Hospitality features 

■

Call Coverage

Call-coverage arrangements are not limited to automatic update during 
check-in messages sent from PMS. Hotel personnel require coverage points 
other than those designated for guests. Call-coverage paths can be 
manually administered at the switch via the management terminal.

■

COS

If an extension has a client room COS, the save translation operation clears 
the station name and sets the coverage path to the default coverage path for 
client room when stored on tape. This does not affect the existing 
information in memory. However, if the translations are read in, it affects 
existing extensions until a database swap synchronizes the switch and 
PMS.

■

Name Character Length

The switch supports 27-character names, but the PMS interface supports 
only 15-character names.

■

PMS Interface

During a Room Change/Room Swap, the name originally associated with 
the first terminal is changed or swapped to the second terminal along with 
call-coverage path, automatic wake-up entries, message-waiting status, and 
controlled restrictions.

Property Management System (PMS) Interface provides a communications link 
between the switch and a customer-owned PMS. The PMS allows a customer to 
control certain features in a hospital and hotel/motel environments. Refer to 
DEFINITY ECS GuestWorks Server Property Management Interface 
Specifications.
