Lucent Technologies Guestworks SErver 1079984G3 - Manual (Page 81)

Issue 1 April 1997 75
Feature Descriptions
■ Nonprefixed access to 100 possible extensions for hotel administration
users (500 through 599).
■ Prefixed room extensions — pattern 6xxx is for floors 1 through 9, and
pattern 7xxxx is for floors 10 through the highest guest room floor. Exten-
sions are numbered the same as the room: room 429 would be
extension 6429, and room 1234 would be extension 71234.
■ Toll calling access by dialing TAC 8.
■ Local calling by dialing ARS FAC 9.
■ Two-digit FACs beginning with * and # followed by a digit from 0 to 9.
When using prefixed extension numbers, it is not necessary to include an entry
for the “real” extension number in the dial plan. The server is able to complete a
call using the prefixed extension number. When dialing 7345 (where 7 is the
prefix), the communications server will ring extension 345.
When using a dial plan like the one above, which includes both prefixed and
non-prefixed extensions, dialing 567 instead of 4567 will ring an administrative
extension instead of a room.
The dialing delays, which may not be perceived by hotel guests, will occur when
dialing 6 and 7. The server must wait for the 3- to 9-second interdigit timeout to
expire before the call will be sent. The user can preempt the timer by pressing
the # key after the number has been dialed.
NOTE:
When using prefixed extensions, the extension that shows up on a display
voice terminal does not show the prefix. The prefix will not show up on
CDR reports. If extension number 3315 is prefixed with a 6 and the dial
plan shows 3xxx for extensions, it is possible to dial either 3315 or 63315
to reach extension 3315. If the dial plan was changed to remove the entry
for extensions in the 3xxx block, then 3315 could be reached only by dial-
ing 63315.
