System information

Switch Administration for the Lucent INTUITY Lodging
System
A-6 Issue 1 October 1997
The advantages of this method include:
■ Attendants can learn to cope with the new system without having to
answer the questions of large numbers of guests.
■ No guest has to learn both the old system and the new one. Current
guests use the old system, new guests use the Lucent I
NTUITY Lodging
system.
■ You can assign custom passwords and language options to each guest as
the guest is checked in.
Perform a gradual cut to service as follows:
1. Administer your switch to send call coverage for the guest’s telephone to
the Lucent I
NTUITY hunt group.
2. Check in each new guest as described in
I NTUITY Lodging Administration
and Feature Operations
, 585-310-577.
One-Step Cut to Service
On switches where a coverage path is separately defined and then applied to a
class of stations, it is possible to subject all guest stations to Lucent I
NTUITY
Lodging at once. Using this cut-to-service strategy, you change all of the guest
stations to Lucent I
NTUITY Lodging system at the same time.
The advantages of this method include:
■ Since Lucent INTUITY Lodging is brought up in one step, attendants must
only cope with one call-answering system at a time.
■ The cut-to-service job is over at once. Guests need not wonder why some
guests have one service and some another.
■ You can assign reasonable coverage options to all guests at once and
modify administration for the few that have unusual requirements.
Perform a one-step cut to service as follows:
1. Administer, by means of Lucent I
NTUITY Lodging administration, the
options your guests will enjoy.
2. Make sure your guests and attendants know when the change will take
place and that they have some idea of how their new service will work.
3. On your switch, determine the coverage path that applies to your guests’
stations.
4. Access your switch administration method for changing a coverage path.
Set the new coverage path for your guests’ stations to the Lucent I
NTUITY
hunt group.
