Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering
Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering allows easy guest access to
internal hotel/motel services and provides the capability to associate room
numbers with guest-room telephones.
Detailed description
You must create a dial plan for hotel/motel services and room numbers. Some
suggestions follow. Refer to ‘‘Dial Plan Record’’ on page 593 for more
information.
■Assign a single-digit extension to internal hotel/motel services such as
room service. Assign single-digit extensions to individual-telephones or to
a group of telephones (for example, to service the front desk).
■Assign a prefixed extension to guest rooms.
A prefixed extension is made up of a prefix and an extension up to five
digits. The prefix identifies the call type. The switch collects dialed digits,
removes the prefix digit, and uses the extension for further processing.
■Mixed station numbering extensions can have from one to five digits and
can begin with any digit from 0 to 9.
The first digit, in combination with the number of digits dialed, define s t he
call type. To differentiate between tw o numbers with the sa me leading di git
but different lengths, the system monitors the interval afte r a di git is dialed
and before the next digit is dialed. If the interval exte n ds past the
administered interdigit timeout, the system assumes that dialing is
complete and calculates the number of digits dialed up to that point.
