Chapter 7 Billing Profiles and PMS Configuration
7.2 PMS (Property Management System)
Many hotels use a PMS device to perform in-room billing for services (such as room service,
mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone) that the guests use.
With PMS, the VSG allows subscribers to purchase additional time units online. In addition,
subscribers can select from a number of different billing plans.
To use PMS for billing, first connect the VSG to a PMS device using the
PMS
port (refer to
Chapter 2, “Hardware Installation and Connection,” on page 35
), then configure the PMS
settings on the VSG.
