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).

status data-module 7891

 

 

DATA-MODULE STATUS

Data Ext/Stn Ext for

Stn DM:

7891

Service State: in-service/active

Port/Channel

Number:

01A0502

Maintenance Busy? no

 

 

 

CF Destination Ext:

Connected Ports: 01AXX01

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).

status data-module 7899

 

DATA-MODULE STATUS

Data Ext/Stn Ext for

Stn DM: 7899

Service State: in-service/active

Port/Channel

Number: 01AXX01

Maintenance Busy? no

 

 

CF Destination Ext:

Connected Ports: 01A0502

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.
