The Attendant Crisis Alert feature provides a visual, audible, and printed record
when guests or hotel staff place a call to the local emergency service agency.
This gives hotel personnel the ability to assist emergency personnel when they
arrive at the hotel by identifying where the call came from and when the call was
made. This feature uses the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) feature to allow
routing of any emergency service access code (such as 911) to the appropriate
emergency service agency, while also identifying the call for crisis alerting.

attendant console, but the call information is displayed). The attendant can then
note the room number and contact the appropriate personnel at the hotel to
assist with the emergency.
