Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed
Station Numbering
Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering allows easy guest access to
internal hotel/motel services and provides the capability to associate room
numbers with guest-room telephones.
Detailed description
You must create a dial plan for hotel/motel services and room numbers. Some
suggestions follow. Refer to ‘‘
Dial Plan Record’’ on page 593 for more
information.
■ Assign a single-digit extension to internal hotel/motel services such as
room service. Assign single-digit extensions to individual-telephones or to
a group of telephones (for example, to service the front desk).
■ Assign a prefixed extension to guest rooms.
A prefixed extension is made up of a prefix and an extension up to five
digits. The prefix identifies the call type. The switch collects dialed digits,
removes the prefix digit, and uses the extension for further processing.
■ Mixed station numbering extensions can have from one to five digits and
can begin with any digit from 0 to 9.
The first digit, in combination with the number of digits dialed, defines the
call type. To differentiate between two numbers with the same leading digit
but different lengths, the system monitors the interval after a digit is dialed
and before the next digit is dialed. If the interval extends past the
administered interdigit timeout, the system assumes that dialing is
complete and calculates the number of digits dialed up to that point.
