Chapter 12. PMS Integration

This section introduces the Port Location Mapping feature used with PMS
integration. This feature is designed for creating multiple VLAN divisions (as if they
were separate LAN ports) under a Service Zone and mapping these VLANs to
different locations individually. This feature can be utilized to provide separate VLAN
to separate clients in MTU/MDU deployments where a VLAN switch is deployed
under the gateway to provide VLAN connection to individual rooms.
The Port Location Mapping feature is also commonly used in hospitality venues to
manage the internet service for their guest rooms and public areas. In addition it
can operate in conjunction with third party hospitality applications and has been
tested with the Net Retriever middleware which provides seamless integration
between the gateway and the popular High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) hardware
and Front Office System (FOS) software.
Each Port Location Mapping entry can be configured to provide charged (single or
multiple user), free or blocked internet service at the location corresponding to the
entry's VLAN Tag. Please note that for charged service to work, it is required that at
least one or more On-Demand Billing Plans are created, allowing the user to choose
a desired plan to pay for their internet access.
NOTE
1. WHG Controllers default support Micros PMS interface and NetRetriever
middleware interface, if you require dedicated support in creating or
customizing your own interfacing hospitality software, please contact your
4ipnet sales representative.
