Connecting the YWS to the PMS
Action
Step Action
1 Connect an RS232 cable from the PMS RS232 serial interface to one end of
a mini-tester similar to the one shown in Figure 9-3 on page 9-5.
2 With the device powered off, connect the known DTE device using the
second RS232 straight cable to the other end of the RS232 mini-tester. If
connecting to the YWS COM 1 port, the cable connector must be a 9-pin
female.
3 Start the known DTE device. If the PMS device interface is DCE
, all LEDs on
the mini-tester should illuminate. If the PMS interface is a DTE
device, one or
more of the LEDs will not
illuminate.
4 Select an RS232 cable to make the PMS connection based on the results of
step 3.
5 Install the connection from the YWS to the PMS based on the facility
requirements.
See “YesWare PMS integration process” on page 9-2 for a description of
these requirements and Figure 9-1 on page 9-3, “YWS direct connection to
PMS,” or Figure 9-2 on page 9-4, “YWS isolated connection to PMS” for
illustrations of the YWS-to-PMS connections.
