A printer may be connected directly to the attendant console for printing hotel reports. The printer connects to the RS-232 port at the rear of the 5550 IP console.
The 5550 IP Console application takes ownership of the serial port while it is running; the following parameters should be set: Speed = 1200 baud, Data Bit = 8, Parity = None, Stop Bit = 2, and Handshake = ComNone.
CEPT or DS1 trunks should not be metered, and no message registration messages should be sent to the PMS with respect to these types of trunks. When CEPT or DS1 trunks are used to emulate CO trunks, these trunks are used to connect to outgoing CO trunks and the metering takes place when the actual CO trunk clears down. CEPT or DS1 trunks used to make calls within the network are not programmed to emulate CO trunks. They are not, and should not, be metered.
The Suite Pilot number displaces the extension number of the guest room extension where applicable.
Hotel/Motel is not supported for Hot Desk users, ACD agents, or Non-busy Extensions. Guest extensions that were also programmed as one of these devices in earlier releases, lose their guest extension programming when upgraded to Release 8.0 or later.
