[asterisk-biz] Hospitality industry

[Michael Welter]

No, it's not standard.  I investigated a Nortel system with its 
proprietary message formats.  From Asterisk you have CDR messages. 
Also, the maid/supervisor have several extensions to dial to indicate 
the status of the room.  From the Property Management system there are 
messages to allow in-house calling, local calling, or long distance 
calling.

Additionally, each property management system is different.

Ollie, how's the class going?

Cheers,
Mike
