Chapter 4: Network cabling installation
This chapter provides information about installing network cables for an Avaya Hospitality Messaging
Server 400 system. Individual sites can have unique cable requirements. The interface between the Avaya
HMS 400, Avaya Communication Server 1000 (Avaya CS 1000), and Property Management System
(PMS) uses customer-supplied equipment.
Important:
The customer must supply all cables.

HMS 400 PMSI IP connections
You can connect the HMS 400 PMSI connections to the Hotel PMS and the PMS port on the
CS 1000 using IP. TCP/IP offers enhanced communication. TCP/IP does not require line
boosters over long distances to provide higher transaction speeds and lower loss of data
packets.
You can use either a CAT5 or CAT6 cable for interconnectivity. Because the HMS 400 server
has only two LAN ports, to support IP connectivity (one for SIP and two for PMSI), all interfaces
(CS 1000, HMS 400, and Hotel PMS) must be on the same domain and must connect to a
dedicated network switch. The following diagram shows the connections between the CS 1000,
HMS 400 and Hotel PMS.
