OnQ Compliant (Enable this option if you want to use Nomadix Micros POS
emulation to query & post to Hilton Corporation's OnQ PMS system).
The pre-paid option requires hotel guests to “pre-pay” for services. The post-
paid option allows hotel guests to terminate their connection (via the ICC) and be
billed only for the actual time they are online. The NH proprietary PMS is offered
on a “post-paid” basis only.
PMS solutions such as Galaxy require this option to be enabled to work with
Nomadix Micros POS emulation in wireless hospitality networks. Some PMS
systems send selection records as lastname, padded with white space (ascii 0x20)
on the right, followed by a comma along with first name initial and some flags.
Normally, the AG 5500 compares every character of the name as typed by the
user to the contents of the selection record. If the “Match Last Name Only”
feature is enabled, the AG 5500 compares only the user input with the part of
selection record which comes before the comma (assumes that the user only
enters a last name). If the “Skip First Char in Last Name” feature is enabled, the
space is reserved for purposes other than the first character of the last name, so
the AG 5500 will skip the first space in the last name field for name verification.
