Controlled Restrictions
The Controlled Restrictions feature allows you to activate different types of
calling restrictions on guest room telephones. The restriction types include the
following:
■Outward — The guest cannot place calls to the public network.
■Station-to-Station — Guests cannot place or receive calls between guest
rooms or administrative staff telephones.
■Termination — The guest cannot receive any calls.
■Total — The guest cannot place or receive any calls.
■Toll — The guest cannot place toll calls, but can place free local calls.
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 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 telephone
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 telephone
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 restrictions
plus some predefined combinations. These combinations include the
following:
— Outward and station-to-station/toll
— Outward and termination
— Station-to-station/toll and termination
NOTE:Since current PMS products do not recognize automatically the new
Toll Restriction feature, PMS terminal users must be instructed that
Toll Restriction may be substituted for either Outward or
Station-to-Station Restriction.
