Attendant Crisis Alert
The Attendant Crisis Alert feature provides a visual, audible, and printed record
when guests or staff place a call to the local emergency service agency. This
gives hotel personnel the ability to assist emergency personnel when they arrive
at the hotel by identifying where the call came from and when the call was made.
This feature uses the Automatic Route Selection feature to allow routing of any
emergency service access code to the appropriate emergency service agency,
while also identifying the call for crisis alerting.
After the emergency call is placed and successfully routed to the local
emergency service agency, the attendant console is notified immediately by a
special emergency alerting tone and a special emergency display (the
emergency call itself cannot be answered at the attendant console, but the call
information is displayed). The attendant can then note the room number and
contact the appropriate personnel at the hotel to assist with the emergency.
When someone makes an emergency call, the following happens:
■ The call is routed to the local emergency service agency. The call does
not route to the attendant console.
■ The
Position Available
lamp goes off and the lamp goes on. This
prevents new incoming calls from interrupting this emergency notification.
All new incoming calls are queued and can be answered after the
emergency notification is processed.
■ The lamp flashes.
■ The special emergency alerting tone starts.
■ The following is displayed at the attendant console:
■ The call information is logged in the server and is printed on the
journal/schedule printer (if administered).
The attendant turns the lamp and tone off by pressing the button
repeatedly. Each subsequent emergency notification is queued with a 5-second
delay to allow the attendant to finish processing each notification.
