SPRE Fixed Feature Codes

The Meridian SPRE (Special PREfix) feature codes listed below are fixed and cannot be changed. When using any of the default feature codes, dial the Special Function Prefix number (SPRE) first. The SPRE number is often '1', although it can be anything that fits the local dialing plan. It is defined in LD 15: FTR_DATA, SPRE (1 to 4 digits). To check your SPRE number, print FTR_DATA in LD 21.

Note: Stations require the appropriate CLS for a SPRE feature code to work.

Room Status (RMS) package 100 requires the following:

  • Controlled Class of Service (CCOS) package 81, and
  • Background Terminal Facility (BGD) package 99.

To change the Room Status, dial SPRE 86 and the room status code, followed by * and the Maid ID followed by #, if required. Then hang up or press RLS.

Flexible Feature Codes (FFC's) are an alternative to using standard SPRE activated feature codes. FFCs are up to four digits long and are defined in LD 57.
