Avaya Cloud Office
The DuVoice DV2000 provides hospitality features to Avaya Cloud Office hosted VoIP service.
The features include a link to the property management system (PMS) to push the guest names into the Avaya Cloud Office guest room extension profile, allow housekeeping to use the guest room telephone to report room clean/dirt status to the PMS, guest wake-up calls and guest voice mail.
The DV2000 connects to the Avaya Cloud Office system using a combination of standard SIP extensions and through a RingCentral App developed by DuVoice.
New or existing guest VoIP or analog telephones can be used in the application.
The features will meet and/or exceed any existing on premise based PBX solution.
Features
Forward guest extension to DV2000 for guest voicemail
Auto login to guest mailbox with no password
Wake-up calls set by guest or staff
Extension or telephone (DID) number based
First and last name change in Avaya Cloud Office
Room Clean/Dirt Status from guest room telephone

Requirements
Network Considerations
Two NIC connections are recommended (not required) to separate the VoIP and PMS data links.
The DV2000 sends the message light (SIP Notify) directly to the guest room telephone which requires the guest telephone IP address be stored in the DV2000.

Troubleshooting
Name Updates
When testing with a checked-in guest, the RC API getting 200 OK.
However, when a guest was checked-out, the RC API was responding with a 400 Bad Request.
To fix this issue:
Opened DuVoice DV2000 Manager.
Clicked on 'System'.
Then clicked on 'tenant'.
Then double-clicked the corresponding tenant.
Then clicked on the 'name translations tab'
By default under the 'vacant' table the 'first' and 'last' use the wild cards for the first and last name corresponding to the mailbox.
Updated it so that the 'first' field was 'Room' and the 'last' field was the wildcard for roomid.
Example below:
MWI Consideration
Since Dialogic HMP can only be bound to one interface, the interface it is bound to must have internet access to RingCentral as well as direct network access to the phones so it can send MWI updates via SIP Notify.
Not Enough Rings for Wake-Up Calls
If Wake-up calls are only ringing once or twice. (Not to be confused with attempt count). Then there are a few settings within RingCentral that will need to be verified for the guest extensions.
Within the guest extension configuration under 'Screening, Greeting, & Hold Music' all of these must be unchecked:
User Greeting
Call Screening
Connecting Message
Hold Music
Example screenshot:
Ring No Answer Integration
If a forwarded call has more than the DID or Extension information within the SIP Header, specifically the 'from' and 'to' fields, the DuVoice system will be unable to route the call to the correct mailbox.
In our test case, we were receiving the name of the guest within the room and the extension, rather than just the extension (or DID).
Here is an example of working SIP RNA integration:
To fix our issue, there was a setting within the DuVoice Call Queue inside RingCentral.
Call Handling & Members
Under 'Display Settings'
Call information displayed:
Box 1: Phone Number
Box 2: None
Example screenshot:
Guest Mailbox Design
While this could be flexible and still work, these options worked best during testing.
Mailbox fields
RoomID = Room Number.
Mailbox = Guest's extension number.
Extension = Guest's DID number.
MWI0 = Guest's DID number (this is so IPPHONECFG can autofill the IP address to the DID for the MWI address).
Call Routing
Enabled extension search for called and caller ID.
Open DV2000 Manager
Click on 'telephony' drop down menu.
Click on 'call routing'
Click insert.
Set 'enabled' to checked, 'input source' to caller id, 'action to take' to extension search.
Click insert.
Set 'enabled' to checked, 'input source' to called id, 'action to take' to extension search.
Click 'apply' and 'save'.
PMS integration
Use RoomID to avoid requiring a translation table.
Open DV2000 Manager
Click on the 'features' drop down menu.
Click on 'hospitality'.
Click on the applicable PMS link.
Click on the 'PMS tab'.
Under the 'Room lookup method' field, select 'match room ID'.
Click 'ok'.
