Netcon and Data Module Testing
If the switch-to-PMS link uses TCP/IP, skip this test. To test the netcon and the
data modules for a DCP link, do the following:
1. Use the status data-module XXXX command (where XXXX is the
extension of the netcon data module).
If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the in-
service/active state and shows the connected port of the actual data
module, this indicates that there was an available netcon data channel and
that the data module extension has been added to the hospitality
parameters screen.
If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the in-
service/idle state, the PMS link may have been busied out. Release the
PMS link.
2. Use the status data-module XXXX command (where XXXX is the
extension of the PMS link data module).
If the status message shows that the PMS link data module is in the in-
service/active state and shows the connected port of the netcon, this
indicates that the PMS link data module extension has been added to the
hospitality parameters screen.
If the status message shows that the netcon data module is in the in-
service/idle state, the PMS link may not be providing DTR. Contact the
PMS vendor for assistance.
3. Dial the netcon extension and the PMS link data module extension. If these
facilities are operational, you will hear a high-pitched data tone.
