Personalized Text Greeting Message on Phone Screen

[arunknair82]

Hello All,
Is it possible to Display a personalized text message on the Screen of the IP Phone (9641GS) whenever a new guest check-in to a room.
Customer is using Avaya IP office 500 V2 Release 10. Every time a new guest check in to the room, on the Avaya IP phone screen there should be a text greeting message with the customers name.

Use receptionist soft console and send a text message to the user.
Text message size is limited..only a few words.

You can setup a webpage with event programming, check it out on devconnect.avaya.com, registration is free.
I don't know what you can do with it but i think it is your only change to get a feature like that.

Maybe try this.

You can maybe play with 46xxsettings and screen savers on the phone.
For each new visitor you can generate a new screen saver jpg file with the Hotel logo and customer name.
Reboot the phone from Poe Switch before customer enter the room to force image download.
i'm sure a good developper may create some web page to generate the logo and disable/enable poe trough snmp.

Configure each phone in a different Group SEQ in the phone programming * to program on boot.

In the 46xxsettings, create a Group SEQ per room.

IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto ROOM1
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto ROOM2
# ROOM1
SET SCREENSAVER filenameroom1.jpg
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END
# ROOM2
SET SCREENSAVER filenameroom2.jpg
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END

You can add more parameters per room.

If they are nice IP phones with the web browser (say, a 9621), you could setup some cool stuff with that.
Or, if you have a sql db you could run a command to pull a name from the db, and set the away message on the phone (and not be away of course) to whatever you want (limited size though).

Or, just update the "full name" on the phones. Leave the mailbox name, or whatever. The name will display. People don't care if it says "welcome", but a customized phone with their name on it would be cool.

You can set a status message on a handset using OneX Portal.
