Feature Descriptions
change feature-access-codes
■On Page 5 of this form, add feature access codes for each of the house- keeping status codes. There are six codes for housekeeping status from a guest room (client room) and four codes for housekeeping status from a designated telephone (station). When working with a PMS vendor, the feature access codes for the housekeeping status need to be coordi- nated. The PMS will determine the ASCII format that will equate to the feature access code.
Required Hardware
There is no special hardware required for this feature.
Message Waiting Notification
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 guest when they pick up their handset if the guest has any messages. After 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.
