ROOM DIALING RESTRICTIONS
This feature is used to program station to station calling restrictions and is some-
times referred to as intercom blocking. For instance you can restrict rooms from
dialing the administration offices while still being able to dial the front desk, other
hotel service phones or other guest rooms.
ROOM RATE DISCOUNTS
The iDCS 500 Hotel / Motel software offers a method of discounting room rates, on
a day-by-day basis. This discount is based on a percentage of the full room rate.
The percentage is programmable and variable.
ROOM STATUS CONDITIONS
The system will indicate the status of each guest or meeting room when requested.
See Room Status Review. The five possible conditions are:
•
AVAILABLE – Ready to check in.
•
OCCUPIED – Guest is checked in.
•
NEEDS CLEANING – Condition after check out or morning update for all occu-
pied rooms.
•
NEEDS MAINTENANCE – Temporary condition for rooms requiring some re-
pair or maintenance.
•
HOLD (LATE CHECK OUT) – Indicates a guest requires a late check out so hotel
staff will delay cleaning.
•
HOLD AND NEEDS CLEANING – Room in hold status and needs cleaning.
•
HOLD AND NEEDS REPAIR – Room is in hold status and requires some repair
or maintenance.
•
CLEANED – Message sent when room has been cleaned.
•
REPAIRED – Message sent when room has been repaired.
ROOM STATUS REVIEW
The iDCS 500 Hotel / Motel system provides three methods to review the five room
status conditions.
1. An administrator's display keyset can be used to view the status of any indi-
vidual room and scroll through the list of all other rooms to view their status.
2. One or more 64 Button Modules can be used to view the status of all rooms for
any of the five room conditions (Example: press the Room Status View key for
"AVAILABLE" and all the buttons corresponding to available rooms will light
red).
3. Printed reports can be obtained to review the room status conditions for all
rooms. See Printed Reports–Room Status, earlier in this document.
