Network printer

The network printer is used to print out the call charge invoices via a reception phone. It is activated via the Mitel 400 Print Spooler. Install the print spooler on a computer with maximum availability within your IP network and on which the printer you want is set up.

The print spooler provides three ports, allowing you to activate up to three printers independently of one another. It processes both print orders for TXT and HTML templates. For TXT orders you can also specify format properties such as page borders and fonts.

You can download the Mitel 400 Print Spooler from the Mitel Software Download Server or source it from your distribution partner.

As an alternative to the Mitel 400 Print Spooler, you can also connect a serial printer directly to the communication server via an IP adapter and a switch for small businesses without IT infrastructure. For example: Epson thermal line printers combined with IP adapters manufactured by AK-Nord, Germany, are suitable for this purpose. The serial printer must support the UTF-8 or WPC1252 codepage.

Table 12. Network printer
Parameter	Explanation
Network printer address and port	Enter here the IP network address of the computer with the installed Mitel 400 Print Spooler and the port configured on the printer spooler. Use the following syntax: <IP address>:<Port>.
Printer name	Here you can give the network printer a name if you so wish (optional).
Print format	Select here the print format for the network printer.

Guest room's DDI numbers

You can assign a fixed DDI number to the internal call numbers of guest rooms. An assigned fixed DDI number remains unchanged during check-in and check-out. Configuration takes place in the same was as assigning DDI numbers to other internal users.

You can also assign DDI numbers dynamically. With this option the system automatically assigns a guest room an available DDI number, meant for dynamic DDI allocation, during each check-in. The DDI numbers with the longest idle time are used respectively.

While the guest room remains unused, i.e. during the interval between check-out and the next check-in, the calls are routed to a separate call destination specially configured for this.

In the background, calls are routed via dynamic DDI allocation as follows:

As long as the guest room is unoccupied, the connected call distribution element routes the call to the user defined under DDI destination after check-out as general call destination.

With check-in, the call destination is changed on the call distribution element to the guest room's call number. This is not visible in the configuration.

Note:

Only the call destination of switch position 1 is changed. Switch positions 2 and 3 can be set to a central call number, for instance, for night service.

Table 13. Dynamic DDI (DID) allocation
Parameter	Explanation
Allocate DDI (DID) numbers dynamically	During check-in the guest room is automatically allocated an available DDI number. The allocated DDI number remains the same even when the guest is changed.
DDI (DID) destination after check-out	If Dynamic DDI allocation is enabled, the DDI number is enabled again after check-out. To prevent other calls via this DDI number from being lost, define a call destination here. The call destination is set automatically as soon as a DDI number is set aside for dynamic DDI number allocation. Note: If you change the call destination set here, you must also change it in the DDI numbers already set aside for dynamic DDI allocation in the call distribution elements.

Table 14. Property management system (PMS): FIAS

Setting up Dynamic DDI allocation

To set up the dynamic DDI allocation, proceed as follows:

Define the call destination to which calls should be routed when a guest room is unoccupied (setting DDI destination after check-out).
In the =w0 view, define the DDI numbers to be used for dynamic DDI allocation. For this, proceed as described in the instructions, in the Online help part.
