) to the appropriate
emergency service agency, while also identifying the call for crisis alerting.
For example, the hotel publishes that in emergencies, guests should dial 911 to
reach the local emergency service agency. When the call is placed and
successfully routed to the local emergency service agency, the attendant
console is notified immediately by a special emergency alerting tone and a
special emergency display (the emergency call itself cannot be answered at the
attendant console, but the call information is displayed). The attendant can then
note the room number and contact the appropriate personnel at the hotel to
assist with the emergency.
NOTE:
Each subsequent emergency notification is queued with a 5-second delay
to allow the attendant to finish processing the current emergency notifica-
tion.
The Attendant Crisis Alert feature can be used for any type of emergency such
as a medical emergency from a guest room, a fire in the kitchen, or a burglary.
User Operation
0
The user operation for Attendant Crisis Alert is documented in DEFINITY Busi-

On this form, assign a routing pattern and the alrt Call Type to the
desired emergency service access code. For example, if your emergency
service access code is 911, assign the 911 digit string to a routing pat-
tern and assign it the alrt Call Type. This takes care of the condition
when the guest dials 9 (for local access) and then 911. If a guest dials
only 911, you also want the call to route to the emergency service
agency. You must assign a dialed string of 11 with a different routing pat-
tern that removes the dialed digits 11 and inserts the dialed digit
string 911. The following screens show these two examples administered
as part of the ARS Digit Analysis Table.

Authorization Codes
Authorization Codes
0
The Authorization Codes feature allows hotel staff to access additional calling
features of the server when making toll calls or accessing the server remotely.
Authorization codes may be used for any or all of the following reasons:
■
To allow a calling user to override the FRL assigned to the originating sta-
tion or trunk
■
To restrict individual incoming tie trunks from accessing an outgoing
trunk
■
■
To identify certain calls on CDR records for cost-allocation purposes
To provide additional security control for the system.
When an authorization code is dialed, the FRL assigned to the extension
number, attendant console, incoming trunk group, or remote access trunk group
being used for the call is replaced by the FRL assigned to the authorization
code. The new FRL functions the same as the one it replaces; however, the new
FRL may represent greater or lesser calling privileges than the FRL that it
replaces. Access to any given facility depends on the restrictions associated
with the authorization code FRL.
For example, a supervisor may be at a desk of another user and want to make a
call that is not normally allowed by the FRL assigned to that extension. The
supervisor, however, can still make the call by dialing an authorization code that
has been assigned an FRL that is not restricted from making that type call.
For security reasons, authorization codes range from four to seven digits. The
number of digits in the codes must be a fixed length.
Each authorization code is assigned a COR that contains an associated FRL.
Within a system, access privileges are determined by the FRL assigned to the
facility where the call is originated. When an ARS call is dialed, the system
allows or denies the call based on the FRL of the originating station. COR is
used to restrict internal or non-ARS calls.

Feature Descriptions
When an authorization code is required on some, but not all, trunk groups, the
system prompts for an authorization code when the originating FRL is not
adequate to access the next available trunk group in the routing pattern.
When a remote access caller dials the assigned remote access number and
establishes a connection to the system, the system may request the caller to
dial an authorization code and/or a barrier code. The authorization code defines
the caller’s calling privileges within the system.
If entry of an authorization code is required, it applies to all remote access trunk
groups in the system. If a remote access user must dial an authorization code to
gain access to the system facilities, an authorization code is not requested
again even if the user places a call that routes through ARS.
For security reasons, Authorization codes must be assigned randomly. This also
makes it difficult for one user to guess the authorization code assigned to
another user.
User Operation

When an authorization code is required, users are prompted to enter the autho-

Automatic Route Selection
0
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) World Class Routing (WCR) is used to ensure
that calls use the lowest-cost facility. ARS can also deny calls to specific num-
bers or groups of numbers (for example, 976-xxxx or 900 numbers). ARS rout-
ing patterns can be designed so that the calling party’s COR will dictate the type
of facility for this call, and what to do if all of those facilities are busy.
ARS partitioning is used to provide a method to segregate the guest usage from
the administrative usage. Calls for each group can be routed over different
facilities for an identical dial string. This is accomplished by Class of Restriction
(COR). Guest rooms could be in COR 1, while the hotel staff could be in COR 2.
The COR also defines the Facility Restriction Level (FRL), or calling privileges,
for that class of user. There must be an ARS analysis table for each partition.
The analysis table will provide unique routing of calls made by each group of
callers. Long distance calls made by the administrative users may be routed
over SDN trunks, while a guest who dialed the same dial string could be routed
over a “Time and Charges” type of trunk (required in some states).

Automatic Wakeup
Automatic Wakeup
0
Wakeup calls can be activated by guests from their own room or from the front
desk using the attendant console or a backup voice terminal. If the Dual
Wakeup feature is enabled, each extension can have two wakeup calls active
within one 24-hour time period.
Guest activation of wakeup calls are allowed under two conditions:
■
If the server has a speech synthesizer circuit pack (TN725B), guests are
allowed to activate one wakeup call. The speech synthesizer circuit pack
uses voice prompts to guide the guest through the steps required to acti-
vate or cancel a wakeup call.
■
If the server does not have a speech synthesizer circuit pack, the guests
can use the Wakeup Activation via Tones feature to activate and cancel
their wakeup calls. If the Dual Wakeup feature is enabled, guests can cre-
ate two wakeup calls.
Activation of wakeup calls from the attendant console are done the same way
regardless if the server has a speech synthesizer circuit pack.
The server can place up to 150 wakeup calls in one 15-minute interval, and
there can be a total of 800 wakeup requests at one time. The server delivers a
wakeup call every 2 seconds and up to 800 wakeup calls in a 15-minute time
period as shown above. For example, if many guests select 6:00 a.m. for a
wakeup call, some of the wakeup calls will arrive after 6:00 a.m.
Once a wakeup call is requested, there are several ways the wakeup call can be
delivered:
■
The speech synthesizer circuit pack, where the wakeup message
depends on the time of day.
■
The Integrated Announcement circuit pack (TN750C), which provides
customized wakeup messages. The messages can range from very sim-
ple to a complete sales message in various languages.

■
Music on hold, where the guest hears music when the wakeup call is
made, but hears no other special message.
Customized announcements recorded on the Audichron Recording
device which delivers sales pitches for various hotel functions with the
wakeup call. Audichron can be equipped with time and temperature cir-
cuitry which enables the wakeup announcement to give the time and
temperature. Audichron uses all four ports on a TN763D auxiliary trunk
circuit pack.
■
Silence; the least expensive. The phone only rings and, when answered,
the guest hears silence.
Wakeup calls ring at a guest’s room telephone for 30 seconds. The wakeup call
is repeated three times in 5-minute intervals if the guest does not answer the
call. If the guest does not answer the wakeup call, a lamp on the attendant
console and the backup voice terminals goes on. The attendant or backup voice
terminal user presses a button labeled Failed Wakeup , and the display shows the
failed wakeup information. With this notification, you can contact the guests to
see if there are any problems since they did not answer their wakeup call.
NOTE:
The Failed Wakeup button is administered as an Automatic Message Wait-
ing extension. All failed wakeups send a message to that extension, and
the lamp goes on at the attendant console or backup voice terminal.
The integrated announcement circuit pack is the most flexible of all wakeup
announcements. With this type of announcement, it is possible for the attendant
to select from a variety of wakeup announcements. When the attendant enters a
wakeup time, he or she designates the appropriate message based on the time
of the wakeup call or the language required.

■
■
■
8 minutes, 32 seconds at 16 KHz
4 minutes, 16 seconds at 32 KHz
2 minutes, 8 seconds at 64 KHz.
The integrated announcement circuit pack also has the ability to operate in the
repeat mode where the message repeats for a fixed amount of time before the
guest is disconnected from the call. There is also a barge-in function where the
wakeup announcement is connected at the point where the message is
currently playing, without waiting to start at the beginning.

Call Accounting
0
Call Accounting takes call records supplied by the server, puts the records into a
standard bill format, and sends the billing information to the PMS. When guests
check out, all calls posted to the PMS (local and long distance) are printed auto-
matically on their bill. This gives the hotel better control over revenues gener-
ated by telephone usage. The call records used for the call accounting are
provided by the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature of GuestWorks.
The GuestWorks server solution for call accounting is the Lucent INTUITY
Lodging Call Accounting. This application resides with the Lucent INTUITY
Lodging Voice Messaging on the MAP/5 platform and was developed by the
Homisco Corporation. If your site is using a different call accounting system, it
must be compatible with the GuestWorks server. Two of the supported call
record formats are the Teleseer and printer formats. The Lucent INTUITY
Lodging Call Accounting package uses the printer format.
NOTE:
When the Lucent INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting package is first
installed, the set of extensions and trunks administered on the Guest-
Works server is coordinated with Homisco. If extensions and trunks are
added at a later date, Lucent Technologies and Homisco must be notified
so changes can be added to the call accounting package.

Call Coverage
Call Coverage
0
Call Coverage takes a call intended for a guest’s room and redirects the call to
one, two, or three secondary answering positions if the guest does not answer
or is busy on the telephone. The coverage answering positions could be the
attendant or a voice messaging system. The call follows a preset “coverage
path” which is established for a station or group of stations by server administra-
tion.
The coverage path can have different redirection criteria and destinations for
callers inside and outside of the hotel. An outside call might go to a voice
messaging system while a room-to-room call might go to the attendant.
For office staff personnel, you also have access to features such as Go to Cover
®
and Call Transfer out of AUDIX . With Go to Cover, you can call an associate
and press the Go to Cover button on your voice terminal. This immediately
redirects your call to Lucent INTUITY AUDIX so you can leave a message
without delay. With Call Transfer out of AUDIX, when Lucent INTUITY AUDIX
*
begins to answer a call you have placed to another associate, you can press
8
and call someone else instead of leaving a message.

With a PMS, there is a default coverage path. The coverage path is determined
by what services the guest requires. The front desk clerk has the ability to allow
the default coverage path to be used, or to change to another coverage path. If
the coverage path field in the PMS is left blank, the default coverage path is

used. If zero is entered, then there is no coverage. If a valid coverage path
number is entered, then that coverage path is used.
The PMS can control the coverage path only if the PMS Protocol Mode is set to
“Transparent.” If the PMS is in the “Normal” mode, the server will default to a
“No PMS” mode.
When the PMS is fully active, the following features interact with the Call
Coverage feature:
■
Check-In — The coverage path for the room is set to the path given in the
“check-in” message. If the path in the “check-in” message is blank, then
the Default Coverage Path for Client Rooms is used.
■

■
Check-Out — The coverage path for the room is set to the default cover-
age path.
Room Change — The coverage path is moved from the old room to the
new room. The old room is given the default coverage path.
Room Swap — The coverage paths of the two rooms are swapped.

Controlled Restrictions
The Controlled Toll Restriction feature is a new option with GuestWorks and can
be substituted for either Outward Restriction or Station-to-Station Restriction.
This substitution was done because most PMS products in use today recognize
only four different types of restrictions. Through administration, you can enable
Outward/Toll Restriction, Station-to-Station/Toll Restriction, Termination
Restriction, and Total Restriction.
The ways to activate controlled restrictions are as follows:
■
When you check in a guest, all controlled restrictions are removed from
the room telephone. When the guest checks out, Outward Restriction or
Toll Restriction is enabled for the room telephone.
■
■
When you or a guest sets up a Do Not Disturb request, Termination
Restriction is enabled for the room telephone.
Using a feature access code from the attendant console or from a voice
terminal with console permissions, you can enable any of the controlled
restrictions for a guest room telephone.
■
■
Using a feature access code from the attendant console or from a voice
terminal with console permissions, you can enable any of the controlled
restrictions for the telephones in a group of guest rooms. This grouping is
based on the administered Class of Restriction (COR).
Using the PMS, you can enable any of the individual controlled restric-
tions plus some predefined combinations. These combinations include
the following:
— Outward/toll and station-to-station/toll
— Outward/toll and termination
— Station-to-station/toll and termination
NOTE:
Since current PMS products do not automatically recognize the
new Toll Restriction feature, PMS terminal users must be trained
that Toll Restriction may be substituted for either Outward or Sta-
tion-to-Station Restriction.

Feature Descriptions
Dial by Name
0
The Dial by Name feature allows you to “dial” someone by entering their name
from your touch-tone keypad. This feature is accessible by using the Direct
Access Calling feature and the integrated announcement circuit pack (TN750C)
to create an “auto-attendant” procedure where one of the options allows callers
to enter a person’s name instead of their extension number. The system pro-
cesses the name characters received, and, when a match is found, the number
is dialed automatically.
A typical scenario might go like this:
■
When a call comes in to the system (usually to a Listed Directory Num-
ber), a Direct Access Calling procedure routes the call to an announce-
ment that says, “Hello. You have reached A1 Hotel. Please press 1 for the
operator, press 2 to reach a guest or employee, or press 3 for the reser-
vation desk.”
■
■
When the caller selects 2, the caller then hears, “If you know the person’s
extension, press 1. If you know their name, press 2.”
If the caller does not know the person’s extension number, the caller can
opt to enter the person’s name instead. The caller would press 2.
■
■
The caller is then instructed to enter the person’s name.
As soon as a match is found, the call is placed to that person.
The database for the names used in this feature comes from names entered
into a management terminal or from names entered into a property
management system (PMS) terminal, which are then communicated to the
DEFINITY system during a database update.

Considerations
0
Consider the following when implementing the Dial by Name feature:
■
The names used for this feature cannot have any accent marks or be
characters other than the Roman alphabet. If non-Roman characters
must be entered, the logical equivalent should be used in the names
database.
■
Special characters, such as the dash (-) and the apostrophe (‘), are
ignored if entered into the names database when it comes to using the
Dial by Name feature. For example, when searching on the name O’Neill,
a user should enter “onei” for the initial search. The
entered to represent a dash or apostrophe, but the users must be aware
that special characters are an option.
key can be
*
■
Special characters, such as the pound sign (#), the asterisk (*), and num-
bers 0-9, cause names in the database to be unsearchable. That is, if a
name in the database has any of these characters, a user cannot search
on that name.

Dial by Name
■
■
If a person’s last name is less than four characters long, the caller must
#
press the
key to signify end-of-dialing. This instruction should be part
of the recorded announcement.
The system supports a maximum length of 15-character names (last
name, first name). If the last name is longer than 15 characters, the first
15 characters should be entered. If two or more people have the same
last name and that name is 15 characters long (or longer), the Dial by
Name feature cannot be used to dial those persons.
■
■
Their are no “canned” announcements already recorded on the
announcement circuit pack. All of the announcements for the Dial by
Name feature must be customized on-site.
This feature may provide a security issue for some industries (such as a
hotel or a hospital). If there are people that should not be accessible
using Dial by Name, their name can be entered into the names database
using a numerical digit at the beginning of their last name (such
as 9Carrier). This can be done only if the property management system
will allow non-alphabetic characters at the beginnings of names.

Direct Access Calling
0
Direct Access Calling uses the integrated announcement hardware of the server
to deliver short messages to the caller, such as “Hello. You have reached A1
Hotel. Please press 1 for the front desk, press 2 to reach a guest room, or
press 3 for reservations.” If the caller selects 1, the call routes to the front desk.
If the caller selects 2, the caller is then prompted to dial the room extension
number. If the caller selects 3, the call routes to the hotel’s reservation number
(the number could be local or national). This automated attendant application
speeds call handling and saves time for hotel personnel.
Another application of this feature is to provide your hotel guests a listing of
hotel services and events by way of a daily menu of offerings. Your guests can
call a number and be given a menu of choices. As they select menu options,
they can receive more information or be routed to guest services, such as room
service or housekeeping.

Display Client on Redirection
Display Client on Redirection
0
Security involving the room number and the guest name is a sensitive issue.
When the Class of Service (COS) is set for “client room,” the redirection infor-
mation is not passed to a receiving station. Examples of redirection information
are “b” (busy), “d” (didn’t answer), or “f” (forward). This information could be a
potential security breach, because the display shows a redirection code. This
information might indicate whether guests are in their room.
NOTE:
Blocking this information can cause problems when the server uses the
Lucent INTUITY Lodging voice messaging. When no redirect information
is delivered, the voice messaging system does not know how to answer
the caller. To correct this problem, you must enable the Display Client on
Redirection feature.
The following is a list of call purpose indicators that are displayed when calls are
redirected to the attendant console or to a backup voice terminal:
■
b or B — Busy. Indicates that the called guest is busy and the call is redi-
rected by Call Coverage.
■
co — Controlled Outward Restriction Call. Indicates that a guest
attempted to make an outgoing call, but the room has Outward Restric-
tion applied.
■
■
■
■
cs — Controlled Station-to-Station Restriction Call. Indicates that a guest
attempted to make a call to another guest room, but the room has Sta-
tion-to-Station Restriction applied.
ct — Controlled Termination Restriction Call. Indicates that a guest or an
outside caller attempted to make a call to a guest room, but the called
room has Termination Restriction applied.
d — Don’t Answer or Cover. Indicates that the guest did not answer their
telephone, and the call is redirected to the attendant through Call Cover-
age.
f — Indicates that a call has been redirected using Call Forwarding.

Do Not Disturb
0
The Do Not Disturb feature permits hotel guests to request that calls directed to
the room be blocked for a predetermined period of time. This can be done from
the attendant console, a backup voice terminal, or by guests themselves. If the
server has a speech synthesizer circuit pack, guests can apply their own Do Not
Disturb requests.
NOTE:
If Wakeup Activation via Tones is enabled, the speech synthesizer circuit
pack (TN725B) is disabled from service. This means that guests cannot
enter their own Do Not Disturb requests.
When the room with Do Not Disturb receives an automatic wake-up call, the Do
Not Disturb feature is turned off. If the room with Do Not Disturb receives a
priority call, the call will ring at the guest’s room. Most calls coming to this
station (from another room, or outside calls, or from the attendant), receive
intercept treatment (the call is routed to the attendant, a recorded
announcement, voice messaging, or intercept tone).
The server creates an audit trail report of all voice terminals that are in the Do
Not Disturb mode. See the Reports section (Page 113).

Emergency Access to the Attendant
0
This feature provides a method for emergency calls to go to the attendant.
These calls are generated in two ways:
■
■
The guest knocks the handset off the telephone.
The guest dials the Emergency Access to Attendant feature access
code. This code must be provided to the guest.
A parameter is set for the time interval between a handset going “off-hook,” and
the placement of an emergency call to the attendant. When the timer expires,
the emergency call enters the emergency queue and is sent to the attendant
console. When the call reaches the console, the loud emergency alerting tone is
heard and the display shows the calling party ID and extension number. The
display also shows the number of other emergency calls that may be waiting in
queue. The tone heard by the attendant is different from any other console
alerting tones and is fixed at a louder volume.
User Operation

The user operation for guests needing to place an emergency call to the
attendant is documented in GuestWorks server Issue 3.0 Hospitality

Maid Status/Housekeeping Status
0
The Maid Status/Housekeeping Status feature records the status for up to six
housekeeping codes. These status codes are usually entered by the house-
keeping staff from the guest room or from a designated telephone, but they can
also be updated by the front office personnel using the attendant console or a
backup voice terminal. Six status codes can be used from guest rooms, and four
status codes can be used from telephones that do not have the client room
COS.
You must decide on a definition for each status code. For example, the definition
for status code 1 could be “room being cleaned” and it might have a feature
access code of *31. Status code 2 could be “ready for inspection” and have a
feature access code of *32. If the room status is being reported from the
designated telephone and not from the guest room, the feature access code for
status code 1 might be #31 and status code 2 might be #32. When a
housekeeping staff member updates the status, you can also record who
updated the status by assigning identification codes for your personnel. After
they update the current status, they can input their identification code. This is an
administrable option.
On a server that has a PMS, this information is passed from the server to the
PMS. Front desk personnel can then view this information on the PMS Terminal.
If there is no PMS, room status is viewed by using the Maid Status button on the
attendant console or backup voice terminal. You can also view this information
through administration using the list maintenance pms-down command. If
there is a log printer, this information is printed when the housekeeping staff
updates the status.

Message Waiting Notification
0
Guests are notified of waiting messages in two ways. Each guest room’s tele-
phone has a message waiting lamp that lights whenever the guest has any mes-
sages. For a visually impaired guest, a special stutter dial tone is heard by the
guests have retrieved their messages, by calling the voice messaging system or
the front desk, the message waiting lamp is turned off automatically and regular
dial tone is heard.
Message Waiting Notification is a hospitality feature similar to Leave Word
Calling. Message Waiting Notification can be activated only for extensions that
have a “client room” COS (see Page 40). The attendant uses the MW Act button
to turn on a message waiting lamp, and the MW Deac button to turn off a
message waiting lamp.

Message Waiting Notification
Messages can be left for guests when people call and leave messages in a
voice mailbox or when they leave messages at the front desk. This section
describes the feature known as Message Waiting Notification, which is done
manually from the attendant console. See the voice messaging system
description for more information about voice messaging.
NOTE:
The Message Waiting Notification feature should be used only if you do
not have an integrated voice messaging system (such as the Lucent
INTUITY Lodging package). If you have a voice messaging system, all
messages, even written messages left at the front desk, should be left as
voice messages for your guests.
If there is a PMS, the PMS can activate and deactivate the message waiting
lamps. If the message waiting lamp has been activated by Leave Word Calling
or a voice messaging system, the PMS cannot turn off the guest’s message
waiting lamp. At check-out, the switch or the PMS deactivates the message
waiting lamp.

CAUTION:
Any changes made to your dial plan can cause service degradation and
lost calls if not done correctly. Plan all numbering changes with caution.
As an alternative to using prefixed extension numbers (discussed in the "Pre-
fixed Extension Numbering" section), a mixed numbering plan will provide simi-
lar functionality. Mixed numbering allows you to use the same first digit for
single-digit dialing, two-digit dialing, and three-, four-, and five-digit room num-
ber dialing.

Feature Descriptions
Names Registration
0
Names Registration is used with a PMS that can operate in the Transparent
Mode or ASCII Mode. Using the PMS terminal at check-in, the PMS records the
guest information and sends the information to the GuestWorks server; at
check-out, the guest’s name is removed. Read the "Check-In/Check-Out" sec-
tion for a complete description of what happens during the check-in and
check-out processes.
The name information provided to the server by the PMS enables a higher level
of customer service. Whenever a guest calls a hotel service (front desk, room
service, housekeeping), the name of the caller is displayed and the call can be
answered using the guest’s name. Calls going to other guest rooms will not
carry the name unless the guest room receiving the call is equipped with a
digital display telephone. Without Names Registration, someone must manually
enter the guest’s name through server administration.
If changes are made in the guest information during the guest’s stay, the server
is updated as soon as the PMS is updated. You can also reserve a block of
rooms in advance and add guest names later. An example where this works well
is when the hotel is used by airline personnel. The hotel knows that guests are
coming, but does not know names associated with the reservation. When the
airline personnel arrive at the hotel, their names are added to the PMS and the
server is updated automatically.
Only alphanumeric characters, commas, and spaces may be used in the name
field when Integrated Directory is used. When the directory feature is not in use,
the guest’s name may be sent to the server using the above methods and may
use periods. However, the periods will not be displayed. The formats for names
are:
■
■
Last Name, (comma) First Name (for example: Jones,Fred)
Last Name, (comma) First Name, (space) Middle Initial/Title (for exam-
ple: Jones,Fred Mr)

Prefixed Extension Numbering
0
!
CAUTION:
Any changes made to your dial plan can cause service degradation and
lost calls if not done correctly. Plan all numbering changes with caution.
In the hospitality industry, prefixed extension numbers are frequently used to
define specific groups of hotel rooms. A Prefixed Extension (PEXT) is made up
of a prefix (a first digit) and an extension number with up to five digits. In a hos-
pitality environment, the PEXT would be used to identify different floors. For
example, extensions on floors 1 through 9 would be prefixed with a 7, while
floors 10 through 30 would not have a prefix. Buildings adjacent to the main
hotel could use a different prefix for identification of these buildings. Prefixing
extension numbers is a method used to keep all guest room extension numbers
the same length. In some hotels, it is used as a means to provide security, pre-
venting people from using house phones and disturbing the guests.
When a decision is made to use prefixed extensions, care must be taken to
insure that there are no dial plan conflicts (for example, a prefixed extension
may not follow a trunk access code or an ARS feature access code).
NOTE:
The PMS interface supports 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions, but be aware
that prefixed extensions do not send the entire number across the inter-
face. Only the assigned extension number is sent. Therefore, you should
not use prefixed extensions for numbers that are also going to use the
Insert/Delete Digit function.

Prefixed Extension Numbering
Here is an example of a dial plan incorporating prefixed extensions and a mixed
number plan, with an explanation of each entry. In the dial plan, prefixed
extensions are designated as PEXT. When the prefixed number is dialed, the
server will remove the prefix digit and use the remaining digits to complete the
call. If the prefix digit is not dialed, the call will not complete, since the dialed
digits do not match the dial plan.

Nonprefixed access to 100 possible extensions for hotel administration
users (500 through 599).
Prefixed room extensions — pattern 6xxx is for floors 1 through 9, and
pattern 7xxxx is for floors 10 through the highest guest room floor. Exten-
sions are numbered the same as the room: room 429 would be
extension 6429, and room 1234 would be extension 71234.
■
■
■
Toll calling access by dialing TAC 8.
Local calling by dialing ARS FAC 9.
Two-digit FACs beginning with * and # followed by a digit from 0 to 9.
When using prefixed extension numbers, it is not necessary to include an entry
for the “real” extension number in the dial plan. The server is able to complete a
call using the prefixed extension number. When dialing 7345 (where 7 is the
prefix), the communications server will ring extension 345.
When using a dial plan like the one above, which includes both prefixed and
non-prefixed extensions, dialing 567 instead of 4567 will ring an administrative
extension instead of a room.
The dialing delays, which may not be perceived by hotel guests, will occur when
dialing 6 and 7. The server must wait for the 3- to 9-second interdigit timeout to
expire before the call will be sent. The user can preempt the timer by pressing
the # key after the number has been dialed.
NOTE:
When using prefixed extensions, the extension that shows up on a display
voice terminal does not show the prefix. The prefix will not show up on
CDR reports. If extension number 3315 is prefixed with a 6 and the dial
plan shows 3xxx for extensions, it is possible to dial either 3315 or 63315
to reach extension 3315. If the dial plan was changed to remove the entry
for extensions in the 3xxx block, then 3315 could be reached only by dial-
ing 63315.

recommended when set to n. The recommended setting is y.
The database swap between the server and the PMS may not be
complete if they are out of synchronization. Choosing to disable
the link allows the PMS to function with partially correct data. Tak-
ing down the link forces a database swap. The reason why the
server and the PMS are out of synchronization must be deter-
mined and corrected.

Recorded Announcements
0
The Recorded Announcements feature allows you to create several different
recorded announcements for wakeup calls and Direct Access Calling proce-
dures. For example, you may want to have different messages for different times
of day. For early morning wakeup calls, you can advertise breakfast at your cof-
fee shop. For afternoon wakeup calls, you can advertise dinner at your restau-
rant. These announcements are recorded using the integrated announcement
circuit pack (TN750C) and are assigned manually to wakeup calls when the
wakeup calls are scheduled using the attendant console or a backup voice ter-
minal.
Another example of this feature is if you want to announce special events at the
hotel or the dinner menu at the restaurant, you can create a fixed set of
recorded announcements that you can change as needed. You can publish
those announcement numbers in your “directory of guest services.” Guests can
dial the announcement numbers from their rooms to hear the recorded
information.
If you have a speech synthesizer circuit pack (TN725B), wakeup call
announcements are generated from this circuit pack when guests create their
own wakeup calls. These messages are fixed in content and cannot be
changed.

The server supports the following announcement circuit packs:
■
Integrated Announcement circuit pack (TN750C) — The announcement
circuit pack is used to provide automatic wakeup messages and call
prompts for the Direct Access Calling feature. The use of the announce-
ment circuit pack gives the hotel management the flexibility to make
changes to their wakeup announcements, add announcements when
needed, and deliver wakeup messages in the language of a foreign
guest.
■
Speech Synthesizer circuit pack (TN725B) — The speech synthesizer
circuit pack must be installed to allow guests to create their own wakeup
calls.

Feature Descriptions
Room Change/Swap
0
It often happens that guests wish to change rooms after they have already
checked-in to the hotel. The Room Change/Swap feature allows you to easily
move all of the guest’s information from one room to another vacant room.
When this is done, their Automatic Wakeup requests, Do Not Disturb requests,
and voice messages are moved with them to their new room. This feature is pro-
vided solely by the PMS and cannot be done efficiently from the communica-
tions server.
User Operation
0
The user operation for moving guests from room to room using the PMS is doc-
umented in the PMS documentation.
If you do not have a PMS, or if the PMS link is down, you can move guests by
checking them out of one room and checking them into another room. This,
however, does not save any guest information such as their wakeup calls, Do
Not Disturb end times, or their voice messages.

Room Occupancy
Room Occupancy
0
The Room Occupancy feature enables the attendant console to display the cur-
rent occupancy status of rooms. The Room Occupancy feature provides infor-
mation on guest room availability without the requirement for a PMS.
When the Occupd Rooms button on the attendant console is pressed, the
console displays a message indicating that it is in the occupied room mode. The
DXS selector console lamps are on for all rooms that are occupied (that is,
checked in) and stay unlit for all rooms that are vacant (that is, checked out).
The hundreds group buttons can be pressed to cycle through the extensions of
the guest rooms. The occupancy status normally updates as guests are
checked in and checked out. While the console is in the occupied rooms mode,
it updates lamps for any rooms as status changes. While in the occupied room
mode, the console can still use the DXS to place calls to guest rooms.
User Operation

Server/INTUITY/PMS Link Integration 0
In an integrated solution where a hotel has the GuestWorks server, the Lucent
INTUITY Lodging voice messaging, and a PMS, data is exchanged between all
three components to update guest information, enable voice messaging, add
calling restrictions, and so on. Traditionally, three physical links are required to
transmit these messages between each system.
With enhanced link software on the GuestWorks server (software Issue 2.0 or
later) and updated software on the Lucent INTUITY Lodging system (Lucent
INTUITY Lodging Issue 1.1 or later), you can remove the link used for
exchanging voice mail updates between the Lucent INTUITY and the PMS.
Guest information, such as check-in and check-out data that activates and
deactivates guest room voice mailboxes, is sent from the PMS, through the
server, and then to the Lucent INTUITY Lodging system.
NOTE:
When using the Lucent INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting feature that
co-resides on the Lucent INTUITY platform, the call accounting link
between the Lucent INTUITY and the PMS must remain in place. The
Server/INTUITY/PMS Link Integration enhancement does not exchange
call detail records between the server and the PMS.

Feature Descriptions
There are several advantages in using the integrated link through the server:
■
The solution is more reliable; with one less physical connection, there is
less chance for loss of data because of faulty hardware.
■
If the server-to-INTUITY link is down but the server-to-PMS link is up, the
server maintains a buffer that contains the 100 most-recent PMS transac-
tions, and updates the Lucent INTUITY as soon as the server-to-INTU-
ITY link is back up.
■
■
The solution is less expensive because you use one less port on the
PMS and the Lucent INTUITY in addition to the cables used to make the
connection.
The PMS vendors do not need to write new code to support the message
set between the PMS and the Lucent INTUITY; they can use the existing
message set that communicates with the server.
Using this new link, the following administrative messages used for guest room
mailbox activation/deactivation are sent between the PMS and the Lucent
INTUITY through the server. These messages are documented in the
INTUITY™ Lodging Property Management System Specifications,
(585-310-234).

The Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) feature allows you to temporarily add
phones to conference rooms and other facilities where phone jacks have been
installed, but are not used for full-time telephone service. This ensures security
and increases profits for telephones used in unmonitored hotel areas. Tele-
phones can be added as you need them and then disabled after your guests are
finished with them. No one without the proper information can activate an outlet
and take telephone service from the hotel without being charged.

Administration Terminal
0
To make changes for the server administration, you must use either an SAT or a
PC with the TERRANOVA ECS Administration software. The SAT is an option
terminal that connects directly to the server. The TERRANOVA ECS Administra-
tion software comes with every server and can be installed on your PC. You can
then connect a COM port from your PC to the server and access the server for
administration.

Printer Reports
Any of these reports can be printed, either on an SAT printer or on the system
printer. To print on the SAT printer, add the command pr after the report
command string. For example, if you want a printed copy of the station status
report, enter the command status station XXXX pr (XXXX is the extension
number). The report will be printed on the SAT printer.
To print on the system printer, add the command sched after the report
command string. For example, if you want a printed copy of the station status
report, enter the command status station XXXX sched (XXXX is the extension
number). The report will be printed on the system printer.
Printer Reports
0
Printer reports keep track of several hospitality events. This is done to track pat-
terns of service problems and to keep track of room status. From the server’s
perspective, there are two types of printers that may be accessed for hospitality
reports: a log printer and a journal/schedule printer. These two printer functions
can be combined on one physical printer, or they can be assigned to two differ-
ent printers. If you have only one printer, the status events print out as they
occur as part of one listing. If you have two printers, the log reports print on one
printer and the journal (and scheduled) reports print on the other printer.
Log Printer
0
The log printer has one report which is a record of the housekeeping status.
This report occurs automatically as the housekeeping staff updates the status of
guest rooms. The following is an example of a log printer report:

Reports
Journal/Schedule Printer
0
The journal/schedule printer prints two types of reports: journal reports and
scheduled reports. A journal report is a running summary of hospitality events
such as wakeup call requests, wakeup calls that complete, wakeup calls that
fail, Do Not Disturb requests, and emergency access attempts. A scheduled
report is a report that is scheduled through administration and usually occurs at
the same time every day.
The scheduled reports are assigned at an administration terminal (either the
SAT or a PC with TERRANOVA ECS Administration) using the change
system-parameters hospitality command. On Page 2 of this administration
form, you can administer the time of day when you want the following reports to
print:
