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.
