Property Management System (PMS)
The PBX provides a data link interface to the customer supplied Property Management System (PMS) ac-
commodating hotel management features. The PMS can be any computer connected to the PBX via a RS-
232C interface or a LAN interface. It communicates with the PBX using the specified protocols.
The data link interface allows the PMS to accommodate both front- and back-office hotel management fea-
tures, by providing a means of communication between the PMS and the PBX for features such as Check
In/Check Out, Message Waiting, Station Message Detail data, and control functions such as Do Not Dis-
turb and Room Cutoff.
The PMS can communicate with the PBX to obtain the following information:
(1) Maid Status
This information can be entered from either a guest room telephone or Front Desk Terminal, and will
automatically be transmitted to the PMS for data update.
(2) Message Waiting Lamp Status Change
This information can be entered from the Attendant Console or Front Desk Terminal. It is then
automatically transmitted to the PMS for data update. If the automatic MW lamp off feature is
activated, MW data is cleared and status is sent to PMS.
(3) Station Message Detail Data
This information is transmitted to the PMS after completion of each local and toll call.
(4) Wake Up Service
This information can be entered from the Attendant Console, Front Desk Terminal or guest room
station, and will be automatically transmitted to the PMS for data update.
(5) Do Not Disturb/Room Cutoff
This information can be entered from the Attendant Console or Front Desk Terminal, and will be
transmitted to the PMS by request from the PMS.
(6) Check In/Check Out
When PMS with AP00 on RS-232C is provided, this information can be entered from the Attendant
Console or Front Desk Terminal, and will be automatically transmitted to the PMS for status update.
NOTE: When MP built-in PMS on IP is provided, this information can be entered only from the PMS
and will be transmitted to the PBX for status update.
