Management Systems
DEFINITY ECS exchanges guest status information (room number, call coverage path, etc.) with the property management system. There are two ways that the guest data can be encoded:
■Using a combination of Binary Coded Decimal encoding and the ASCII character set
■Using only the ASCII character set
As an additional GuestWorks enhancement, DEFINITY ECS can now use the newly preferred ASCII message set in addition to the mixed BCD/ASCII message set. In this way DEFINITY ECS is compatible with a wide range of property management systems: established systems that use a combination, and new systems that exclusively use ASCII.
