WHY TO INTERFACE WITH PMS
WHY TO INTERFACE WITH PMS WHY TO INTERFACE WITH PMS WHY TO INTERFACE WITH PMS
The interface is able to connect the encoding station with the Hotel
Management System Computer allowing the issuing of guest cards or
duplicates of issued guest cards.
The advantage of an interface system is to avoid double check-in data
input, in order to achieve great efficiency in operations and giving no
risk of data incongruence between the two systems.

PMS is directly connected to the ESIGNO Mobile by a serial cable
without any interface controller; the link is enabled/disabled selecting
Enable Host Link after pressing .
Whether the connection is enabled or not, it is visible on the screen
when the encoder is in standby:
•
#000dH00: link disabled;
•
#000eH00: link enabled.
THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The standard CISA protocol describes the messages that the Hotel
Management System Computer should send for making a card and
the response that CISA sends back. The basic data sent by PMS are:
•
room number;
•
guest name;
•
date and time for the check-in;
•
date and time for the check-out;
•
number of copies to issue.
To issue cards from the PMS, the encoder must be in an idle state.
