Considerations
■You can use Leave Word Calling (LWC) or Integrated Message Center
Service for the hospital or hotel/motel staff and Message Waiting
Notification for guests/patients. However, if you do not use Message
Waiting Notification, Integrated Message Center Service is used for both.
■Do not remove an extension while the PMS link is active.
■Normal-protocol mode allows extensions of up to four digits.
Transparent/ASCII-protocol mode allows extensions of up to five digits.
■When save translations is done when transparent/ASCII-protocol mode is
active, station names with client-room COS save as blank and coverage
paths save as the default coverage path for client rooms.
■The PMS link may not work correctly when multiple p-extensions hav e the
same leading digit and adjacent lengths. For example, 3 and 4 p-extensions
with the same leading digit may cause problems. The same applies to 4 and
5, and 5 and 6.
■A room extension may begin with 0 only if the PMS sends a prefix digit or
a fixed number of digits.
