The Pay TV page is used to specify settings to interface with third party Pay TV systems. Additional interface software must be installed to interface with third party systems. Contact your vendor for an up-to-date list of supported systems. Pay TV interfaces are used to post charges for viewed movies, played games, internet access and so on. The system can also be used for bill viewing, express check-outs, changing the clean/dirty status of a room, sending messages and wake-up calls.
Interfaces are installed and tested by your vendor, preferably together with the vendor of the system that has to be interfaced. Do not change any of the interface parameters. Changing a parameter may cause an interface to stop working properly, which may result in loss of revenue!
Choose Preferences from the Setup menu. Then open the Pay TV tab page.

Synchronize interface status |
Do not enable! If enabled, Amadeus - PMPRO will send the hotel status (rooms checked IN or OUT) to the third party system when choosing Synchronize Interfaces from the Tools menu. This will cause the PayTV to receive a check in message again and the TV will switch on! This causes problems with the guests when executed at night because the TV will switch on with the welcome message! |
