Property Management System (PMS) Digit to

Insert/Delete

Many customer configurations base the room telephone exte nsion 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 us eful for a hotel
that has multiple extensions sharing an extra leading digit in front of t he room number.
The leading digit is automatically inserted when the me ssage 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 interf ace. Only the
assigned extension number is sent. Therefore, you should n ot 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 interna l hotel/motel services and
provides the capability to associate room numbers with guest roo m telephones.
The feature provides the following dial plan types: single-digit dialing, pref ixed
extensions, and mixed numbering.
Multimedia Features
DEFINITY ECS inherently handles high-volume multimedia transm issions effi-
ciently and will continue to add multimedia features to improve on i ts multimedia
capabilities.
Multimedia calls are initiated with voice and video only. Once a call is
established, one of the parties may initiate an associated data confere nce to
include all of the parties on the call who are capable of support ing data. The data
conference is controlled by an adjunct device called an Expans ion Services
Module (ESM).
