PMS Alarms
You may have a PMS ALARM button assigned to your attendant consoles and backup
telephones. If the link between the switch and the PMS goes down, this button
lamp will light until the link is restored. If this lamp remains lit for more than a
few seconds, it is recommended that you call your PMS vendor and the Lucent
Technologies support line (refer to
‘‘Product Support’’ on page 4 ).

You may have a CAS ALARM button assigned to your attendant consoles and backup
telephones. If the link between the switch and the call accounting system goes
down, this button lamp will light until the link is restored. If this lamp remains lit
for more than a few seconds, it is recommended that you call your call accounting
vendor and the Lucent Technologies support line (refer to
‘‘Product Support’’ on
page 4 ).

emergency service agency (for example, 911). The attendant console, backup
telephones, and digital pagers can be set up to receive this notification, which
includes from where the call was made. This will help hotel personnel assist
