The PMS Interface provides the following:
•
A communications protocol for controlling message exchange between Communication Manager
and a PMS
•
An application module for controlling the operation of PMS features
•
Status data on all guest/patient rooms for selected features
The protocol is full-duplex asynchronous and provides the mechanisms for setting up a data session with
PMS, message-exchange control, error identification, and recovery. The interface supports standard data
rates.
Two protocol modes are provided: the normal-protocol mode as described above, and
transparent-protocol mode. Normal-protocol mode supports a character set that has a combination of
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) characters and ASCII characters. Transparent-protocol mode supports a
complete ASCII-character set.
