User Operation
The user operation for updating and viewing housekeeping status using the PMS is given in the PMS documentation.
You can check the current status of all rooms based on the housekeeping status codes defined for your switch (refer to ‘‘Status Codes’’ on page 67 for more information about status codes).
NOTE:
If your switch has a PMS that supports Housekeeping Status, use this feature from the PMS, not the console. The only exception to this is if the link to the PMS is not operational.
To check the current room status, perform the following:
1.Press the MAID STATUS button.
■The Maid Status lamp goes on.
■The following displays:
Enter Desired Room State (1-6)
2.Press a number between 1 and 6 (refer to page 66 for the status code definitions).
■The following displays:
<requested room status>
3.Press one of the DXS hundreds select buttons.
■The LEDs in the upper part of the selector console light for all rooms that match the requested status.
4.You can enter different status codes to see the rooms that are in the different housekeeping states.
5.Press the NORMAL MODE button when finished.
■The console returns to the normal operating mode.
6.If you are not sure which rooms are available, press the OCCUPD ROOMS button.
■The lamps associated with the rooms already occupied will display on the DXS selector console. Determine an unoccupied room from this information.
