Flexibility
In hotels with meeting facilities where there is an occasional need for telephone
service in the meeting rooms, there is the Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI)
feature. With TTI, ports are translated as “administered, but inactive.” When the
port needs to be activated, a hotel communications staff member plugs a telephone
into the desired jack. He or she enters a feature access code, a security password,
and an extension number. The telephone now is available for that room. When the
telephone is to be removed, the removal code is entered, followed by the password
and the extension number. This arrangement requires that the hotel has a port from
the switch wired to every possible jack in the meeting rooms, which can have
up-front costs but will provide a good level of customer service. One way to limit
the cost is to provide a limited number of ports to the meeting room area. A patch
panel would allow hotel staff to wire extensions to specific jacks on a flexible
basis. You still can serve several jacks with a limited number of ports.
