# Linked Suites

## Purpose

The Linked Suites form is used to maintain the association of each Linked Suite Pilot number to the current Member Suites. Provisioning of Linked Suites can be performed through Property Management System (PMS) or system programming in the System Administration Tool; however, only one method should be used to manage all Linked Suites at the same site.

NOTE: We recommended you use PMS when managing Linked Suites because PMS provides a clear interface to Linked Suites information.

Use this form when performing the following tasks:

- Suite Service Programming

## Conditions

- You must program this form on the Hospitality Gateway ICP when Clustered Hospitality is enabled.

- There is a limit to the number of ONS ports on a single AX or ASU II card that can belong to a specific suite or ring group. When you connect ONS ports that will be configured as part of a common suite or ring group, spread the ports across multiple cards, with a maximum of three ports on any one card.

- To delete a Linked suite, you must first delete its members.
