Communications with Property
Management Systems
DEFINITY ECS exchanges guest status information (room number, call coverage
path, etc.) with the property management system. There are two ways that the
guest data can be encoded:
■ Using a combination of Binary Coded Decimal encoding and the ASCII
character set
■ Using only the ASCII character set
As an additional GuestWorks enhancement, DEFINITY ECS can now use the
newly preferred ASCII message set in addition to the mixed BCD/ASCII message
set. In this way DEFINITY ECS is compatible with a wide range of property
management systems: established systems that use a combination, and new
systems that exclusively use ASCII.
