Connection Requirements; Main Screen - Toshiba Strata DK14 General Description Manual

Connection Requirements

The HMIS connects to the Strata DK using two connections, the TTY port and SMDR port on a
PIOU, PIOUS, RSIU, or RSSU at 1200, 2400, or 4800 baud. If SMDR is also used for general
purposes, in addition to hotel guest billing records, it requires a customer-supplied Y-connector to
the general purpose printer or call accounting device.
The Automatic Wake-up Call function provided by HMIS has some specific Strata DK system
requirements. They are:
One digital station port must be available for connection to a digital telephone that is dedicated
to the auto wake-up function. This telephone and port is not used for any other purpose. The
customer's system must provide the available digital station port.
An external music or message source is required to play the optional music or greeting to
guests who receive auto wake-up calls. This requires a customer-supplied music source or
digital announcer to play the greeting, and a standard station port on an RSTU2 or RDSU card.
