Notice
Every effort was made to ensure that the information in this book was complete and
accurate at the time of printing. However, information is subject to change.
Preventing Toll Fraud
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an
unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf). Be aware that there may
be a risk of toll fraud associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can
result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.
Avaya Fraud Intervention
If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need technical
assistance or support, in the United States and Canada, call the Technical Service
Center's Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at 1-800-643-2353. Outside of the United
States and Canada, contact your Avaya representative.
Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video communications) is the
prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is, either unauthorized or malicious
access to or use of your company's telecommunications equipment) by some party.
Your company's “telecommunications equipment” includes both this Avaya product
and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed via this Avaya
product (that is, “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor,
or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone
(including someone who may be otherwise authorized) who accesses your
telecommunications equipment with either malicious or mischievous intent.
Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-multiplexed and/or
circuit-based) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or packet-based) equipment or
interfaces for reasons of:
•
Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
•
Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll-facility
access)
•
Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
•
Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)
•
Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration, regardless of
motive or intent)
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized intrusions associated with your
system and/or its networked equipment. Also realize that, if such an intrusion should
occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your company (including but not
limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial
resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs).
Your Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked equipment
rests with you - an Avaya customer's system administrator, your telecommunications
peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of your responsibility on acquired
knowledge and resources from a variety of sources including but not limited to:
•
Installation documents
•
System administration documents
•
Security documents
•
Hardware-/software-based security tools
•
Shared information between you and your peers
•
Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and your peers
should carefully program and configure your:
•
Avaya-provided telecommunications systems and their interfaces
•
Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their underlying
hardware/software platforms and interfaces
•
Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products.

About This Handbook

This handbook provides instructions for installing GuestWorks® and DEFINITY®
Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) switches in a hospitality solution. The
procedures in this handbook describe how to connect the switch and adjuncts
used in a hospitality solution, and how to administer the switch so it operates with
the adjuncts in a hospitality solution. The information provided in this handbook
includes information about preparing the site, unpacking and installing the
cabinets, connecting cabling and adjuncts, translating the switch and adjuncts,
and activating and testing the switch.
The information in this handbook can be used with any of the following switches
when the switches are optioned for hospitality services:
■

GuestWorks

■

DEFINITY ECS

■

ProLogix™

■

DEFINITY Business Communications System (BCS).

Suggested Training
It is suggested that technicians installing this equipment receive training on
GuestWorks and DEFINITY ECS Release 9 (R9) before installing this equipment.
Except for connectivity of hospitality adjuncts and translations of those adjuncts,
this handbook contains high-level reminders of the tasks required to install the
switch, and is not intended to replace normal switch training or standard switch
installation documents.

About This Handbook
Reasons for Issue

xii

Reasons for Issue
This document replaces the GuestWorks Issue 6 Technician Handbook
(555-231-109) that is still valid on GuestWorks Issue 6 systems. This document is
issued for the following reasons:
■

To update all information related to Release 9 of the DEFINITY ECS
software. GuestWorks now uses the same software release numbering as
DEFINITY ECS.

■

To update information about the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) messaging connectivity between the switch and the
INTUITY™ voice messaging system.

■

To add information about Custom Selection of VIP Direct Inward Dialing
(DID) Numbers.

Conventions
The following conventions are used in this handbook:
■

In this handbook, the term “switch” refers to the telephone switching
equipment (GuestWorks, DEFINITY ECS, ProLogix, or DEFINITY BCS);
the term “INTUITY” refers to the voice messaging and call accounting
platform; and the term “PMS” refers to the Property Management System
provided by the customer.

■

All screens shown in this handbook are approximations of how the actual
screens appear. Depending on the system options, the screens may vary.

■

The terms “attendant console” and “backup telephone” are used in this
document. The attendant console is the model 302 that is usually found at
the front desk. The preferred backup telephone is the model 6424 or 8434
telephone with attendant-type feature buttons. The model 6408 or 8410
can be used as a secondary backup to the model 6424 or 8434.

■

For most hospitality installations, the MAP/5P is the voice messaging
platform of choice. For very large installations that require more voice ports
or message storage, the MAP/40P or MAP/100 may be used. Unless
otherwise noted, the term “MAP” refers to any of the different platforms.
Any differences between the platforms (other than capacities) will be noted
in this handbook.

■

This handbook documents two versions of the INTUITY system —
Release 4.4 (R4.4) and Release 5 (R5). Unless otherwise specified, all
connectivity and administration applies to either release.

Queue Length

■

On the cabling diagrams, the << and >> symbols are used to show the
plug-receptacle relationship. If this relationship is not known, the diagrams
show a rectangular box.

■

Switch hardware is offered on the compact modular cabinet (CMC), the
single-carrier cabinet (SCC), or the multi-carrier cabinet (MCC) platforms.
Specific cabinet models will not be mentioned except when necessary.
Refer to the installation document for the cabinet type you are installing.

■

Switch software is packaged for csi, si, or r systems. The csi system uses
CMC hardware, the si system uses SCC or MCC hardware, and the r
system uses MCC hardware.

Additional Parts and Test Equipment

5

Additional Parts and Test Equipment
Other than the tools and test equipment noted in the installation manuals, you
should also have the following items available on site:
■

RS232 mini-tester (comcode 407515139)
NOTE:
The mini-tester shows positive voltage with a green LED and
negative voltage with a red LED. This can be verified by
connecting the mini-tester to a printer’s EIA port, adding power
to the printer, and then putting the printer on-line. The Data
Terminal Ready (DTR) lamp should then light with a positive
(green) voltage. You may already have your own mini-tester that
shows positive voltage as red and negative voltage as green. If
this is true at your installation, the mini-tester result diagrams
shown in this handbook must be read from an “opposite”
perspective; that is, if the book shows that DTR should be green,
and you have a mini-tester that operates in an “opposite” mode,
your mini-tester will show DTR being red. This change in
perspective should be true for all data leads.

!

CAUTION:
After using a mini-tester to check data leads, you MUST remove
the mini-tester from the connection. DO NOT leave the minitester in-line during actual operation.

■

RS232 gender changers and M25A or M25B RS232 cables

■

Analog line used to place test calls.

See “Appendix A — Parts List” on page 242 for a list of the parts used for this
installation. Part numbers are provided in case replacements must be ordered.

Planning and Preparing the Site

6

Planning and Preparing the Site
See Chapter 1 in the DEFINITY ECS and INTUITY installation documents for
more information about the tasks in this section.
1.

Inventory the equipment delivered to the customer site and verify that it
matches the customer’s order. If the equipment does not match the
customer’s order, follow the appropriate claims process or report the
discrepancies to your Avaya representative. If this is a dealer-installed site,
report the discrepancies to the dealer.
The equipment may include the following:
■

Switch cabinets and circuit packs

■

Default translation card (GuestWorks and DEFINITY BCS only)
Unless instructed otherwise, always use the default translation card.

■

DEFINITY Site Administration (DSA) software (provided for the
customer’s PC), or a 715 management terminal

■

Multi-Application Platform (MAP) for INTUITY Lodging Voice
Messaging, INTUITY AUDIX Voice Messaging, and INTUITY
Lodging Call Accounting
When using the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting from Homisco,
share “Appendix D — Homisco Call Record Format” on page 248
with the PMS vendor before or during the switch integration.

■

Xiox™ call accounting equipment, which will be software, a buffer
box, and a PC
Call Xiox technical support at +1-480-970-9015, +1-602-970-9015,
+1-603-624-4424, or +1-650-548-5200 if any issues arise about
their call accounting equipment or installation support.

■

Attendant console

■

Multiappearance telephones (usually the 6400-series
or 8400-series; a 6424 or 8434 is recommended as the primary
attendant backup telephone)

■

Guest room telephones
If custom room telephones and faceplates are being ordered,
coordinate the translations on the switch with any special feature
access buttons being programmed by the vendor. If programming is
done ahead of time, this could save time at installation.

■

Printers
The Okidata® Models 320, 321, and 184T are often used for
hospitality installations, but be aware that other printers may be
delivered on site.

2.

■

Miscellaneous equipment.

■

If the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting co-resident application from
Homisco has been ordered, part of the miscellaneous equipment is
a set of adapters, cables, and user documentation used with the
INTUITY system. This equipment is packaged in a separate box
with the INTUITY equipment and is labeled “Hold for Homisco
Technicians - Do Not Discard!” Save this equipment for the Homisco
technicians.

Locate the equipment room and lay out the equipment room floor plan. If
possible, use standard floor plans as described in DEFINITY ECS System
Description. When laying out the equipment locations, consider the
following:
■

The switch-to-MAP link distance limitations depend on whether you
are using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),
X.25, or Mode Code:
— The TCP/IP link using the crossover cord is 328 feet (100
meters). This is the default configuration.
— The TCP/IP link using a 10/100base-T auto-sensing hub or
router is 656 feet (200 meters). This can be 328 feet (100
meters) on either side of the hub or router.
— The Isolating Data Interface (IDI) X.25 link must be 200 feet
(61 meters) or less. This link is used only on an upgraded
system if TCP/IP is not used. Duplicated si systems must use
data modules instead of IDI, so the distance limit is not an
issue.
— The Mode Code link is done over the same analog voice
ports connected between the switch and the voice messaging
adjunct. The analog ports have a distance limit of 20000 feet
(6100 meters). This connection is limited to upgraded
systems; the default configuration is TCP/IP.

■

The link between the switch and the INTUITY Lodging Call
Accounting on the MAP is limited to 50 feet (15.2 meters) unless you
use DCP data modules to extend the distance. When using a
stand-alone call accounting system, there is still the 50 foot (15.2
meter) limit that can be extended with DCP data modules.

8

For the call accounting link, the MAP hardware must be within 50
feet (15.2 meters) of the PMS. This distance can be extended using
a pair of Digital Communications Protocol (DCP) data modules
connected through the switch.

Figure 2 on page 17 illustrates an overall view of a hospitality solution.
Additional equipment that you must consider when laying out the floor plan
includes the following:
■

A customer-provided PC equipped with DSA, or a 715 management
terminal

■

Cross-connect fields

■

Space requirements and room layout

■

Cable slack manager.

3.

Lay out and ensure appropriate power for the switch and the management
terminal in the equipment room, and arrange for an electrician to install.

4.

Lay out and ensure appropriate grounding in the equipment room,
including provisions for a coupled bonding conductor (CBC).

5.

Determine the location of equipment closets where feeder cables can be
terminated.

6.

Determine where external trunk lines come into the building and where
external trunk converters and adapters will be installed.

7.

Determine an appropriate available port circuit on the switch for each
telephone, trunk, and peripheral connection needed, and create a
provisioning plan based on standard procedures.

8.

Have the customer contact the PMS vendor and, if not using the INTUITY
Lodging Call Accounting, the call accounting system vendor to find out if
there are any special connections required to interface with their
equipment. It is highly recommended that the customer schedule the
vendors to be on-site when the connections are made and the testing is
done for the PMS and the call accounting. If the vendors cannot be on-site,
they should at least be available by telephone.

9.

If this is an upgrade from an existing system, remind the customer that
during the cutover, all Automatic Wakeup requests and Do Not Disturb
requests must be noted manually. After the cutover is complete, the
customer must manually input these requests.

Connecting the Hospitality Adjuncts
The hospitality adjuncts include the following:
■

INTUITY Lodging Voice Messaging
INTUITY Lodging Voice Messaging is an optional adjunct that resides on
the MAP. INTUITY Lodging is used for the guest access to voice
messages; and INTUITY AUDIX is used for the office staff to access voice
messaging.

■

INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting
INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting is a co-resident application from
Homisco that resides on the MAP. It is based on a product from the
Homisco Corporation. At most installations, you can expect a technician
from Homisco to be on site to install the software and hardware for the call
accounting portion of the product. The Homisco technician will assist you in
making the call accounting system interface to the switch.
For installations that include INTUITY Lodging Voice Messaging and
INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting, all connections are shown in complete
detail.

■

Stand-Alone Call Accounting
Stand-alone call accounting systems (such as Xiox) can be installed if the
call record format is compatible with the switch. Two typical formats are
printer and Teleseer.
For installations that include voice mail or call accounting from another
vendor, the connections are shown up to a definable demarcation point.
Connections beyond that demarcation point must be coordinated with the
vendor.

■

Property Management System (PMS)
The PMS is a vendor-provided product that interfaces to the switch
according to the GuestWorks and DEFINITY ECS Property Management
System Interface Specifications. If the PMS follows those specifications,
the PMS will interface to the switch when properly connected to the switch.
The PMS connections are shown up to a definable demarcation point.
Connections beyond that demarcation point must be coordinated with the
vendor.

Printers
Two serial printers can be installed to print hospitality reports and to keep a
log of events as they occur on the switch. Each printer connects to the
switch using a DCP data module. The printers are designated as either a
“journal/schedule” printer or a “log” printer. The journal/schedule printer
records Emergency Access to Attendant calls and Automatic Wakeup calls.
The log printer records housekeeping updates when the PMS link is down,
in addition to recording any other PMS-related events. These PMS events
are shown in “Appendix C — List PMS Down Events” on page 245.
NOTE:
In most cases, only one printer is provided to perform both the
journal/schedule and log printer functions.
A parallel printer may be connected to the INTUITY system to run call
accounting reports or reports from the INTUITY messaging system.

Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (TCP/IP)
This data link transfers information to support the INTUITY AUDIX service for
office staff voice messaging. For all new installations, this is the recommended
way to connect the switch to the MAP for voice messaging administrative
messages. If the system is an upgrade, you may reuse the X.25 hardware for this
connection; see “Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (X.25)” on page 22. For
installations using Mode Code integration, see “Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link
(Mode Code Integration)” on page 24.

Parts List
■

An ethernet port on the C-LAN circuit pack

■

One 259A adapter (comcode 102631413), or
UTP Category 5 cross-connect hardware and connecting blocks

■

One 6-inch RJ45 crossover cord (comcode 846943306 or 104154414), or
One 10/100Base-T auto-sensing LAN hub or customer router (optional)

■

One or two RJ45 UTP Category 5 modular cords (see “Appendix A —
Parts List” on page 242)

■

One or more 451A in-line RJ45 adapters, as needed (used to connect
modular cords together)

■

One LAN card on the MAP (for INTUITY R4.4, model 8412; for INTUITY
R5, model 8416).

Distance Limits
Using the standard crossover cord (or alternate crossover wiring arrangement in
Figure 5), the distance limit between the switch and the MAP is 328 feet (100
meters).
Using a hub or customer router, the distance limit between the switch and the
MAP is 656 feet (200 meters) total [328 feet (100 meters) from the switch to the
hub or router, and 328 feet (100 meters) from the hub or router to the MAP]. If the
distance between the switch and the MAP is more than 656 feet (200 meters), you
can daisy-chain up to four separate hubs.
NOTE:
If you do locate the switch more than 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the MAP
and are using the coresident INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting system on
the MAP, the call accounting link limit of 50 feet (15.2 meters) must be
taken into account. Figure 15 shows how the call accounting link can be
extended beyond that limit.

adapters, you must always connect to jack #1 of the adapter.

Crossover Wiring
If the standard crossover cord or the optional hub/router are not available, you can
build your own crossover wiring arrangement to flip the transmit and receive leads
for the LAN connection. Figure 5 shows how this can be done with a 104A
connecting block (comcode 105164859). When using this device, the distance
limit from the switch to the INTUITY system is 328 feet (100 meters). Using this
device, you would connect one Category 5 modular cord to the switch C-LAN
circuit pack, and another Category 5 modular cord to the INTUITY LAN card.

Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (X.25)
This data link transfers information to support the INTUITY AUDIX service for
office staff voice messaging. This connection will be used only if:
■

Your system has been upgraded from an earlier system, and

■

The customer chooses to retain their X.25 hardware (a PI circuit pack is
needed on the si system, or a Packet Gateway circuit pack is needed on an
r system) instead of the TCP/IP C-LAN hardware.

See “Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (TCP/IP)” on page 19. For installations using
Mode Code integration, see “Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (Mode Code
Integration)” on page 24.
NOTE:
The connectivity shown in this section will not work on an si system with
duplication. For a duplicated system, the connection between the switch
and the INTUITY is done with DCP data modules. See your project
manager for more information.

Parts List
■

A PI port (TN765) on an si system, or a Packet Gateway port (TN577) on
an r system

■

One H600-347 cable (r system only)

■

One H600-210 Group 3 cable (50 feet; 15.2 meters)

■

One 105C IDI (comcode 107422735) or 105D IDI (comcode 108367376)
An IDI provides electrical isolation and protection between the switch and
the INTUITY hardware. The dip switch settings on the IDI must be set for
“Direct Connect.”

Distance Limits
The distance limit between the switch and the IDI is 200 feet (61 meters). If you
need a cable longer than the default 50 foot (15.2 meter) cable provided, order a
Group 4 cable (100 feet; 30.5 meters) or a Group 5 cable (200 feet; 61 meters).
See “Appendix A — Parts List” on page 242 for a list of cables.
NOTE:
If you locate the switch more than 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the MAP and
are using the coresident INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting system on the

Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (Mode Code
Integration)
When using Mode Code Integration, the administrative link between the switch
and the MAP (the link that transfers information to support the INTUITY AUDIX
service for office staff voice messaging) connects by way of an analog port on the
switch and a voice port on the MAP. This connection is the same as the voice port
connections shown in “Switch-to-INTUITY Voice Port Connections” on page 25
and in Figure 9.
In other words, the voice ports used for leaving and retrieving messages on the
INTUITY system are the same voice ports used for Mode Code Integration. This
means that the ports will be in use for the amount of time it takes to leave a
message, plus the amount of time it takes for the Mode Codes to exchange
messages between the switch and INTUITY. This will affect the traffic-handling of
the voice messaging system.
Mode Code Integration should not be used if TCP/IP or X.25 link integration is
available. See “Switch-to-INTUITY Admin Link (TCP/IP)” on page 19 or “Switchto-INTUITY Admin Link (X.25)” on page 22 for more information.
NOTE:
When using Mode Code Integration, you cannot take advantage of the
Switch/INTUITY/PMS Link Integration feature. This means that you must
install the link shown in “INTUITY Lodging-to-PMS Link” on page 30.
Mode Code Integration between the switch and the MAP is described in more
detail in the following documents:

Switch-to-INTUITY Voice Port Connections
This connection is used for the following:
■

For callers leaving messages for guests and office staff

■

For guests and office staff to call the INTUITY system to retrieve their voice
messages

■

For the administrative link between the switch and the MAP when using
Mode Code Integration (see page 24).

■

One or more Tip/Ring cards in the MAP (different cards are required within
different regions of the world)

Parts List

— IVC6 (AYC-10) Analog Voice Card (comcode 106406580)
— IVC6A (AYC-29) Tip/Ring Card (comcode 107213944)
— NGTR (AYC-30) Next Generation Tip/Ring Card
(comcode 107224586)
Each Tip/Ring card supports six voice ports. For R5, you can have up to
three Tip/Ring cards to support 18 ports for voice messaging. For R4.4,
when using the Multi-Port Serial Card, you can have up to two Tip/Ring
cards to support 12 ports for voice messaging; when not using the
Multi-Port Serial Card, you can have up to three Tip/Ring cards to
support 18 ports for voice messaging.
If your system came from the factory configured with more than one tip/ring
card, the option settings on the cards should be set correctly. However, if
you are adding a card on-site, or if you want to check the card
configuration, Figure 7 shows the switch settings for the IVC6 (AYC-10)
and IVC6A (AYC-29) cards, and Figure 8 shows the switch settings for the
NGTR (AYC-30) card.
For each voice port card, you must install an 885A connector kit. Figure 9
shows connections for one kit using all six voice ports. Depending on the
customer’s order, you will install voice ports in pairs up to 18 ports.
■

Two or more ED5P208-30 Group 16 modular cords
You need two cords for each Tip/Ring card.

(comcode 105164818)

■

Standard cross-connect hardware

■

Ports on an analog circuit pack.
Each analog circuit pack supports 8, 16, or 24 analog voice connections.
Depending on the circuit pack and the required number of voice ports, you
may need to spread out the voice port assignments over more than one
circuit pack. For example, if you are using a 16-port circuit pack, use no
more than four ports of circuits 1-8 and four ports of circuits 9-16 on that
circuit pack. If you still need more INTUITY voice ports, select a circuit pack
that is at least one-quarter carrier distance away from the first circuit pack.
For example, if your system has 12 voice ports, and you assign the first
eight ports to the circuit pack in slot 3, assign the other four voice ports to a
circuit pack in slot 7 or higher. See more about circuit pack characteristics
in the DEFINITY ECS System Description.

Distance Limits
The distance limit from an analog port to the MAP is 20000 feet (6100 meters)
using 24 AWG wire.

8400B Options
The options on the 8400B must be set using an ASCII data terminal or a PC using
a terminal emulation package. You must connect the data terminal or PC to the
EIA interface connector on the back of the 8400B. For the switch-to-call
accounting link, a subset of options must be changed. These options are changed
using the AT command set. Use the following steps to set the options on
the 8400B:
1.

Set the speed on the data terminal or terminal emulation package to match
the speed of the call accounting system. By doing this, the speed on
the 8400B will autobaud to match the correct speed.

2.

From the data terminal or PC, type at Enter . This automatically sets the
speed and parity for the connection. The OK prompt should display.

3.

Type the following commands as shown. (The character 0 is the number
zero.) Before you press Enter for each command, make sure that the
command has been entered correctly. The e0 option on the last command
turns off keyboard echo, which means that after you enter this command,
any future keyboard entries will not be displayed, and the OK prompt is not
displayed.

8400B Options
The options on the 8400B must be set using an ASCII data terminal or a PC using
a terminal emulation package. You must connect the data terminal or PC to the
EIA interface connector on the back of the 8400B. For the switch-to-PMS link, a
subset of options must be changed. These options are changed using the AT
command set. Use the following steps to set the options on the 8400B:
1.

Set the speed on the data terminal or terminal emulation package to match
the speed of the PMS link. By doing this, the speed on the 8400B will
autobaud to match the correct speed.

2.

From the data terminal or PC, type at Enter . This automatically sets the
speed and parity for the connection. The OK prompt should display.

3.

Type the following commands as shown. (The character 0 is the number
zero.) Before you press Enter for each command, make sure that the
command has been entered correctly. The e0 option on the last command
turns off keyboard echo, which means that after you enter this command,
any future keyboard entries will not be displayed, and the OK prompt is not
displayed.

Test Procedure
Using the RS232 Mini-Tester (see the Note on page 5), check the status of the link
at the data module before you connect to the PMS. The leads marked with an
asterisk are controlled by the switch, and the PMS controls the other leads.
Translations for this connection begin on page 208.

!

CAUTION:
After using a mini-tester to check data leads, you MUST remove the
mini-tester from the connection. DO NOT leave the mini-tester in-line during
actual operation.

Journal/PMS Log or System Printer Connections
These printers are used to run hospitality service reports, to report failed
Automatic Wakeup calls and Do Not Disturb requests, or to run Basic Call
Management System (BCMS) reports.
NOTE:
In most cases, only one printer is provided to perform both the journal/
schedule and PMS log printer functions. The system printer is usually a
separate printer.

Parts List
Each printer connection requires the following parts:
■

One digital communications protocol (DCP) port on the switch; the 8400B
data module uses a TN2214 or TN2224 2-wire digital port, and the 7400A
and 7400B data modules use a TN754C 4-wire digital port.

■

Standard cross-connect hardware

■

One D8W modular cord

■

One 8400B DCP data module optioned as shown on page 63, one 7400A
DCP data module optioned as shown in Table 6 on Page 64, or one 7400B
DCP data module optioned as shown on page 65

■

One DB9-to-DB25 transition cable when using the 8400B data module

■

One M25B cable (or equivalent 25-pin straight-through cable); see
“Appendix A — Parts List” on page 242.

■

One Okidata Model ML321T printer (or equivalent).

Distance Limits
The distance limit when connecting a data module to a TN2214 or TN2224
with 24 AWG wire is 3500 feet (1067 meters). The distance limit when connecting
a data module to a TN754C is 5000 feet (1524 meters) with 24 AWG wire,
and 4000 feet (1219 meters) with 26 AWG wire.

INADS Registration
After connecting the CO trunk for INADS access, call the INADS hotline to register
the switch. For Avaya technicians in the United States, use 1-800-248-1234. For
dealers and distributors in the United States, use 1-877-295-0099. If the
installation is outside of the United States, contact your Center of Excellence
(COE) or your Avaya representative for information about registering the switch.
You will be instructed to give them the dial-up number, the customer identification
number, serial number, and other information. If there is a working fax machine at
the site, request that the INADS group send you a fax that confirms all of the
registration information.
You will also be instructed to add some information to the maintenance-related
system parameters screen. If the customer needs a login assigned, have the
INADS personnel create a customer login ID when they connect to the switch.

Translations and Testing

The following sections contain translations and testing required to successfully
administer the switch, the INTUITY Lodging Voice Messaging, and the INTUITY
Lodging Call Accounting. Only the most important fields are highlighted with either
required or suggested translations. Unless specified otherwise, the defaults
provided are acceptable.
Most INTUITY Lodging installations will involve the MAP/5P hardware platform. In
some cases, though, customers will have the MAP/40P or MAP/100P. The
screens shown in this section apply for all of these platforms.
NOTE:
The screens shown in this section are examples only. Do not use the
example equipment locations, extension numbers, access codes, and so
on in your system. Use the translations provided by your software specialist
or design specialist.

!

CAUTION:
While you are doing these translations on the switch, you should save your
translations regularly using the save translation command. This could save
you time retranslating if you lose power during installation. It takes about 10
minutes to process each translation save.

Dial Plan (Switch)
Use the change dialplan command to administer the switch dial plan based on
the customer’s requirements. Unless otherwise instructed, set the Local Node
Number to 1. For more information about the Dial Plan feature, see the
DEFINITY ECS Administrator’s Guide.
NOTE:
The PMS interface supports 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions, but be aware that
prefixed extensions do not send the entire number across the interface.
Only the assigned extension number is sent. Therefore, you should not use
prefixed extensions for numbers that are also going to use the Insert/Delete
Digit function (see “Hospitality Parameters” on page 208).

Class of Restriction (Switch)
You must create several Classes of Restriction (COR) to separate features and
services among the different groups of users and equipment. The COR also
controls calling permissions between CORs. That is, you can restrict one group of
users from calling another group through the COR. The following is a list of these
general COR groups (and the COR number used in the screen examples):
■

Guest rooms (COR 1)

■

Front desk, attendant console, and housekeeping (COR 2; similar setup as
COR 1)

■

Office staff (COR 3; similar setup as COR 1)

■

Guest services (room service, kitchen, and so on) (COR 4)

■

Trunk groups (COR 20 and COR 21)

■

Vectors (COR 30)

■

INTUITY AUDIX voice ports and hunt groups (COR 35; similar setup as
COR 30)

■

Netcon, processor interface, and data modules (COR 50).

The following screens show typical COR assignments for each of the groupings.
Use the change cor command to administer the CORs. All levels of restriction
must be agreed to by the customer. T

On Page 3 of the INTUITY system parameters, administer the following:
■

Transfer Type — Enter enhanced_cover_0. This will restrict the voice
ports from calling trunk access codes assigned to the trunk groups.

■

Transfer Restriction — It is recommended that you enter
subscribers to allow call transfers out of INTUITY AUDIX for calls to office
staff subscribers only, and not calls to guest room telephones. Only
technical support personnel can change this field to digits, and only when
the customer has signed a letter to that effect.

■

Covering Extension — Enter the Listed Directory Number extension
used for attendant-seeking calls (See page 104). If the Covering
Extension is not administered, callers that “zero out” from the voice
messaging system will hear “Operator not assigned,” and the caller cannot
receive assistance.

Fax Parameters (Switch and INTUITY)
Integrating fax machines with the INTUITY system requires special setup on the
switch. Many properties have their fax machines connected to a dedicated central
office (CO) trunk. To integrate the fax machine with the functionality of the
INTUITY fax services, you should do the following to help set up the best solution
possible:
■

Connect the dedicated CO fax line to a CO trunk circuit on the switch.

■

Translate the CO trunk to have an Incoming Destination of some
previously-unassigned extension. See “Trunk Groups (Switch)” on
page 142 for more information.

■

Route calls intended for the CO trunk and the extension to the INTUITY
hunt group. See “Hunt Groups for INTUITY AUDIX Voice Ports (Switch)” on
page 186 for more information.

■

On the INTUITY system, the incoming destination extension must be set
up as DNIS service LGfax. See “Services to Phone Number Mapping
(INTUITY)” on page 192 for more information.

■

The fax machine must be connected to an analog port on the switch.

■

To send a fax from the fax machine, hotel staff and guests must remember
to dial a prefix (typically 9) to gain access to a CO line. All preprogrammed
numbers must be updated with this new dialing plan.

On the INTUITY, the fax machine extension must be administered as the Guest
Services Fax Machine number. If fax messaging is installed on the INTUITY
system, use the following screens to enable fax messaging options. See INTUITY
Lodging Administration and INTUITY Messaging Solutions Administration for
more information about using the options on these screens.
■

Use the Lodging Administration > FAX Add-on Administration > FAX

system parameters.

Billing Considerations When Forwarding Faxes
Guests that have faxes in their mailboxes may wish to forward them to an external
destination, often to a location that requires a toll call. In order for the hotel to bill
the guest for the cost of this call, there are some translations you can do on the
switch and the INTUITY system to make this work. This process is not completely
automated, but it could help the hotel recover some call revenue.
1.

Administer a feature access code for the CDR Account Code feature (for
example, *49) and a feature access code for the ARS feature (usually 9).

2.

Use the change system-parameters cdr command to set the CDR
Account Code Length field to match the number of digits for
extensions in the dial plan. See “CDR Parameters (Switch)” on page 205
for more information.

3.

In the FAX System Parameter Administration screen on the INTUITY
system, enter the CDR Account Code feature access code, the letter “e”
(represents the guest room extension number), and the ARS feature
access code in the String of digits to prefix to the FAX
number field.
For this example, you would enter *49e9 in that field.

4.

When the guest forwards a fax from his or her mailbox, he or she would
dial the destination telephone number (9 for outside access is not needed).

5.

The call generates a call record in which the guest room number appears
in the account code data field of the call record.

6.

The customer can now run call accounting reports based on the account
code data field to see if there may be billing required for outgoing faxes. If
the call is a toll call, the guest can be billed for the call.

For assistance in setting this up, contact the technical support center or your
COE. See INTUITY Lodging Release 4 Administration or INTUITY Messaging
Solutions Release 5 Documentation (CD) for more information about fax
administration.

Abbreviated Dialing Lists (Switch)
For access to a common set of telephone numbers, it is good to set up an
Abbreviated Dialing system list. You can then program several telephones to use
the system list, and if the extensions ever change for those services, you only
have to change the extension in the system list. The following example shows a
five-member system list with entries for the AUDIX extension and the Guest Voice
Mail extension.

Attendant Console Button Layouts (Switch)
The attendant console feature buttons are assigned using the change
attendant 1 command. The recommended button layout differs depending on
whether or not the property has voice messaging, a PMS, or call accounting.
NOTE:
The examples in this section are based on punch-out button labels used
with older consoles that are no longer being sold as new. The button labels
for the newer consoles must be typed or hand-written on the button label
sheets.
For information on installing the attendant console, see the switch installation
documents.
Figure 24 shows the recommended button layout if you have voice messaging.
The shaded buttons are different from the ones suggested in Figure 25. Do not
translate the PMS Alarm or Call Accounting System (CAS) Alarm buttons if there
is no PMS or call accounting system.

■

abrv-dial (Controlled Restrictions assigned as an Abbreviated Dialing
button). The Abbreviated Dialing button emulates dialing the feature
access code followed by the desired restriction code, such as Outward
Restriction.
For example, if the User Controlled Restriction Activate feature access
code is *27, assign an Abbreviated Dialing button that dials *271. This
automatically dials the feature access code and the code (1) for Outward
Restriction. All the customer has to do now is enter the room number
where the restriction is to be applied. Another button can be assigned for
the deactivate code.

Attendant Backup (Switch)
Use the change console-parameters command to administer the Attendant
Backup parameters. In addition, you must assign a Queue Calls button to the
backup telephones. See page 116 for more information.
On Page 1, administer the following:
■

Calls in Queue Warning — This level should be set to 1 if the
customer uses the backup telephones for most call handling. If the
customer uses the attendant console for most call handling, you can set
this level to a higher threshold. The customer may have to experiment with
this setting to find a good working queue level.

■

Ext Alert Port (TAAS) — This field must have an analog circuit
equipment location administered even if you do not have external ringing
equipment connected to the circuit. This is required to allow the Attendant
Backup feature to work properly.

■

Backup Alerting — Enter y. If Tenant Partitioning is enabled on the
switch, the Backup Alerting option cannot be used.

On Page 2, administer the following:
■

No Answer Timeout — This controls when ringing at the console will
stop after a call is waiting in queue. When the timeout occurs, the console
stops ringing, but the call can still be answered. A good value to begin with
is 10.

■

Alerting — This controls the timeout limit before the console
automatically goes into Night mode and Position Busy when calls are not
answered. This is a good feature to administer in the situation in which the
attendant takes a break or leaves at the end of the day and forgets to put
the console into Night service. For example, if the No Answer Timeout
field is set to 10 seconds, and the Alerting field is set to 10 seconds, the
following occurs: a call rings at the console; after 10 seconds the console
ringing shuts off; the call continues to queue for 10 seconds; then the
console goes into Night mode and Position Busy. The call can now be
answered from a backup telephone.

telephone, the screens show different fields. This example shows the model 6424
used as an attendant backup telephone.
NOTE:
When the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting package is first installed, the
set of extensions and trunks administered on the switch is coordinated with
Homisco. If extensions and trunks are added at a later date, Homisco must
be notified so changes can be added to the call accounting package.

Backup Telephone Button Layouts (Switch)
The telephones used for the Attendant Backup feature should have several of the
same buttons you would assign to the attendant console. These are assigned
using the change station XXXX command, where the XXXX is the extension
number. The following is a list of the recommended feature buttons:
■

Attendant Queue Calls (atd-qcalls) (this button is required for the
Attendant Backup feature)

■

Attendant Call Pickup (this is an autodial button that is programmed with
the TAAS feature access code; the TAAS code is used to answer the
Attendant Backup calls)

■

Attendant time in queue (atd-qtime)

■

Do Not Disturb - Extension (ext-dn-dst)

■

Automatic Wakeup (auto-wkup)

■

aut-msg-wt (administer the extension where failed Automatic Wakeup
Calls are reported)

■

Night Service (night-serv) (only one backup telephone can have a Night
Service button)

■

Ringer Cutoff (ringer-off)

■

Check-In (check-in)

■

Check-Out (check-out)

■

VIP Check-In (vip-chkin)

■

DID View (did-view) (the Automatic or Custom Selection of DID Numbers
features must be enabled; see page 143)

■

DID Remove (did-remove) (the Automatic or Custom Selection of DID
Numbers features must be enabled; see page 143)

■

Message Waiting Activation (mwn-act; if the system does not have voice
mail)

■

Message Waiting Deactivation (mwn-deact; if the system does not have
voice mail)

■

Busy Indication for the attendant console extension and any other backup
telephones (busy-ind)

■

PMS Alarm (pms-alarm)

■

CAS Alarm (cdr1-alarm).

In addition, make sure that the backup telephone’s class of service has console
permissions assigned (change cos).

Figure 27, Figure 28, and Figure 29 show a typical setup if you had three
telephones used as backups to the attendant console. The recommended primary
backup telephone is the model 6424. The second and third backup telephones
could be a model 6408. In this example, actual extension numbers are not given.
Extension 1 represents the published front desk telephone number. Extensions 2
and 3 are nonpublished numbers known only to the hotel office staff. In this
example, there are call appearances or bridged appearances of Extension 1 on all
telephones, plus each telephone has at least one other extension that can be
accessed as needed. With this arrangement, it makes it easy for front desk staff to
answer a call at one telephone, put the call on hold, and pick up the call from
another telephone.
When using the 8434 and 8410 telephones, adjust these recommended layouts to
fit the button layouts available with those telephones.

Guest Room Telephones (Switch)
Use the add station command to add guest room telephones. Once you have
created one telephone, use the duplicate command to create the rest of the
guest rooms since all rooms usually have the same features, coverage path,
COS, and COR. The Message Waiting Indicator is hardware-dependent
and must match the type of message waiting lamps on the guest telephones. This
can vary from room to room.
NOTE:
There are two features that affect the administration of guest rooms: Caller
ID Telephones and Suite Telephones. See “Administering Analog Caller ID
(Switch)” on page 124 and “Suite Telephones (Switch)” on page 126 for
more information.

Administering Analog Caller ID (Switch)
The TN2793B and TN793B analog line circuit packs can be administered to
deliver Incoming Calling Line Identification (ICLID) data to stand-alone analog
Caller ID display units or analog telephones with built-in Caller ID display units.
For this feature to work, the serving central office (CO) must support delivery of
Caller ID information over the trunks that are serving the switch. To administer this
feature, do the following:
■

Administer the Caller ID system options.

■

Administer stations with Caller ID options.

Administering Caller ID
Use the change system-parameters features command to select the Caller ID
protocol that matches the protocol used by the Caller ID units or telephones, and
to enable display of Caller ID information for room-to-room calls. These options
are set on a system-wide basis. Administer the following options:
■

Protocol for Caller ID Analog Terminals — The available
protocols include:
— Bellcore (default) — US protocol (Bellcore transmission protocol
with 212 modem protocol)
— V23-Bell — Bahrain protocol (Bellcore transmission protocol with
V.23 modem protocol).

■

Display Calling Number for Room to Room Caller ID Calls
— Enter y to display both name and number, or n to display name only.

Suite Telephones (Switch)
There are two features that better enable the setup of suite telephones: Suite
Check-In and Station Hunt Before Coverage.
Suite Check-In allows the switch to check-in more than one telephone with one
check-in command, whether the command is done from the switch or from the
PMS. This is done by setting up a “hunt-to chain” between a primary telephone
and up to 29 secondary telephones that are installed at different locations of a
suite, or between telephones in separate rooms that have been linked as a suite
of rooms. This feature does not apply to telephones that have bridged extensions
of the primary extension; the secondary phones must have their own extension
numbers.
For example, room 207 has three telephones, each with different extensions:
7207 (the primary extension), 7887, and 7897 (secondary extensions). You would
administer station hunting from 7207 to 7887, and from 7887 to 7897. When you
check in room 207 (extension 7207), the check-in process looks at the Hunt-To
Station field, and if there is an extension in that field (in this case, 7887), that
extension is also checked in. The system then checks the second extension’s
Hunt-To Station field, and if there is an extension in that field (in this
case, 7897), that extension is also checked in. You can link up to 30 stations as
one suite of telephones. There is no limit to the number of suites you can create.
When two or more telephones are administered in this suite arrangement, you
must also administer how incoming calls will be handled. There is a coverage
option called Station Hunt Before Coverage. If Station Hunt Before Coverage is
not enabled, calls to the primary extension (in this example, 7207) will go to
coverage as specified in the coverage path criteria. If Station Hunt Before
Coverage is enabled and there is a call to room 207 (extension 7207), if
extension 7207 is busy, the call hunts to 7887. If extension 7887 is busy, the call
hunts to extension 7897. If extension 7897 is busy, the call goes to coverage for
extension 7207 (usually voice mail or the front desk). If any of the telephones in
the station hunting group are idle, the call rings at that telephone and, when not
answered, goes to coverage for extension 7207 (the primary extension). It is
important to remember that hunting occurs only when an extension is busy, not
when a call goes unanswered.

Considerations
There are some considerations when setting up suite telephones.
■

Automatic Selection of DID Numbers and Custom Selection of VIP DID
Numbers for Guest Rooms
If Automatic Selection of DID Numbers or Custom Selection of VIP DID
Numbers is active, a DID number is assigned only to the primary extension
(the one that appears in the check-in message), not to all of the secondary
hunt-to extensions.

■

Automatic Wakeup
An Automatic Wakeup will be set and delivered only for the extension
dialed, not the hunt-to extensions. If the wakeup call is placed and the
telephone is busy, the wakeup call is retried two more times at 5-minute
intervals.

■

Call Coverage
If Station Hunt Before Coverage is active, a call to a busy telephone tries to
terminate to the hunt-to telephone before going to coverage. If the call
goes to coverage, it goes to the coverage of the originally-dialed number.
This is true unless the dialed number is an XDID number, and then the call
goes to the coverage of the non-XDID telephone found in the XDID’s huntto field.

■

Call Detail Recording
Calls made from any of the secondary suite telephones will record the
extension that placed the call, not the primary suite extension. Billing for
calls from secondary extensions must be coordinated with the call
accounting system vendor.

■

Check-In
If the primary extension or any of the secondary extensions are already in
the checked-in state, the room will not be checked in, and the message
“Room Already Occupied” will display.

■

Check-Out
If the primary extension is not in the occupied state, the message “Room
Already Vacant” is displayed, and no rooms are checked out. If any
secondary extensions are in the vacant state, all extensions will be
checked out, and “Check Out Complete” is displayed.

■

Controlled Restrictions
When a controlled restriction is applied to the primary extension, the
restriction is applied to all secondary extensions. This applies to restrictions
done from the PMS, the attendant console, or from an authorized
telephone.

Dial by Name
Secondary extensions that are checked in as part of a suite have an
asterisk (*) inserted before the name that is stored in the names database.
This prevents someone from using Dial by Name to access a secondary
extension; only the primary extension can be accessed. However, when a
guest calls the attendant or a display telephone from one of the secondary
extensions, the guest name (with the asterisk in front of it) displays.

■

Do Not Disturb
When one of the telephones in a suite of telephones has Do Not Disturb
activated, calls to that telephone go to intercept treatment, not to the next
hunt-to telephone in the suite.

■

Housekeeping Status Updates
When room status is updated by housekeeping, it should be done from the
primary extension for that room in order to be properly recorded. If
housekeeping updates the status from the secondary extensions in the
suite, the status for the suite (the primary extension) will not be updated.

■

Mailboxes
Mailboxes on the INTUITY system must be created manually for suites of
rooms.

■

Message Waiting Lamps
Messages left for the primary extension do not light the message waiting
lamps of the secondary extensions unless the Message Lamp Ext field
for the secondary extensions contains the primary extension. In some
cases, the customer will want each telephone to have its own message
waiting lamp. In other cases, the customer will want a single message
waiting lamp for all telephones in a suite.

PMS Synchronization
In some cases, the PMS database and the switch database may get
out-of-sync, and the telephones in a suite may not have the same status. If
this happens, front desk personnel may have to check out the room (saving
any messages for that room) and then retry the check-in.
During a database swap, if the PMS sends an extension that should be
checked in but that is not currently checked in, all extensions in the hunt-to
chain are updated along with the primary extension, regardless of their
current state.
During a Room Change, the information for the old primary extension and
secondary hunt-to extensions is cleared. All of the old information is
inserted for the new room number.
During a Room Swap, the system will change the guest name and
coverage path between the two rooms for the primary extension and the
secondary extensions.

■

Send All Calls
When a telephone has Send All Calls active, and the telephone is called,
the call goes directly to coverage, and no station hunting is done. If a
hunt-to telephone has Send All Calls active, it is skipped in the hunt-to
chain.

Mailboxes for Guest Rooms (INTUITY)
Guest room mailboxes are handled differently depending on which type of
messaging link is used between the switch and the INTUITY.
When using TCP/IP or X.25 signaling, messages are sent between the PMS and
the INTUITY system to automatically create guest room mailboxes when the PMS
checks in a guest. No manual intervention is required.
When using Mode Code, you must manually create a mailbox for each guest
room and leave the mailbox open at all times. This procedure is described in the
INTUITY Lodging Release 4 Administration document or on the INTUITY
Messaging Solutions Release 5 Documentation (CD). You must also use the
Lodging Administration > System Parameter Administration command and
set the Lamps ON For New Messages Only field to No. This means that the
customer must clear messages manually every time a guest checks out.
Instructions for this are also found in these documents.
When mailboxes are created, an * (asterisk) or 0 (zero) in the Guest Password
field allows access to anyone checking that mailbox for messages. The system
will not prompt the user for a password. If a # (pound or hash) is in the Guest
Password field, guests can access their voice mailboxes only from their rooms
until the guest assigns a valid password to the account. After assigning a
password, guests can then get their messages from any location.
NOTE:
The asterisk is the default password for a PMS-initiated check-in when the
PMS does not send a password to the switch in stand-alone mode. The
pound (or hash) symbol is the default password for a PMS-initiated check-in
when the PMS does not send a password to the switch in the integrated
switch link mode. See “INTUITY Lodging-to-PMS Translations” on
page 195 for more information.
If the guest mailbox has the Allow Personal Greeting field enabled, a
guest can create a personal greeting, and also change his or her password when
accessing his or her mailbox. A password must be four digits, non-sequential,
non-repetitive, and not the same number as the room number.

Recorded Announcements (Switch)
Use the change announcements command to assign extension numbers to be
used for recorded announcements. You can have up to 16 different recordings per
Integrated Announcements circuit pack. The maximum recording time per circuit
pack is 256 seconds (TN750) or 512 seconds (TN750B or TN750C). The
extensions used for recorded announcements must already be administered in
the dialing plan but cannot be used for any other purpose (such as stations or
directory numbers).

Once you have designated which extensions will be used for recorded
announcements, use the following procedures to record and test the
announcements. You must record the announcements from the attendant console
or from a station that has console permissions. It is recommended that you have a
hotel employee record the announcements so the same person can be used for
later changes or additions.
To record each of the announcements, do the following:
1.

Go off-hook, and dial the Announcement FAC _____.

2.

Dial the extension number of the announcement you want to record.
If an announcement session is already in progress, or if announcements
are being saved or restored, you will hear reorder tone. Try again later.

3.

Press

1

, and record after the tone.

If the announcement already exists and is marked “protected” in the
announcements screen, you will hear intercept tone.

The system records the sound of the receiver returning to the
station. Press the switchhook with your finger, press Drop , or
hang up gently.

5.

After waiting 15 seconds, dial the extension number of the announcement
you just recorded.

6.

Listen to the recording. If you need to record the message again, repeat
this procedure. If the message is satisfactory, hang up, and repeat this
procedure to record the other announcements.

To delete a recorded announcement, do the following:
1.

Go off-hook at a station, and dial the Announcement FAC _____.

2.

Dial the extension number of the announcement you want to delete.

3.

Press

3

.

Confirmation tone is heard, and the announcement is deleted.
4.

Hang up.

5.

Use the change announcements command to delete the announcement
extension.

If your system uses the TN750 or TN750B circuit packs, you must manually save
the announcements recorded on those circuit packs. Use the save
announcements command. If you do not save the announcements, all
announcements recorded since the last save will be lost if the system loses
power, or if the TN750 or TN750B circuit packs are removed from the system.
If your system uses only the TN750C circuit pack, saving the announcements is
not required. The TN750C has on-board memory for all announcements.

Crisis Alert (Switch)
Crisis Alert is a feature that sends a message to one or more attendant consoles,
one or more digital display telephones, and to as many as three digital, numeric
pagers when a guest or employee places a call to an emergency service agency
(for example, 911). The message will help personnel identify where the
emergency has occurred at the property.
To ensure that the Crisis Alert feature operates properly, you must administer ARS
patterns to accept any combination of digits that guests could possibly dial while
trying to dial the emergency service agency, and route the call to the correct
location. For example, some guests might dial 9 (for an outside line) and then 911.
Other guests may only dial 911. Without the correct routing patterns, the call will
not go through. These screens show two examples of how this routing can be
administered.
Assign a routing pattern and the alrt Call Type to the desired emergency service
access code. For example, if your emergency service access code is 911, assign
the 911 digit string to a routing pattern, and assign it the alrt Call Type. This takes
care of the condition when the guest dials 9 (for local access) and then 911. If a
guest only dials 911, you also want the call to route to the emergency service
agency. You must assign a dialed string of 11 with a different routing pattern that
removes the dialed digits 11 and inserts the dialed digit string 911. The following
screens show these two examples administered as part of the ARS Digit Analysis
Table.

Crisis Alert can notify attendant consoles, digital display telephones, and digital,
numeric pagers. If you are setting up Crisis Alert to notify one or more display
telephones, use the change system-parameters crisis-alert command to
indicate whether every designated display telephone user must respond to the
crisis notification, or whether only one user must respond.
Use this same command to administer the Crisis Alert to Pager options.
NOTE:
You should never set up Crisis Alert to Pager as your only option. When
using the Crisis Alert to Pager option, always set up at least one attendant
console or telephone to receive the same crisis alert messages.
The options for Crisis Alert to Pager include the following:
■

Alert Pager — Enter y to enable Crisis Alert to Pager. When this field is
enabled, the other fields display. If you want to temporarily disable this
feature, enter n. This will cause the fields to disappear, but any data in the
fields will be displayed the next time you enable the feature.

■

Originating Extension — Enter a valid extension from the dial plan.

■

Crisis Alert Code — Enter a distinctive code that identifies this page as an
emergency call from the property. For example, you might use 911 in the
United States.

■

Pager Numbers and PIN — Enter at least one, and up to three different
pager numbers. Each pager number can be up to 15 digits long. If needed,
enter personal ID numbers (PIN) for each pager number. PINs can also be
up to 15 characters long. For the PIN, the letter p adds a pause interval
before sending the PIN. The characters * and # may also be part of the
PIN.

■

DTMF Duration — Enter a value (from 20 to 2550 msec) for the duration of
the DTMF tones, and the amount of pause between the tones. The default
for each is 100 msec. This value may need to be adjusted depending on
trunking requirements.

Assigning DID Numbers to Guest Rooms
(Switch)
Front desk personnel can assign a DID number to a guest room when the guest
checks in, or at any time during the guest’s stay. A DID number gives the guest a
direct phone number to his or her room that can be shared with family or business
associates. A DID number also enhances guest security by allowing people to
contact guests without giving out the guest room number. The DID number can be
dialed as an extension from within the property, or as a 7- or 10-digit number by
callers outside of the property. These numbers are selected from a block of DID
numbers purchased by the customer from the customer’s local telephone
company.
DID numbers can be assigned to guest rooms using two different features:
■

Automatic Selection of DID Numbers, or

■

Custom Selection of VIP DID numbers.

Automatic Selection of DID Numbers allows the switch to automatically assign a
DID number to a guest room when the guest checks in. The switch selects the
DID numbers from an administered set of DID numbers that have been
designated for automatic assignment. The numbers are selected on a rotating
basis, with the oldest DID number assigned with each new check-in. After the
switch assigns a DID number, the number can be viewed and changed manually
from an attendant console or backup telephone. The pool of DID numbers used
for this feature is separate from the pool of numbers used for the Custom
Selection of VIP DID Numbers feature.
Custom Selection of VIP DID Numbers allows the switch to assign a special DID
number to a guest room when a guest checks in. The front desk personnel select
the DID numbers from an administered set of DID numbers that have been
designated for custom, or repeat, assignment. This feature is used for VIP guests
that wish to have the same DID number every time they check in to the property.
After a DID number is assigned, the number can be viewed and changed
manually from an attendant console or backup telephone. The pool of DID
numbers used for this feature is separate from the pool of numbers used for the
Automatic Selection of DID Numbers feature.
These features work when checking in either from the attendant console or
backup telephone, or when checking in using a PMS, as long as the PMS
software has been updated to use this feature. The switch PMS messages have
been changed to allow the PMS to request a DID number, which the switch sends
as part of the check-in response (automatic selection) or as a separate message
(custom selection). See the GuestWorks and DEFINITY ECS Property
Management System Interface Specifications (555-231-601, Issue 3 or later) for
more details.

To administer this feature, do the following:
■

Enable the Automatic Selection of DID Numbers and the Custom Selection
of VIP DID Numbers features.

■

Assign one block of extensions to be used as automatic DID numbers and
a different block of extensions to be used as custom DID numbers.

■

Assign VIP Check-In, DID View, and DID Remove buttons on the attendant
console and backup telephones.

Enabling Automatic and Custom Selection
of DID Numbers
Use the change system-parameters hospitality command, Page 2, to enable
these features. You can have Automatic Selection of DID Numbers enabled
without using Custom Selection of VIP DID Numbers, but you cannot have
Custom Selection of VIP DID Numbers without enabling Automatic Selection of
DID numbers.

Assigning the DID Numbers
Use the add station XXXX command to assign the DID numbers. Use a block of
unassigned extensions from the switch numbering plan. The DID numbers must
match the DID numbers assigned by the customer’s telephone company. To
maintain consistency, the extension length on the switch must match the
extension length of the DID numbers assigned by the telephone company.
The quantity and management of DID numbers assigned is up to the customer.
The customer may want to limit the quantity of DID numbers assigned, or have the
ability to give out a DID number to every guest. If the customer wants to use both
automatic and custom selection of DID numbers, they must have one set of
automatic DID numbers and another set of custom DID numbers. When assigning
the DID numbers, do not use a COS that has the Client Room feature enabled.
This prevents someone from accidentally checking in or checking out a DID
telephone number.
The following examples show and XDID and XDIDVIP station assignment.

When you first assign the DID numbers, the Hunt-to Station field does not
have an assignment (it is a display-only field). When a DID number is assigned to
a guest room extension when the guest checks in, that guest room extension is
then displayed in the Hunt-to Station field of the assigned DID number. Use
the list station type xdid or list station type xdidvip commands to list the DID
number assignments.
After you assign one DID number, use the duplicate station XXXX command to
create the rest of your DID numbers. Duplication can be used for only one station
type at a time (XDID or XIDVIP, but not both at the same time).

Assigning DID Number Feature Buttons
Assign the following feature buttons to use the DID number features:
■

did-view

■

did-remove

■

vip-chkin.

These buttons can be assigned to attendant consoles and backup telephones
with console permissions. See “Attendant Console Button Layouts (Switch)” on
page 106 and “Backup Telephone Button Layouts (Switch)” on page 116 for more
information.

Considerations
■

Call Coverage
Calls using a DID number will cover to the guest’s coverage path as if the
guest’s extension was dialed.

■

Call Coverage for Unassigned DID Numbers
Assign a special Call Coverage path for all DID numbers. This coverage
should terminate to the attendant or to a recording stating that the number
dialed is no longer in use. When the DID number is assigned to a guest
room, the coverage follows the path for that guest. When the DID number
is not being used, the call will go to the attendant or to a recording.
If the coverage goes to a special mailbox on the voice mail system, you can
administer the system so the caller can dial 0 to get the front desk. For
example, the recording could say “Thank you for calling the ABC Hotel.
The guest you have called is no longer available at this number. Please
press 0 for assistance.”

■

Call Detail Recording
Incoming calls are recorded for the DID number, not the room extension
number. Billing for incoming calls to DID numbers must be coordinated with
the call accounting system vendor.

■

Call Vectoring
You cannot route a vector step to an xdid or xdidvip station type.

■

Collect Calls
In general, collect calls to DID guest room numbers should not be allowed.
Check with your local telephone company to see if the incoming trunks can
be administered to deny collect calls to the guest rooms.

Number Rotation for Automatic Selection of DID Numbers
Initially, the DID numbers are assigned during check-in in the order in
which they were administered on the switch. Over time, that order will
become more random, depending on the length of each guest’s stay.
This rotation of numbers is not used for Custom Selection of VIP DID
Numbers since those numbers are manually assigned.

■

Save Translations
The DID number assignments are saved in translations (either when done
manually or during the automatic save every night). Any system resets of
level 3 or higher will lose DID number check-in assignments since the last
save.

Automatic Wakeup Options (Switch)
Automatic Wakeup is a standard feature when hospitality is enabled on the
Customer Options form. In addition to the standard single wakeup option set up
by front desk personnel, the following options are available for the Automatic
Wakeup feature:
■

Dual Wakeup
Dual wakeup calls can be set up by front desk personnel, or by the guest
when using the Wakeup Activation via Tones feature.

■

Daily Wakeup
Daily wakeup calls can only be set up by front desk personnel.

■

VIP Wakeup, including the maximum number of VIP Wakeup requests
allowed during a 5-minute interval
VIP wakeup calls can only be set up by front desk personnel.

■

Wakeup Activation via Tones
This feature allows a guest to set up wakeup calls without having to use the
Speech Synthesizer circuit pack.
NOTE:
If Wakeup Activation via Tones is enabled, the wakeup feature
provided by a Speech Synthesizer circuit pack is disabled from
service.

■

If a wakeup call is not acknowledged by the guest answering the call, the
switch keeps track of these failed wakeups. Use the Extension to
Receive Failed Wakeup LWC Messages field to assign a message
waiting lamp to notify front desk personnel when this happens. See more
about this in “Attendant Console Button Layouts (Switch)” on page 106 and
“Backup Telephone Button Layouts (Switch)” on page 116.

The speech synthesizer circuit pack allows a guest to set up a wakeup call.
If the speech synthesizer is unavailable (busy or out of service), you can
administer a backup extension that will receive those wakeup call requests
so that they can still be entered into the system. Use the Routing
Extension on Unavailable Voice Synthesis field to administer a
front desk extension that can take those wakeup requests.

Call Vectoring (Switch)
NOTE:
If you use a vector to route calls to a location outside of your hotel, the COR
of the vector must route using its own ARS restricted partition to prevent toll
fraud, and the Facility Restriction Level (FRL) should be set to 0.
The Call Vectoring feature is used to set up the Automated Attendant feature for
incoming calls to the hotel. Coordinate this administration with your customer. To
set up an automated attendant, you will need a recorded announcement circuit
pack (TN750C), and you will need to record announcements (see page 133).
You must first assign a vector directory number (VDN) using the add vdn XXXX
command. The extension number XXXX is an unused extension on the switch.
You can have up to 20 VDNs depending on the capacity of the system (R8csi/si
is 10; R8r is 20). One of the VDNs is usually the published telephone number for
the hotel. A second VDN could be used by hotel guests to provide a menu of
information about hotel services and events. After you add a VDN, you can later
change the VDN if needed. For more information about vectors, see the
DEFINITY BCS and GuestWorks Call Vectoring Guide.
The next step is to create the vector used by callers to access different numbers
at the hotel. The following example shows an auto-attendant vector.

Attendant Vectoring (Switch)
Attendant Vectoring enables a set of commands used to write vectors for calls
routed to attendant consoles. When Attendant Vectoring is enabled, all attendantseeking calls using a VDN are processed using the call vectors, not the normal
attendant console “dial 0” call routing.
The main reason to use Attendant Vectoring is to allow flexible routing of
attendant-seeking calls. If users are instructed to dial an attendant VDN, the call
could be answered by an attendant, but it may also be covered to the voice
mailbox of a night station. Training users to understand these different call routing
options is something you should consider before using Attendant Vectoring.
If you use Attendant Vectoring and night service to route calls to a voice mail
system, you can also use the Automatic Message Waiting feature to notify afterhours personnel that there are messages in the night service station mailbox by
assigning an AMW lamp on one or more backup telephones. When personnel see
that there are new messages, they can check those messages after hours and act
upon them as needed.
Attendant vectors are set up no differently than regular vectors, except that you
designate the vector as an attendant vector. The following screen shows an
attendant vector.

Dial by Name (Switch)
The Dial by Name feature allows you to “dial” someone by entering the person’s
name from your touch-tone keypad. This feature is accessible by using the Call
Vectoring feature and recorded announcements (see page 133) to create an autoattendant procedure where one option allows callers to enter a person’s name
instead of the person’s extension number. The system processes the name
characters received, and, when a single match is found, the number is dialed
automatically. For more information about Dial by Name and vectoring, see the
DEFINITY BCS and GuestWorks Call Vectoring Guide. The Dial by Name feature
is available only on GuestWorks and DEFINITY BCS.
You must first assign a VDN using the add vdn XXXX command. The extension
number XXXX is an unused extension on the switch. You can have up to 20 VDNs
depending on the capacity of the system (R8csi/si is 10; R8r is 20). The VDN used
for Dial by Name would be the published telephone number for the hotel.
The next step is to create the vector that enables the Dial by Name feature. The
following example shows a vector that includes steps for Dial by Name.

TCP/IP Signaling
The TCP/IP signaling link requires administration on both the switch and the
INTUITY. Any switch type (csi, si or r) can use a TCP/IP link. The TCP/IP link
supports the PMS Interface for GuestWorks (see page 196). This section includes
procedures for testing the link.

TCP/IP Link (Switch)
On the switch, you must do the following to administer the TCP/IP link:
1.

Assign the bus bridge (csi systems only)

2.

Assign node names

3.

Assign IP interfaces

4.

Assign an ethernet data module

5.

Assign a processor interface channel

6.

Assign IP routes (if needed).

Assign the Bus Bridge (csi Systems Only)
Using the change system-parameters maintenance command, Page 2, verify
that the Bus Bridge Packet Interface 2 has been enabled for the C-LAN circuit
pack. If it is not already assigned, enter the C-LAN circuit pack equipment
location, and use the defaults for the Timeslot Port fields as shown below.

Assign Node Names
Using the change node-names audix-msa command, assign a node name and
IP address for the INTUITY system. For this example, the INTUITY system is
named audix, and the IP address is 192.168.1.70. Any 192.168.x.x IP address is
a non-public IP address. If you have a dedicated link to the switch, use the
address shown in this example. If you are using the customer’s network, you may
need to use a different address. If using the customer’s network, make sure that
the IP addresses assigned here are unique within the network.

IP Address

Using the change node-names ip command, assign a node name and IP
address for the switch. In this example, the switch is named guestworks, and the
IP address is 192.168.1.10. The IP address in the example is a non-public
address. Use this IP address if you are installing a dedicated direct link between
the switch and the INTUITY system. The default node name entry is display-only
and is not used for this application. You can add the node names in any order on
this screen; the next time you display the node names, they will be in alphabetical
order.
If the connection is going through a router instead of being a direct connection,
you must also assign a node name to the router and enter the router’s IP address.
In this example, the router is named router, and the IP address is 192.168.1.211.

name cannot be assigned to two different IP interfaces.

■

Subnet Mask — Identifies which portion of an IP address is a network
address and which is a host identifier. Use the default entry
of 255.255.255.0, or check with the LAN administrator on site if connecting
through the customer’s LAN.

■

Gateway Address — Enter the address of a network node that will serve
as the default gateway for the IP interface. If the application goes to points
off the subnet, a gateway address of the router is required. If the switch and
the INTUITY are on the same subnet, a gateway address is not required. If
using ethernet only, and a gateway address is administered, no IP routes
are required.

■

Assign IP Routes (if needed)
Use the add ip-route command to set up the IP route(s) from the switch to the
INTUITY system. This is required only when:
■

The switch and the INTUITY are on different subnets, or

■

When a Gateway address is not administered for the C-LAN IP interface.

Administer the following fields for each IP route:
■

Route Number — If you are going through a router, you must set up IP
route 1 from the switch to the router, and then set up IP route 2 from the
switch to the INTUITY system.

■

Destination Node — This field represents the node name of the
destination for this route. You would typically enter the node name for the
INTUITY system or a router, depending on your configuration.

■

Gateway — Enter the node name of the gateway by which the destination
node is reached for this route. This is either the local C-LAN port or the first
intermediate node between the C-LAN port and the final destination. For
example, if there were one or more routers between the C-LAN port and
the final destination node (the INTUITY system), the gateway would be the
node name of the first router.

■

C-LAN Board — Enter the equipment location of the C-LAN circuit pack
that provides this route. It is possible to have more than one C-LAN circuit
pack, but hospitality configurations will only use one C-LAN circuit pack.

■

Metric — This field specifies the complexity of this IP route. Enter 0 if
there are no intermediate nodes between the switch C-LAN port and the
LAN circuit card on the INTUITY. A metric value of 1 is used only on a
switch that has more than one C-LAN circuit pack installed.

This example shows a simple IP route without any intermediate nodes.

After entering the switch IP address, press F3 to start the test. This sends
test packets between the INTUITY and the switch. The system tests to see
whether all the packets are transmitted and whether they are transmitted in
the correct sequence. If there is high (greater than 10%) packet loss, or if
the packets are out of order, there may be network problems. While this
test is running, the yellow T/R lamp on the LAN circuit card should be

X.25 Signaling
The X.25 PI link requires administration on both the switch and the INTUITY. Only
the si and r systems can use an X.25 link. A csi system must use TCP/IP or Mode
Code Integration. This section includes procedures for testing the link.

X.25 Link (Switch)
Use the following procedures to administer the link between the switch and the
INTUITY for administrative voice messaging. This administration is applicable for
si or r systems using a direct IDI connection.

Data Modules on an si System
Use the add data-module command on an si system to administer the data
module parameters for a processor interface (PI) link. For this connection, the
data modules are integrated into the TN765 PI circuit pack. Set the options as
shown, except use the correct extension, COS, and COR as set up for your
installation.

INTUITY. Any switch types can use Mode Code Integration, but TCP/IP or X.25
are the recommended methods for messaging links.

Mode Code Integration Link (Switch)
Translating the Mode Code Integration link involves the following:
■

Enabling the Mode Code feature

■

Verifying that the default mode codes are accurate.

Mode Code Integration on the switch is described in the DEFINITY ECS

INTUITY AUDIX Voice Ports (Switch)
Use the add station command to administer the voice ports that are linked to the
INTUITY system. On Page 1, assign the following fields as shown:
■

Extension — The extension must be in the dial plan but not assigned for
any other purpose.

■

Type — Enter 2500 for the station type when using the TCP/IP or X.25 link.
Enter VMI for the station type when using Mode Code integration.

■

Port — Each analog circuit pack supports 8, 16, or 24 analog voice
connections. Depending on the circuit pack and the required number of
voice ports, you may need to spread out the voice port assignments over
more than one circuit pack. For example, if you are using a 16-port circuit
pack, use no more than four ports of circuits 1-8 and four ports of circuits 916 on that circuit pack. If you still need more INTUITY voice ports, select a
circuit pack that is at least one-quarter carrier distance away from the first
circuit pack. For example, if your system has 12 voice ports and you assign
the first eight ports to the circuit pack in slot 3, assign the other four voice
ports to a circuit pack in slot 7 or higher. See more about circuit pack
characteristics in the DEFINITY ECS System Description.

■

Name — Assign the first port as AUDIX1, and then increment the number
for each subsequent port (AUDIX2, AUDIX3, and so on).

■

COR — Use the same COR for the voice ports that you use for the hunt
groups. This COR should have the FRL set to 1 and should not allow
access to trunk group CORs.

■

COS — Use a COS that allows data privacy.

Extensions for Guest Message Retrieval (Switch)
The way guests retrieve their messages is to call an extension that is call
forwarded to the INTUITY AUDIX hunt group extension. This is done using a
standard station line that covers to the hunt group (defined on page 186). You can
also assign an extension that allows guests to retrieve their messages when they
are not in their room, and an extension that allows guests to leave messages for
other guests without ringing the other guest’s room. See “Services to Phone
Number Mapping (INTUITY)” on page 192 for more information.
Use the add station command to add a station extension that is used only for
accessing the INTUITY AUDIX voice messages:
■

Type — Enter 2500.

■

Port — Enter X (administration without hardware).

■

Name — Enter a name to identify this station.

■

COS — Enter a COS designated for AUDIX use.

After you assign the guest message retrieval extension, you must manually
assign Call Forwarding to this extension so that calls will forward to the main
INTUITY AUDIX hunt group extension. To use Call Forwarding, the Class of
Service for this station (the guest message retrieval extension) must have Call
Forwarding enabled (see page 89). In this example, you would forward calls
intended for extension 710 to extension 699. You can set up Call Forwarding from
any telephone that has console permissions.

Call Coverage Path (Switch)
Use the add coverage path command to define the coverage path that redirects
unanswered calls to the voice messaging system (as defined on page 186). After
three rings, calls go to hunt group 1 (h1). If the INTUITY system is down or the
voice ports are all busy, then the calls forward to the attendant (attd).

Services to Phone Number Mapping (INTUITY)
You must map the extension numbers used to retrieve and leave voice mail
messages to the services the extensions provide. These assignments control how
the call is processed by the INTUITY system. In the examples as shown in this
section, extension 699 is used by the office staff; extension 710 is used by the
guests from their guest rooms; and extension 770 is used for printing fax
messages.

!

CAUTION:
If the AUDIX service is not assigned, calls placed to the office staff
extensions will hear an “Extension not valid” message when the call is
transferred to INTUITY AUDIX, and the caller cannot leave a message.

Use the Voice System Administration > Number Services > Assign Service
command to access the number service screen.

Assign Called Numbers and Calling Numbers to the following services:
■

AUDIX — Enter the extension that the office staff call to retrieve their
AUDIX messages. In the example for this book, that would be
extension 699.

■

AUDIX+ldg — Enter any.

■

lodging — Enter the extension that guests call to retrieve their lodging
messages. In the example for this book, that would be extension 710.

■

ldg_ni_vm — Enter an extension that guests can call to retrieve their
messages when away from their room. This extension should be assigned
to a DID number so guests can retrieve their messages when outside of
the hotel. This option is not available on all systems.

■

ldg_ni_ca — Enter an extension that guests can call to leave a message
for another guest without ringing the other guest’s room. This extension
must have a coverage path that redirects to the voice mail extension and
should be call forwarded to the voice mail extension (in this example,
extension 699). This option is not available on all systems.

■

LGfax — Enter the extension callers would use to transmit a fax. In the
example for this book, that would be extension 770.

The Calling Numbers fields will always be any. The example shown here
matches the extension used elsewhere in this book.

This command shows you the extension numbers directly assigned to each
INTUITY AUDIX voice port. You can call each extension to test the ports.
There are four possible port states:
— In-Service (Inserv) — The channel is ready to accept telephone
calls.
— Facility-out-of-service (Foos) — The channel is not in service. This
occurs when a channel has been released through the Voice Board
Diagnostics screen to Inserv, and it does not detect loop current. A
channel in the Foos state should automatically convert to the Inserv
state when it detects loop current, but it may need to be reset. If you
connected the ports to the switch and the ports remain in the Foos
state, there is a problem with the switch, the connection, or the
INTUITY hardware.
— Manually-out-of-service (Manoos) — The channel has been busied-out under the Voice Board Diagnostics screen, or the channel
is on a new tip/ring circuit card. A channel in the Manoos state will
remain until it is released under the Voice Board Diagnostics
screen.
— Non-Existent (NONEX or no entry on any screen) — The system
does not see the channel. The system will not see a channel that
has not been properly activated even if the tip/ring circuit card is
present. To change a channel from non-existent to recognized, the
remote maintenance center must activate it.
In this example, extension 725 is possibly out of service. It can be verified
by calling the port extension to see if the call is answered by INTUITY
AUDIX. Refer to the appropriate MAP installation document for more
information about testing.

INTUITY Lodging-to-PMS
Translations
There are two ways that the INTUITY Lodging software and the PMS software
can exchange messages for database updates:
■

Use the Switch/INTUITY/PMS Link Integration feature. This feature uses
the switch to exchange the voice mail database update messages between
the INTUITY Lodging and the PMS. This option is known as the “PMS
Interface for GuestWorks.” The INTUITY system currently defaults to this
option. This option can be used with TCP/IP or X.25 links, but cannot be
used for Mode Code Integration.

■

Use a hard-wired link between the MAP and the PMS voice messaging
port. This link is illustrated in Figure 10 on page 31. This option is known as
the “Stand-alone Mode.” This option can be used with TCP/IP or X.25 links,
and must be used for Mode Code Integration. This link should also be used
if the PMS must keep track of the number of voice mail messages for each
guest.

Switch-to-Call Accounting
Translations
You must assign the link between the switch and the INTUITY, administer the
CDR parameters, and enable CDR for each incoming and outgoing trunk group
that the customer wishes to record. If a stand-alone call accounting system (such
as Xiox) is used, the vendor must assist in setting up the call accounting system.

Link Parameters (INTUITY)
The data link between the switch and the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting must
be administered by the Homisco technician when he or she installs the software
on the INTUITY platform.

CDR Parameters (Switch)
Use the change system-parameters cdr command to assign the CDR
parameters on the switch.
■

Primary Output Format — Enter printer (or the format required by the
call accounting vendor).

■

Primary Output Endpoint — Do one of the following:
— Enter eia if the call accounting system is directly connected to the
switch using the DCE port.
— Enter the data module extension if using a switched connection. A
data module must be administered first before making this assignment.

■

EIA Device Bit Rate — If the output endpoint is set to eia, use the
default of 9600 for the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting system, and 1200
for the Xiox call accounting system. For other stand-alone call accounting
systems, use the speed specified by the vendor.

■

Record Outgoing Calls Only — Unless the customer wishes to
record incoming calls, enter y.

On Page 2, administer the following:
■

The Number of Digits From PMS field should be left blank, and the
Digit to Insert/Delete field may need to be administered. If the
room numbers use a combination of 3- and 4-digit or 4- and 5-digit
extension numbers, you must enter the leading digit that must be inserted
when sent from the PMS to the switch and that must be deleted when sent
from the switch to the PMS.
NOTE:
The PMS interface supports 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions, but be
aware that prefixed extensions do not send the entire number
across the interface. Only the assigned extension number is
sent. Therefore, you should not use prefixed extensions for
numbers that are also going to use the Insert/Delete Digit
function.
This works as shown in the following example:
— Digit Insertion — If the digits received by the switch are 123, and the
insertion digit is 7, extension 7123 is checked to see if it is a valid
extension. If 7123 is valid, the message is processed for
extension 7123; if extension 7123 is not valid, the switch assumes
that the message is for extension 123 and processes it accordingly.
If both 7123 and 123 are valid, the message will only be processed
for extension 7123. Numbering conflicts such as this should be
avoided when possible.
— Digit Deletion — The switch checks the extension number before
the number is sent to the PMS. If the extension number contains the
maximum number of digits translated for a leading digit, and the
leading digit matches the administered Insert/Delete digit, the digit is
deleted before sending the extension to the PMS.
For example, if the Insert/Delete digit is 7, and extensions 712
and 7123 are valid on the switch, 712 will be sent as 712;
however, 7123 is sent as 123. This example presumes that there
are no 5-digit extensions starting with 7 on the switch.

■

The PMS Sends Prefix field indicates whether the PMS sends a prefix
digit to the switch as part of the room numbering plan.
NOTE:
If the PMS Sends Prefix field is set to n, and the Number
of Digits from PMS field is blank, the switch will not
support an extension that starts with 0.

controlled restrictions manually. Administer the controlled restriction feature
access codes using the screens beginning on page 86. You can also assign
feature buttons on the attendant console for the Controlled Restrictions feature.
See “Attendant Console Button Layouts (Switch)” on page 106 for more
information.
Optionally, customers can substitute Toll Restriction for the standard Outward or
Station-to-Station restrictions. Using the Controlled Toll Restriction
replaces field, you can enter none, outward, or station-station. If you enter
none, the customer has access to Outward, Total, Termination, and Station-toStation restrictions. If you enter outward, the customer has access to Toll, Total,
Termination, and Station-to-Station restrictions. If you enter station-station, the
customer has access to Outward, Total, Termination, and Toll restrictions. In this
example, Toll Restriction is substituted for Station-Station Restriction.
Instruct customers to use the GuestWorks and DEFINITY ECS Hospitality
Operations document to learn more about Controlled Restrictions and how to use
them.

Using the RS232 Mini-Tester (see the Note on page 5), check the status of the
PMS link. The leads marked with an asterisk are controlled by the switch, and the
PMS controls the other leads. If any switch leads are dark, there is no connection.

!

CAUTION:
After using a mini-tester to check data leads, you MUST remove the
mini-tester from the connection. DO NOT leave the mini-tester in-line during
actual operation.

If the link to a PMS is active, the mini-tester should show the following. The
Physical Link State should be up, and the Protocol State should be up. If this is
the status of the link, proceed to “Netcon and Data Module Testing” on page 219.

Netcon and Data Module Testing
If the switch-to-PMS link uses TCP/IP, skip this test. To test the netcon and the
data modules for a DCP link, do the following:
1.

Use the status data-module XXXX command (where XXXX is the
extension of the netcon data module).

status data-module 7891
DATA-MODULE STATUS
Data Ext/Stn Ext for Stn DM: 7891
Port/Channel Number: 01A0502

Service State: in-service/active
Maintenance Busy? no
CF Destination Ext:

Connected Ports: 01AXX01

If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the inservice/active state and shows the connected port of the actual data
module, this indicates that there was an available netcon data channel and
that the data module extension has been added to the hospitality
parameters screen.
If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the inservice/idle state, the PMS link may have been busied out. Release the
PMS link.
2.

Use the status data-module XXXX command (where XXXX is the
extension of the PMS link data module).

status data-module 7899
DATA-MODULE STATUS
Data Ext/Stn Ext for Stn DM: 7899
Port/Channel Number: 01AXX01

Service State: in-service/active
Maintenance Busy? no
CF Destination Ext:

If the status message shows that the PMS link data module is in the inservice/active state and shows the connected port of the netcon, this
indicates that the PMS link data module extension has been added to the
hospitality parameters screen.
If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the inservice/idle state, the PMS link may not be providing DTR. Contact the
PMS vendor for assistance.
3.

Dial the netcon extension and the PMS link data module extension. If these
facilities are operational, you will hear a high-pitched data tone.

PMS Testing and Status
Use the test pms command to test the PMS link. If the link is not active, this
command sometimes causes the link to be established. The PMS test (Test 215)
must pass before you proceed with further testing.
Use the status pms-link command to display the current status of the PMS link.
The following is an example of that screen:
status pms-link
PMS LINK STATUS
Physical Link State: Down
Protocol State: Down
Maintenance Busy? No
Database Swapping? No

The fields are defined as follows:
■

Physical Link State — If the link state is Up, the transmit/receive
lamps will be flashing, and all lamps except for the ringing indicator lamp
will be lit. This indicates that the link is active, and the call has been placed
from the netcon to the data module.

■

Protocol State — If the protocol state is Up, the data module carrier
detect lamp is lit, and at least one status inquiry message has been
received and understood from the PMS. The data module transmit/receive
lamps will be flashing if the switch is talking with the PMS. If the lamps stay
on longer than the link idle timeout setting (usually 20 seconds), the switch
and the PMS are communicating. If the TD lamp flashes every 15 to 20
seconds, this indicates that the PMS is sending data to the switch.

■

Number of Retries — This count increments every 5 minutes for the
first 12 retries, and then every 15 minutes until the link is established. A
high number of retries could indicate that the netcon data channel is not
available because too many resources are assigned, or the data module
could be busy. If there are no retries to report, this field is not displayed.

■

Maintenance Busy? — This field shows whether the link is currently
maintenance busied-out. If the link is not maintenance busied-out, this field
is not displayed.

■

Database Swapping? — If the field displays yes, the room images are
being transmitted between the switch and the PMS. If the field displays
pending, the database swap has been requested by the switch. If the field
displays no, the PMS link is up.

Database Swap Testing
To test database swapping, do the following:
1.

Busy-out the PMS link using the busyout pms-link command.

2.

Do a check-in or check-out on the test room from the attendant console or
backup telephone. This sets the flag for the switch to request a database
swap from the PMS.

3.

Release the PMS link using the release pms-link command.

4.

Use the status pms-link command to verify the database swap between
the switch and the PMS. A database swap can take from 20 minutes to 1
hour. If the database swap completes immediately, the PMS may only be
set up for an “empty swap” as opposed to a full swap. Contact the PMS
vendor and request that the vendor change the system setup to do a full
swap when one is requested by the switch.

data modules, and you will assign a different extension for each printer.
NOTE:
A log printer must be administered if the “list PMS down” feature is to log

Testing the Journal/PMS Log or System Printer
Using the RS232 Mini-Tester (see the Note on page 5), check the status of the
printer connection. The leads marked with an asterisk are controlled by the switch,
and the printer controls the other leads. If any of the switch leads are dark, there is
no connection.

!

CAUTION:
After using a mini-tester to check data leads, you MUST remove the
mini-tester from the connection. DO NOT leave the mini-tester in-line during
actual operation.

If the link is active, the mini-tester should show the following:

Appendix B — Connector Pinouts
Connections from the Equinox card on the MAP to the hospitality adjuncts (PMS
or call accounting) can often cause problems. The following list gives you the
pinouts and EIA leads provided when using a D6AP modular cord from the
Equinox card to the Equinox 10/10 adapter (P/N:210068, comcode 406983155).
These pinouts are on the 25-pin end of the adapter.
■

Pin 2 - TD (transmit data)

■

Pin 3 - RD (receive data)

■

Pin 7 - GND (ground)

■

Pin 8 - DCD (data carrier detect)

■

Pin 20 - DTR (data terminal ready).

This arrangement of EIA is standard in the industry, but these pinouts may
become valuable if the adjunct vendor needs to provide a special adapter to
interface to this arrangement.

there is a log printer installed and administered on the switch, these events are
logged to that printer as they occur. If there is not a log printer, the list pms-down
command displays the events that occurred on the switch for the last 24 hours.
The list pms-down long command displays the last 100 events that occurred on
the switch, regardless of time frame. Table 14 is a listing of the events and their

Appendix E — Xiox Call Accounting
Format
This appendix provides information about the Xiox call accounting posting
interface and format. If possible, share this information with the PMS vendor
before the installation.
Posting from the Xiox call accounting is done over an RS232 connection from
COM2 of the PC running the Xiox call accounting software to a serial port on the
PMS. The cable configuration is a standard serial cable with a null modem. When
the PC serial port connector is a standard 9-pin connector, Xiox sends on pin 3
and receives on pin 2. Xiox requires a connection on pin 5 (signal ground) and
holds pin 4 (DTR) and pin 7 (RTS) high while in the Call Processing mode. DTR
and RTS will drop when exiting Call Processing.
The following information is needed from the Property Management System
vendor:
1.

What are the speed, parity, data bits, and stop bit parameters expected by
the PMS?

2.

What data format is expected by the PMS? The choices are:
■

0 - Hobic record with a 4-digit sequence number

■

1 - Micros PMS format

■

2 - Hobic record with 3-digit sequence number followed by one letter

■

3 - Hobic fixed length record with 4-digit sequence number.

3.

What is the initiator (start of text) character expected by the PMS? (For
example, 02 for a black happy face indicating STX.)

4.

What is the terminator (end of text) character expected by the PMS? (For
example, 03 for a black heart indicating ETX.)

5.

Is the PMS capable of handshaking? If so, what character is expected by
the PMS for Acknowledge and Negative Acknowledge? (For example, 06
for ACK, and 21 for NAK.)

6.

Is a Block Check Character (BCC) or check sum expected by the PMS?
