NEC NDA-30115-001 Message Waiting Lamp Control, Restriction Control, Check In/Check Out Model

Property Management System - Communication Interface Message Descriptions

Message Waiting Lamp Control

These messages are used to control the message waiting lamp on an extension. The message waiting lamp is used to notify a guest about the existence of text messages. If the message is designated “Model 90” then that message is only used by the Model 90 version. The other messages are used by both versions.

When the NEAX is configured to use the suite room feature, the primary extension represents all extensions in that suite. Therefore, a message set to the primary extension controls the message waiting lamps on all extensions in that suite.

•MWL On -- This message is sent by the PMS to turn on a message waiting lamp.

•MWL Off -- This message is sent by the PMS to turn off a message waiting lamp.

•MWL On -- This message is sent by the NEAX to notify the PMS that a message waiting lamp has been turned on.

•MWL Off -- This message is sent by the NEAX to notify the PMS that a message waiting lamp has been turned off.

•MWL Status -- This message is sent by the PMS. (Model 90)

•MWL On (FDT) -- This message is sent by the NEAX to notify the PMS that a message waiting lamp has been turned on by the front desk. (Model 90)

•MWL Off (FDT) -- This message is sent by the NEAX to notify the PMS that a message waiting lamp has been turned off by the front desk. (Model 90)

Restriction Control

There are two messages. They are identical except that one is originated by the

PMS, the other by the NEAX. Each message simply transmits the restriction code.

Both the Model 60 and the Model 90 version use these messages.

Check In/Check Out (Model 60)

These messages do not represent unique features as such, but are a convenient tool for activating a sequence of functions commonly performed when a guest checks in or out of a room. With one exception, all of these messages are used exclusively for Model 60. The sole exception is Check Out Outgoing Call Report, which is also used by Model 90.

When the NEAX is configured to use the suite room feature, the primary extension represents all extensions in that suite. Therefore, a message set to the primary extension controls the status of all extensions in that suite.

•Check In 1 -- Sets the Room Status to Stay and cancels Room Cut-Off. This message is sent by the PMS. This message should not be used. Use Check In 3 instead.

•Check Out -- Sets the Room Status to Out and sets Room Cut-Off. This message is sent by the PMS.
