Specifications and Entry Requirements
localFacility 2 YWS internal log facility. Do not edit this field.
digits ’’ Enter the digits between single
quotes that the PMS system should
substitute for the dialed digits in ALL call records fields. For example, enter
the digits '800-123-4567' in this field and the PMS will substitute these
digits in place of any call record, regardless of the number dialed. Leave
the field in the default setting ( '' ) and no substitution will occur.
Note the following special requirements for this entry:
• If outputType field is set to 2, and the number of digits entered in this field
is > 8, the PMS application will only copy the last 8 characters to the
output call record.
• For Promus/System 21 PMS systems, the entry should be 'INTERNET’'
• For Hitachi Standard systems, use the default setting ( '' ).
• For HOBIS Merge systems, enter a 12 digit number
serialPort /dev/pms YWS internal serial port setting. Do not edit this field.
timeOut 100 Enter the number of 100-millisecond (ms) intervals the YWS should wait
for an <ACK> or <NAK> reply from the PMS before placing a call record
into the FIFO buffer. The timeout count begins after the YWS sends an
<ENQ> or after the call record is sent to the PMS.
For example, the default value of 100 means the timeout period is
100x100ms (10 seconds). If the PMS does not reply in 10 seconds or less
to the YWS's <ENQ> or after the call record is sent, then the call record is
placed in the FIFO buffer. Two more attempts are made, then the record
is again placed in the FIFO buffer. Additional attempts are then made until
the FIFO buffer fills up with records waiting to be sent and Threshold1 is
crossed. See threshold1 field specification below.
blockCheck 2 Enter the number of block check characters to send prior to sending ETX
(end of transmission) character. For Promus/System 21 and Hitachi
Standard systems, enter 1
.
staNumPos 16 Enter the desired station number field position
in outgoing record. This
number indicates the position (starting from position 0 in the call record)
that the station number should be placed. The YWS only uses this field if
outputType setting is >=3 (see field description below).
Note: For Promus/System 21 systems, use the default value of 16.
Hitachi Standard and HOBIS Merge systems ignore this field.
sendEnq Y Enter Y
for <ENQ> (enquiry character) needed by PMS, or N for no
enquiry needed. For Promus/System 21 and Hitachi Standard systems,
enter Y
. HOBIS Merge systems ignore this field
