Wake-Up Announcement - Headstart - NEC NEAX2400 IMX Features Manual

W-2 Wake-up Announcement – Headstart
General Description
This feature establishes a connection to the WAKE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT from the beginning of the message.
The message will not begin at a random point in the recording. A printout of unanswered or blocked AUTOMATIC
WAKE-UP [A-10] attempts for guests is automatically provided by the hotel printer.
WAKE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT – HEADSTART operates according to a predetermined disconnect timing which
is programmed in system data from the MAT.
Eight stations per PIM are rung simultaneously. Subsequently, another eight stations are rung at 1-minute intervals
until the 500 station/LP (Local Processor) maximum for a single wake-up period is attained.
Example:
7:00 AM - 5-minute
Wake-Up Interval
7:01 – 7:04
7:05 AM - 5 minute
Wake-Up Interval
Operating Procedure
Refer to the AUTOMATIC WAKE-UP [A-10] operating procedure for setting and resetting operations.
Service Conditions
1. Disconnect timing must be programmed in accordance with announcement length — not to exceed 30
seconds. Timing can be arranged in 2-second increments, up to the maximum of 30 seconds.
2. If a station is blocked from access to the announcement or if the wake-up queue memory is full, music or
hold tone will be sent to the station.
3. This feature requires a Digital Announcement Trunk (DAT) package.
4. No more than 500 stations per LP can be set for a single AUTOMATIC WAKE-UP [A-10] period. If the
500 station maximum is exceeded when setting AUTOMATIC WAKE-UP [A-10], the system will
automatically set the wake-up time five minutes earlier
Note:
A variable timing can be programmed in system data. The timing must be an increment of five minutes (such as 5, 10,
or 15 minutes) earlier.
5. All AUTOMATIC WAKE-UP [A-10] times are to be set at 5-minute intervals in 24-hour time. (12-hour
format is optional.)
Example: 7:50 AM = 0750
7:55 AM = 0755

Wake-up Announcement – Headstart
7:00 AM - The first eight stations (per PIM) are rung simultaneously for WAKE-UP
ANNOUNCEMENT–HEADSTART. When the first station answers, the system waits
two seconds, collects any other stations which have answered within that interval, and
connects them to the beginning of the WAKE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT–
HEADSTART recording.
Stations answering after the two-second interval hear music and are held in WAKE-UP
ANNOUNCEMENT–HEADSTART queue until connected to the beginning of the
recording.
This process continues until the 500-station/LP maximum is attained.
7:05 AM - New WAKE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT–HEADSTART Wake-Up period.
The process is repeated until 7:09 (500 stations/LP) etc.
(Note) for the stations subsequent to the 500th.
