Testing the Switch-to-PMS Link
To test the switch-to-PMS link, have the hotel designate a room for testing. Testing
the switch-to-PMS link includes the following:
■ Link testing with the RS232 mini-tester (page 217)
■ Netcon and data module testing (page 219)
■ PMS testing and status (page 220)
■ Database swap testing (page 221)
■ Check-in and check-out testing (page 222)
■ Message waiting testing (both manual messages and voice messages)
(page 223)
■ Controlled restrictions testing (page 226)
■ Housekeeping status testing (page 227).
During the switch-to-PMS testing, you will use the list pms-down command often
to view events that may indicate problems with the link. These events are found in
“Appendix C — List PMS Down Events” on page 245.
