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.
