1.11.1Using the Telephones in a Hotel-type Environment (Hospitality Features)

In a hotel-type environment, an extension assigned as a hotel operator can be used to view and set the check-in/check-out/cleaned-up (Ready or Not Ready) status of each guest room extension. When the hotel operator presses a flexible button assigned as "Check-in", "Check-out" or "Cleaned-up" on his/her extension, the extension will switch to Room Status Control mode, and the light of the DSS button for each room extension will show the current room status. This allows the hotel operator to manage guests and rooms with just a telephone. In addition, the hotel operator can set automatic wake-up calls for guest rooms.
