Guest Rooms

Purpose:

This form is used to identify hotel guest rooms to the 3300 ICP by linking them to room extensions or to suites previously defined in the Suites form.

Guest Rooms in a hospitality cluster can be programmed either on the Hospitality Gateway (preferred) or from any Hospitality ICP in the cluster. On the Hospitality Gateway, the device or suite referenced by the guest room number can be located on any Hospitality ICP in the cluster. On a Hospitality ICP, the devices and suites referenced are limited to those hosted on that ICP.

Use this form when performing the following tasks:
