Extension Status Operation (Hotel Configuration)
When Extension Status is in Hotel configuration, the Extension Status feature is
assigned to and removed from individual DLCs through system programming (see
“Extension Status” on page 280
for details). Hotel Extension Status operation is
always active, unless the operator presses the Message Status button to use the
Auto Dial or DSS buttons to see message-waiting status for each extension.
Pressing a DSS button while in Hotel Extension Status operation has the same
effect as for normal call-handling operations.
When not in Message Status operation, the red LED next to each DSS button for
a room extension is used to monitor room availability, and the DSS button is used
to restrict the extensions when the rooms are not occupied.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, Extension Status Operation is available only for
local extensions.
The meaning of the red LED next to the DSS button for each room is shown in
Table 15
.

NOTE:
The LED next to the DSS button for all other types of extensions is always
off and has no meaning.
Message Status Operation
Message Status operation activates when an operator presses the Message
Status button (the lower left feature button on the first DSS) while in normal
call-handling, calling group, CMS supervisory, or Extension Status operation. The
green LED next to the Message Status button is on when Message Status
operation is active.
