Chapter 7 Billing Profiles and PMS Configuration

Many hotels use a PMS device to perform in-room billing for services (such as room service, 
mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone) that the guests use. 

With PMS, the VSG allows subscribers to purchase additional time units online. In addition, 
subscribers can select from a number of different billing plans.

To use PMS for billing, first connect the VSG to a PMS device using the PMS port (refer to 

), then configure the PMS 

settings on the VSG. 

When you activate port-location mapping and PMS on the VSG, two charge modes are 
available: per room and per subscriber.
