Hotel Function
 
The hotel function offers room and call data management with the following functions:
Hotel reception phones
The hotel reception phone supports various control and query functions via the display and the LEDs of the function keys. For each room, a function key is set up on the reception desk, via which various functions can be performed.
Before check-in, the room status (cleaned, unclean, blocked) can be checked and changed.
As soon as check-in is complete, the following configuration and query functions can be used.
Call charge queries including check-in date
Interim call charge calculation printout
Wake-up time configuration
External access block
Check-out
Hotel room phones
When used as a hotel room phone, the programming and transferring functions as well as spezific call initiation types are blocked on the devices. The guest can initiate and accept calls and configure a wake-up time. The cleaning staff can also indicate the room status.
In addition, the administrator can prevent the initiation of calls between room phones (Room2Room).
