SX-200 ICP Property Management
System Interface
The SX-200 ICP Property Management System (PMS) interface collects
and sends the following Hotel/Motel information to a customer’s PMS
computer through the LAN.
• Maid and room status
• Guest check-in and check-out
• Guest name
• Auto wake-up and message waiting
• PMS related maintenance logs.
Property Management System Messages
A PMS message is a string of ASCII text characters.
For example, to light a message waiting lamp for guest room extension
number 2129, the customer’s PMS computer will send a string of ASCII
keyboard commands to the PMS interface.
The PMS message sent is:
^B MW 1 2129^C
When the PBX’s PMS interface receives and understands the message, it
will send an ACKnowledge character back to the customer’s PMS
computer.
