In room Port mapping
 The In-Room Port Mapping feature is used most effectively when setting up the system for the first time (for use
with the 802.1Q VLAN protocol). With the IRPM you can go to the room, plug into the port and from there log into
a secure address on the USG™, see the port number that identifies that room and then you can add the port to the
USG’s port mapping table. This is a quick and easy way to identify the ports and takes out any guesswork on the
administrator.

In Room Port Mapping
The information enter for the room number becomes the
Location information in the Port Mapping List. This is the
identifier that is sent to the PMS so it must match what
the PMS has to identify the room. For example, if the
PMS identifies room 1 as 001, then 001 should be
entered as the room number. You will also need to select
the access mode for the room. Click Submit to save your
changes.

In Room Port Mapping
Enter a location identifier in the Location field.
Locations can be assigned as an
alpha, numeric, or alpha-numeric value unless
a PMS interface is used (see
notes).
In the Port field, enter the port (the VLAN
ID when using 802.1Q 2-way).

WFB 2-way Troubleshooting
• Serial port needs to be set as 7 Data bits, 2 stop bits, odd Parity.
• When WFB server first boots and connects to NSE it will do a
Data Dump that might take some time. Need to check the PMS
server to verify that the Data Dump has completed.
• Verify how the expiration date is entered into the PMS server
and match the format in the verification page.
• Check the WFB PMS Logs for all the communication back and
forth to verify that the correct messages are traveling between
the two systems.
• Check the billing plan being used to be sure what form the
POST should be.

PMS charges
• PMS posting are stored into the Transact.dat
file in the flash.
