15.1.3 Room Status Control

15.1.3 Room Status Control

Description

A proprietary telephone (PT) with a 6-line display designated as the hotel operator extension can be used to view and change the Check-in/Check-out/Cleaned-up (Ready or Not Ready) status of guest rooms associated with extensions.

Any wired extension can be used as a room extension without special programming.

Flexible buttons on the hotel operator’s extension can be set as Room Status Control buttons. The 3 types of Room Status Control buttons are as follows:

Check-in

Switches the status of selected room extensions from Check-out to Check-in.

Remote Extension Dial Lock is turned off, allowing calls to be made from the extension.

Check-out

Switches the status of selected room extensions from Check-in to Check-out.

Room extension data, such as Timed Reminder or Last Number Redial data, is cleared, and Remote Extension Dial Lock is turned on, restricting some calls. This can be useful to prevent the room extension from being used when no guest is checked in.

Cleaned-up (KX-TDA50/KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200 only)

Switches the status of selected room extensions between Ready and Not Ready.

When a guest checks out of a room, the room status becomes Checked-out and Not Ready. After the room has been cleaned, the status can be changed to Checked-out and Ready using this button. It is also possible to change the status back to Checked-out and Not Ready if necessary.

Room Status Control Mode

Pressing a Room Status Control button when the PT is idle allows the hotel operator extension to enter Room Status Control mode. When in Room Status Control mode, the corresponding Room Status Control button’s light flashes red. The Room Status Control button that was pressed determines which room status each room extension can be switched to. For example, if the Check-in button was pressed, the Check-in button’s light flashes red and the hotel operator can select which room extensions to check-in.

In addition, DSS buttons on the hotel operator’s extension or a paired DSS Console show the room status of each extension as follows:
