Room Change/Room Swap
Room Change/Room Swap is provided only through PMS and activated from a 
PMS terminal. With Room Change, data pertaining to the old room — including a 
pending wakeup request, the guest’s name (transparent/ASCII mode), and the 
guest’s call-coverage path (transparent/ASCII mode) — moves to the new room. 
With Room Swap, data pertaining to the two rooms swap. With either feature, if 
the occupancy status is inconsistent, the system sends an error message to PMS.
Names Registration
Names Registration automatically sends a guest’s name and room extension from 
PMS to the switch at check-in, and removes this information at checkout. The 
guest’s call-coverage path is sent to the switch during check-in and set to the 
administered Default Call Coverage Path for Client Rooms at checkout. 
Guest Information Input/Change
Guest Information Input/Change allows the attendant to enter or alter guest 
information (name or coverage path). Information changed at the PMS is sent 
automatically to the switch.
PMS/INTUITY Link Integration
PMS/I
NTUITY
 Link Integration allows the following PMS administrative 
messages to tandem through the switch to the I
NTUITY
 Lodging adjunct. This 
eliminates the need for the I
NTUITY
-to-PMS voice messaging link. This does not 
remove the need for the I
NTUITY
-to-PMS call accounting link.

Room-data-image (database synchronization)
Modify (guest-information)
Add/Remote Text/Fax Notification Message (message-waiting status)
Transfer/Merge Mailbox (room change/swap)
When the messaging link is down and the PMS/DEFINITY link is up, the switch 
buffer holds up to 100 PMS messages. The switch updates the I
NTUITY
 Lodging 
adjunct once the link is up. If the buffer overflows before the link is up, the 
database resync among PMS/DEFINITY/I
NTUITY
 initiates by demand or by a 
routine database update from PMS.
