Building Technologies Hotel room management software CM2N6343en
15 Dec 2008
management software is used to program various service keys to provide hotel service
staff with access to the rooms.
The rooms are setup and configured using the HSC tool and transferred to the Hotel
Solution database. The rooms are then available in the hotel room management
software.
The room functions in the Hotel Solution™ system are controlled by room controllers.
The room functions comprise:
• Control of the indoor room conditions,
• Lighting control,
• On/off signals from third-party systems,
• Various buttons on the operator unit,
• Various electrical contacts, such as the door contact and the window contact, and
• Internal status signals from the room controller.
Additional information about the status of the room is also generated. This includes, for
example:
• Whether the room is occupied or free,
• Room renovation in progress, and
• Whether or not the guest is in the room
All the data is stored in the Hotel Solution™ database.
The sources of data are:
• The room controllers in conjunction with the DGU driver, and
• The interface to the front office system
In addition to the configuration options already referred to, such as access control and
room configuration, the Hotel Solution™ system can be configured in other ways with
the hotel room management software:
• Access rights for guests and hotel service staff
• Encoder
• Room control via predefined scenarios (lighting scenarios)
• Direct control of room controllers
• System configuration
• Temperature profiles
The HSW3.1 hotel room management software includes a user management feature,
with which user profiles can be assigned to users. This provides the individual user
groups with access to the specific functions and displays actually needed for their work.
There are four different user profiles available which can be adapted to requirements as
necessary:
• Read only – Display of alarms and room states.
• Check-in/check-out – Access to the display of alarms and room states, and to the
functions required for checking hotel guests in and out (e.g. for the reception staff).
• All privileges but user administration – Access to all display and operator functions
except user administration (for staff with specific training).
• All privileges – Access to all display and operator functions including user
administration (for administrators).
When the hotel room management software is started, the user is required to log in
(with a user name and password), so that the program opens with the allocated user
profile.
As an additional precaution to prevent input errors, the entry of system-critical
configuration data is accompanied by plausibility checks and security warnings before
the current data is modified or deleted.
