delay 5 Enter the number of 100ms intervals to wait before responding to a
message. This field sets the amount of time YWS waits to send the next
message, assuming the previous message was successfully
acknowledged or placed in the FIFO buffer for a retry. By default, the YWS
is set to wait for 5x100ms or 0.5 seconds between messages sent.
bits 8 Enter number of bits used for COM port communications.
outputType 1 Enter the number (1-4) designating the call record output type required by
the PMS. Output types supported include the following:
• 1 = HOBIC Standard/Original call record output format
• 2 = Alternative 1 call record format. Type 2 overrides blockCheck entry
to size 1. See Table 9-2 on page 9-11 for the complete Output Type 2
format specifications.
• 3 = Flexible format. All configuration entries in this format are used to
indicate field placement.
• 4 = HOBIS Merge call record output format
Note: For Promus/System 21, use Output Type 3. For Hitachi Standard,
use Output Type 1. For HOBIS Merge, use Output Type 4
bufferSize 100 Enter the maximum number of records to hold in the FIFO buffer. This
setting should equal the number of rooms wired, with an upward limit of
500 records. Once this buffer size is exceeded, records will be sent to the
service log. See threshold1 field specification below.
digitsPos 41 Enter the desired start position for the dialed digits field in outgoing call
record. In HOBIS Merge systems or if outputType field set to 2
, this field
is ignored. For Promus/System 21 and Hitachi Standard systems, use
default setting of 41.
stopBits 1 Enter number of stop bits used for COM port communications
parity N Enter N
if parity is not used for COM port communications. Enter E if even
parity is used, or enter O
if odd parity is used.
staNumLength 5 Enter the number (from 3 to 5) of characters allowed to indicate the station
number in the outgoing record. The YWS only uses this field if outputType
setting is >=3 (see outputType field description).
Note: For Promus/System 21 systems, use the default value of 5. Hitachi
Standard and HOBIS Merge systems ignore this field.
