10.2 PMS (Property Management System)

Many hotels use a PMS device to perform in-room billing for services (such as room services, mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone) that the guests use.

With PMS, the VSG allows subscribers to purchase additional time units online. In addition, subscribers can select from a number of different billing plans.

To use PMS for billing, first connect the VSG to a PMS device using the PMS port (refer to Chapter 2 on page 38), then configure the PMS settings on the VSG.

10.2.1 Port-Location Mapping

When you activate port-location mapping and PMS on the VSG, two charge modes are available: per room and per subscriber.

Select Based on Room when location is important. If a subscriber disconnects from one location and reconnects in another location, the VSG prompts for the user name and password again.

Select Based on Subscriber to allow a subscriber to freely move between different locations without prompting for user name and password.

10.2.2 PMS Configuration
