Introduction
Ê INTRODUCTION TO HOTEL
ABOUT THE HOTEL APPLICATION
Hotel software is intended for use by hotels and similar establishments which operate a Samsung DCS, DCS Compact II or iDCS
keyphone system. The software is managed through display keyphones and allows the manager and front desk staff to check guests
in and out, enter items for billing, check the status of rooms, and
carry out other tasks that are a routine part of daily administration.
Your Hotel system will already have been set up to operate in the
most appropriate way for your establishment. If you need to make
any changes to the system configuration, refer to the Samsung Hotel
Installation & Programming Manual.
WHAT IS COVERED IN THIS GUIDE
Section 1 is this introduction to the Hotel application.
Section 2 takes you through the procedures required to perform
day-to-day administration including checking in a guest, checking
out a guest, adding billing items to guests’ bills, adding credit payments, setting wake up calls, printing bills, and so on. The proc edures require you to have access to one or more Administrator’s
display keyphones on which Hotel features have been programmed.
Simple key presses allow you to perform all of the functions required
for Hotel administration.
Section 3 explains how to use the special HOTEL key programmed
on the keyphone. This can be used for checking in, checking out,
changing room status and printing status reports.
Section 4 shows you how to print a Property Management System
(PMS) activity report and describes its contents.

Hotel User Guide
Introduction
Section 5 provides examples of bills (invoices) and status reports
that you can print.
Section 6 lists some of the more common problems that you may
encounter while using the Hotel application, and explains how to
deal with them.
WHO SHOULD READ THIS GUIDE
The guide should be read by all managers and staff members who
are responsible for processing guest and room information on a daily
basis.
For a technical discussion of the Hotel system, refer to the Samsung
Hotel Installation & Programming Manual.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
n STAFF CODES AND FEATURE CODES
Access to Hotel features can be protected by passcodes (staff
codes) for security. It is important that the system manager makes
sure each member of staff is allocated their own 4-digit passcode, if
these are required. The manager should also ensure that staff
members are aware of:
• the relevant Hotel feature codes they may need when using keyphones for administration.
• the passcode required to delete item charges from room bills.
Your system installer should have provided you with this information.
2
Hotel User Guide
Introduction
n ADD-ON MODULES
You may have one or more add-on modules
(AOMs) attached to your Administrator’s keyphone(s). These AOMs provide additional
keys for programming Hotel features and for
assigning to rooms / extensions (DSS keys)
to allow you to quickly check room status
and staff locations.
A single AOM may have 14, 48 or 64 keys.
The number of AOMs you need, therefore,
depends on the number of rooms you have.
Typical AOM
n PRESSING THE WRONG KEY
If you enter an invalid value or code during administration, the display will inform you and change to allow you to enter a valid
value/code, or to begin the entry sequence again.
n PROBLEMS
If you have any problems while using the keyphone system, refer to
section 6, Troubleshooting, or contact your system manager.

Basic Administration
Ë BASIC ADMINISTRATION
OVERVIEW OF ADMINISTRATION
Administration is carried out using the Administrator’s display keyphone. This will normally be a Samsung DCS (Euro) keyphone
(Figure 2-1) or an iDCS series keyphone (Figure 2- 2). The feature
keys should be marked clearly. Some functions (such as setting the
cleaning/maintenance status of rooms) can be carried out from other
keyphones not designated as Administrator’s keyphones—such as
guest-room phones—provided the appropriate feature access codes
have been set up in the system.
n USING THE KEYPHONE KEYS
This guide assumes that the Administrator’s keyphone has been
programmed with the following Hotel features assigned to keys:
BILL
BOOTH
CHIN
CHOUT
CREDIT
HOTEL
RB
RSV
SLOCAT
WAKEUP
XCHIN
Add or delete service charges to or from guest rooms
Enable/Disable booth phone (iDCS systems only)
Check in a guest
Check out a guest, print bills and put a room on hold
Credit a guest’s room or phone bill
Check or set the current status of a room (occupied,
needs cleaning , etc), check a guest in or out, or print a
phone bill
Remote billing
Room status view (requires one or more AOMs)
Staff location (requires one or more AOMs) (iDCS systems only)
Set a wake-up call for a room
Express check in for a guest
Other keys may be assigned miscellaneous system features, such
as CALL, MESSAGE, and so on. To use these other features, refer to
the Samsung Keyset User Guide provided with your phone.

n THE HOTEL KEY
The HOTEL key provides access to some Hotel features (such as
checking in, checking out and room status) which can be accessed
using other programmed keys. However, because the HOTEL key
has much wider applications, it is described separately (see section
3, Using the HOTEL Key).
n INVOICE ITEM CODES AND COSTS
Keep to hand a list of the item codes and costs that are likely to be
required when checking in guests and entering billing information.
(See the following example.) Make sure this list is available to all
staff.
Example
Your system installer could set up the system like this:
Item
Double (room)
Twin (room)
Single (room)

SETTING A “MESSAGE WAITING
INDICATION”, “CAMP-ON” OR “CALLBACK” ON A GUEST PHONE
If you ring an extension from the Administrator’s phone with a message, and the extension does not answer or is busy, it is possible to
leave an indication that you have a message waiting for that extension. Alternatively, you can set a ‘callback’ or a ‘camp on’.
• A message waiting indication alerts the extension user that you
are trying to contact them. A message key LED or special light on
the extension will flash* or a special ‘message waiting tone’ is
heard when the extension handset is lifted.
• A callback means that the extension will automatically ring you
back when it is free.
• A camp-on means your call will continue to ring at the busy extension until it is answered.
* The use of a flashing message light is an optional feature avail able with
selected telephones. Check with the system manager or installer whether
this option has been installed.
PROCEDURE
The procedure to follow depends on whether the extension is busy
or does not answer.
•
If the extension is busy, the display shows:
XXX:Busy
CBK
MSG
CAMPÜ
(If you see a “camp-on” display instead, refer to the NOTE, below.)
Select one of the following options (that is, press the appropriate
soft key):
23
Hotel User Guide
Basic Administration
CBK—Set a callback. The extension will automatically ring you
back when it finishes its current call (if busy) or after it makes
another call. Hang up after selecting this option.
MSG—Leave a message waiting indication on the extension. (Alternatively, press the MSG or Message key on your phone.)
Hang up after selecting this option.
CAMP—Camp on to (keep ringing) the extension. If you camp on,
the display gives you the option to select a callback or leave a
message waiting indication on the extension if you decide not to
wait any longer:
camp on to XXX
CBK
MSG
If you don’t make a selection, the extension keeps ringing.
NOTE: An iDCS system allows your phone to be set for automatic camp-on. If
this is the case, when you dial a busy number, you will see the display above
and your call will keep ringing until answered. At any time during ringing, you
can select CBK or MSG.
•
If the extension rings but does not answer, the display
shows:
XXX:Ringing
CBK
MSG
Select one of the following (that is, press the appropriate soft
key):
CBK—Set a callback. The called extension will automatically ring
you back the next time it is used. Hang up after selecting this option.
MSG—Leave a ‘message waiting’ indication on the extension.
(Alternatively, press the MSG or Message key on your phone.)

ANSWERING A “MESSAGE WAITING
INDICATION” ON AN EXTENSION
If a message waiting indication is set on an extension, a message
indicator light (or Message key) flashes, or a ‘message waiting’
tone—distinct from the normal dialling tone—is heard. How you answer depends on whether you are using a display keyphone or a
standard telephone.
Using a Display Keyphone
1. Press the flashing Message key. The display shows who left the
message indication (extension “ XXX”):
message frm
XXX
REPLY CLEAR NEXT
Select one of the following (that is, press the appropriate soft
key):
REPLY —Rings extension XXX. If the extension is busy or does
not answer, you can set a callback (select CBK from the display)
or leave a message waiting indication (select MSG from the dis-
play). Your Message key continues to flash.
NOTE: Setting a callback means that XXX will automatically call you back when
it becomes free. Setting a message waiting indication means that XXX is made
aware that you are trying to contact them.
CLEAR—Clears the message waiting indication without ringing
the extension (your Message key stops flashing).
NEXT—Allows you to see if any other extension has left a mes-
sage. This returns you to the display above to make your selections again.
25
Hotel User Guide
Basic Administration
Using a Standard Telephone
Either a ‘message waiting’ light flashes (if fitted on the phone) or you
hear the message waiting indication tone—which is distinct from the
normal dialling tone—when you lift the handset.
•
Lift the handset and dial 43.
The extension that left the message waiting indication will ring. If
there is no answer, replace the handset and try again later.
If more than one extension has left a message waiting indication,
your message light will continue to flash or the next time you lift the
handset you will hear the message tone again. When you dial 43
you will ring the next extension in the message queue. The message
waiting indication remains until all messages left for you have been
answered.

ROOM STATUS: VIEWING AND
CHANGING
The status of a room shows whether the room:
•
•
•
•
•
is available for checking in;
is occupied;
is on hold;
is clean or needs cleaning;
needs repairs or has had repairs carried out.
The status of a room is indicated by a status ‘flag’: a value set automatically by the system which changes when guests are checked in
and out and rooms are cleaned or repaired. The flags are set as follows:
Value
0
1
2
3
4
Status
Room available
Room occupied
Room needs cleaning
Room needs maintenance
Room is on hold
NOTE: A guest-room can also be set as a ‘smoking’ or a ‘no smoking’ room. This
can only be changed by reprogramming the system, as described in the Samsung
Hotel Installation & Programming Manual.
•
A guest can only be checked in to a room if it is set as ‘Available’. When the check-in procedure is complete, the room status
automatically changes to ‘Occupied’.
•
At a specified time each day, the ‘Needs Cleaning’ flag for the
room is automatically set by a system timer. The ‘Needs Cleaning’ flag may also be automatically set when a guest is checked
out, depending on system programming. A room cannot be
checked in again until the room status shows the room is clean.

If a room requires maintenance, this can also be entered into the
system. Again, the room cannot be checked in to until maintenance has been carried out.
n VIEWING THE STATUS OF ROOMS (RSV)
To view the status of rooms, your keyphone must have one or more
Room Status View (RSV) keys. Each room also requires a dedicated
key programmed on one or more add-on-modules (AOMs) depending on the number of rooms .
NOTE: To view and change the status of rooms using the HOTEL key, see section 3,

Hotel User Guide
Basic Administration
Using a Standard Telephone
It is convenient to allow cleaning and maintenance staff to be able to
set and change the room ‘cleaning/maintenance’ status when they
have inspected, cleaned or repaired a room. To do this, a HOTEL
key with restricted feature access can be assigned to room extensions if they are display keyphones (see section 3, Using the HOTEL
Key).
However, since most guest rooms are likely to have standard telephones, the procedure described below requires that a HOTEL access code be programmed which can be dialled from the extension,
allowing staff to enter the required ‘activity’ code.
Ask your manager if you don’t know the HOTEL code. (Enter the
code here:
) You may also need your staff code.
PROCEDURE
1. Lift the handset and dial the HOTEL code.
2. Enter your staff code (if requested).
3. Enter the activity code number. It is one of the following:
Code
Activity
0
1
2
3
Room needs cleaning
Room cleaned
Room needs maintenance
Room repaired
4. Hang up when you hear the ‘confirm’ tone.
If a room is flagged with ‘0’ or ‘2’, it cannot be checked in to until ‘1’
or ‘3’ is entered to indicate the required activity is complete. Setting
the flag to ‘1’ or ‘3’ sets the room back to its previous status (‘Available’ or ‘Occupied’).

Troubleshooting
Ï TROUBLESHOOTING
When entering information via keyphones you may encounter an error message or the system may appear to ignore your entry. The
most common problems, and their likely solutions, are listed below.
If the problem persists, check with your system manager, who may
need to seek advice from the system installer/dealer.
“Access Denied” Message
If you dial an extension and see this message on your display, it
means that your keyphone is denied from ringing that extension by
the system. If you require access to this extension from your keyphone, ask your system manager who will need to program the system to allow this.
“Invalid Number” Message
This indicates that you have entered a number not recognised by the
system, or which is already reserved by the system for other uses.
For example, make sure you enter a valid room number, staff code
or item code. In some cases you may re-enter the correct code; in
others you may need to start the entry sequence from the beginning.
You Cannot Check In a Room
If you cannot check in a room, you normally see a message saying
“Not Available.” Check its status. This can be done using the HOTEL
key or the RSV key(s). The room may already be occupied. Alternatively, if it has been checked out, the ‘needs cleaning’ or ‘needs
maintenance’ flag has not been manually changed to indicate that
the room is again available for checking in.
