Guest Rooms

Purpose

This form is used to identify hotel guest rooms to MiVoice Business by linking them to room extensions or to suites previously defined in the Suites form.

Guest Rooms in a hospitality cluster can be programmed either on the Hospitality Gateway (preferred) or from any Hospitality MiVoice Business system in the cluster. On the Hospitality Gateway, the device or suite referenced by the guest room number can be located on any Hospitality MiVoice Business system in the cluster. On a Hospitality MiVoice Business system, the devices and suites referenced are limited to those hosted on that system.

Use this form when performing the following tasks:
