FRONT DESK USER GUIDE
INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your selection of the Aria Hospitality system
which has been specifically developed for use in small to medium
hospitality applications. Aria Hospitality is a flexible system
designed to be configured to your requirements. Therefore your
installer will have discussed your needs prior to programming your
system according to the requirements specified by management. If
you feel some aspect of operation is not to your satisfaction check
with your installer as to whether the programming can be modified
or options added to satisfy your requirements.
The hospitality documentation consists of a number of User
Guides which include;
• Front Desk User Guides:
1. Front Desk Station User Guide
2. Front Desk Quick Reference Guide
3. Digital Keystation User Guide
• Service Keystation and Room Attendant User Guide
• Guest Extension User Guide
The Front Desk User Guide and Quick Reference Guide
for attendants have been written to provide general understanding
of the guest features of the Aria Hospitality system. Operational
instructions are given to enable you to familiarise yourself with the
system quickly and be in a position to establish procedures which
will best serve your guests.
This User Guide has been divided into two major sections:
The first section covers the attendant operation on a Aria Select 30
Button Display or Elite Executive Keystation without a DSS Console.
The second section covers the attendant operation on Aria Select
30 Button Display or Elite Executive Keystation with a DSS Console
(see DSS Map 1 on page 4).
Up to 4 consoles can be connected to each attendant or service
station. The pre-programmed flexible button assignment is
illustrated in DSS Map 1.

ARIA HOSPITALITY
FRONT DESK USER GUIDE

4

DSS Map 1 is used in this User Guide; there are four other maps
available. If management have selected a different DSS Map you
should place a copy of it in this guide to avoid confusion (see your
system installation specialist).
The assignments have been designed to assist the attendant in
offering faster and more efficient service, by having the most
frequently used functions pre-programmed for one touch operation.
Note: The word Attendant will be used through this user guide.
In this instance it refers to the front desk, reception and receptionist.

While Checking-in a new guest a number of important functions are
entered into the system. The diagram below illustrates Check-in
Menu together with the steps involved in Checking-in a guest:

Check-in is performed directly from the Attendant keystation.
Due to space availability on the LCD and the fact that you may not
need to enter data against all the options each step in the menu is
performed separately. Following the completion of each function
the menu returns to the Check-in Menu where the next option is
selected.
Each of the Check-in Menu functions are individually covered in
this User Guide with a detailed description and step by step
explanation of the operation involved.

ARIA HOSPITALITY

The User Guide also concentrates on servicing guest requirements
and one off requests during their stay in the hotel. Functions have
been developed to simplify Attendant operation requirements.
Functions can be directly entered into the system without searching
through the Check-in screen. This also provides for certain
functions to be activated for a range of rooms in one command,
example room to room call group and ICM call enable/disable.
These options are covered by separate menus which are
individually described from pages 18-29.
Please Note : Guests can call Service Stations even in cases
where the guest’s extension has been barred to all other calls.

If a room number has been selected on the LCD display, the status
of the previous room and next room can be reached by pressing the
[UP/DOWN] key until the desired room is displayed.
Printing reports such as Room Status, Total Charge Report etc., are
an important function of the Aria Hospitality system. Please note
that your printer will line feed 1 page prior to printing each report.
Incorrect feeding of paper will cause printing errors.
Ringing on attendant, service keystations and guest extensions
have different patterns depending on the type of call. The following

a concise understanding of all the functions available to you in
servicing guest requirements.
Please Note: If a Proprietary Management System has been
installed, operation of the functions in this User Guide will be
different. Please consult with the manufacturer of your PMS system
for Front Desk operation information.

This feature allows the application of dialling privileges through
Class of Service Assignments. These COS assignments can be

CALL GROUP

The default setting of Aria-186 Hospitality system is that all guests
are barred from dialling other guest stations. Where required the
Attendant can enable groups of guest stations to call each other.
This is done by putting rooms into groups; when room to room call
restriction is turned on, guests can only call those extension rooms
which are in the same group. Stations in the system can be
arranged in up to 100 Room to Room Call Groups, each containing
an unlimited number of stations. A Guest Station can belong to
only one Room to Room Call Group. Guest stations can also call
Attendant Station, Service Stations, and rooms in the same Room to
Room Call Group, even if ICM Call feature is disabled.
After Check-Out, Room to Room Call Group is returned to default
settings ready for the next guest

PREPAID MONEY

This feature allows the guest station to make calls in accordance
with their prepaid money. The prepaid money must be twice the
single unit charging rate determined by the hotel and programmed
by the technician (i.e., if 60¢ is charged for a local call from a guest
room, the prepaid money must be a minimum of $1.20) in order for
the guest to make a call.
If the prepaid money goes into debit, equal to a single unit charging
rate of the call during a conversation, a warning tone is given and
the call will be disconnected. You will need to advise the guest of
this if the prepayment feature is used. Prepaid money is included
as part of the guest’s room charge status report.

The default setting of Aria Hospitality system is that all guests are
barred from dialling other guest stations. Where required the
Attendant can enable groups of guest stations to call each other.
This is done by putting rooms into groups; when room to room call
restriction is turned on, guests can only call those extensions which
are in the same group. Stations in the system can be arranged in
up to 100 Room to Room Call Groups, each containing an
unlimited number of stations. A guest station can belong to only
one Room to Room Call Group. Guest Stations can also call
Attendant Station, Service Stations and rooms in the same Room to
Room Call Group, even if ICM Call is disabled.
After Check-out, Room to Room Call Group is returned to default
settings ready for the next guest
