P-34 Paging Console
P-34 Paging Console
General Description
The PAGING CONSOLE feature allows a Console operator to transfer an incoming call to a PAGING CONSOLE
when the guest is not in his or her room. The PAGING CONSOLE operator pages the guest through the hotel public
address system, requesting him or her to dial a special number from a nearby telephone. When the guest calls, the
PAGING CONSOLE operator connects the guest to the incoming call.

Service Conditions
1. One Console is used as a dedicated PAGING CONSOLE. It can be a business console.
2. The PAGING CONSOLE uses an exclusive tenant, different from the tenant used by the other Consoles.
3. The maximum number of combined Consoles and PAGING CONSOLES is:
1 IMG:  Maximum of 16
4 IMG:  Maximum of 60
4. The AUTOMATIC RECALL [A-8] timer default is normally set at a maximum of 3 minutes.
5. The paging unit is to be provided by the customer.
