INN-FORM/XL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
(1)  Pin connections to the remote port of the INN-FORM XL.

	Note: the "T" "C" switch will reverse (NULL) Transmit/Receive on     	#2,#3 of the remote port. It will configure the port as "DCE" or 	"DTE" If the cable plugged into the report is connected to an 		active com port the transmit signal from the remote device will 	cause the green LED next to the switch to light the XL will 		transmit on the opposite pin.
        
	Switch on "C" (DCE)		Switch on "T" (DTE)
	pin #2 = recieve		pin #2 = transmit
	pin #3 = transmit 		pin #3 = recieve
	pin #7 is signal ground		pin #7 = signal ground
	pin #20 is DTR			pin # 20 = DTR
	(usually not connected)		(usually not connected)
                         

(2) Checking the remote port on an INN-FORM/XL PMS System.
          
       Using the call accounting system connections, plug
       the connector marked "Printer" into the remote port.
       With the "T" "C" switch on the back of the system in
       the "T" position. The green light on the back of the
       Unit should go on.       
                         
       On the INN-FORM/XL PMS systems that use ACK/NAK protocol if
       both pieces of equipment are connected and communicating
       correctly the call accounting will print a one line call record
       to the printer. If the property management system is not
       responding, the call accounting will print a 3 to 4 line chit
       including all the call record information.
          
(3) Can the remote port going to the property management
    system be at a different baud rate than the baud rate set
    up between the switch, the call accounting system and the
    printer?
          
      A different baud rate on the remote port is not
      possible on the old systems. Release 12.723 and
      below are considered older systems.
          
      On the new systems with a release number of 12.8 and
      above, it is possible to enter a baud factor that
      tells the unit the baud rate of the remote and
      printer ports when they are different.
      See page IV-10 in the manual for the chart that shows
      baud factors representing possible baud rate combinations.
          
(4) The INN-FORM/XL PMS is beeping. The display does not say;
    "Fix Printer". When the reset button is pressed the
    beeping stops and the system works for a while.  Later the
    beeping starts again. The printer is fine and the
    property management system is receiving call record
    information except when the system beeps.
     
    Check the connection to the property management
    system. If pin #20 is connected from the call
    accounting system, disconnect it.  The pin #20
    connection could be pulling the call accounting
    system's pin #20 low and causing it to go into alarm.
          
(5) If the property management system requires a hardware
    handshake the suggested handshake for a standard RS232
    connector is pins 4-5 and pins 6-8-20. Is is suggested 
    the Property management vendor be contacted before
    installing the above straps.
