Using an MDF cable
From the RSM Assembly Module you can run one of two MDF cables: a male
to male or a male to bare wire. The male to male MDF cable connects the
RSM Assembly Module to a BIX Pack. The male to bare wire voice cable
must be wired to a BIX or similar modular distribution frame.
1 Determine whether the hotel's PMS is configured as data
communications equipment (DCE) or data terminal equipment (DTE).
Refer to the documentation for the product.
2 Use the appropriate MDF cable to connect P5 on the RSM Assembly
Module to a BIX or similar modular distribution frame, and connect
your peripherals according to the connections described in
on page 206
If you connect your peripherals using P5, do not connect any
peripherals to P2, P3, or P4 on the RSM Assembly Module.
On the RSM Assembly Module is an LED which, when lit, indicates that
Meridian Mail is functioning properly and transmitting data to the PMS port.
When Meridian Mail is off or not functioning correctly, the LED turns off,
and the RSM Assembly Module automatically bypasses Meridian Mail and
allows the PMS and the Option 11C Compact system to communicate
directly.
Below the LED is a switch that allows you to manually bypass Meridian Mail.
