Configure IP Connectivity

Depending on your system setup, you configure NuPoint UM in one of the following modes:

• Client mode: configure the NuPoint UM system in this mode if your PMS system is set up to listen for incoming connections. (Use this mode when using Precidia serial-to-IP converter.)

• Server mode: configure the NuPoint UM system in this mode if your PMS system needs to connect to the voice mail system.  

Note:  If you are using a serial-to-IP converter, you must configure PMS iPocket solutions with NuPoint UM in IP PMS Server Mode.

Configuring Client Mode

Before you begin, ensure that:

• the PMS system has a valid IP address for the IP network, and is programmed to listen on a local PMS TCP port

• the Precidia iPocket (if required) is programmed with the correct IP address and port

To configure NuPoint UM in client mode:

1. From the navigation tree, click Offline Configuration > Edit Offline Configuration. The Offline Configuration navigation tree opens.

2. When prompted to Duplicate Active Configuration, click Yes.

3. In the navigation tree, click External Applications and select the IP port (1,2,3, or 4) to configure.

4. In the Application list, select the appropriate PMS Integration type for your system.

5. In the Connection Mode list, select Client.

6. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the remote PMS system, OR the Precidia iPocket232 if used.

7. In the Server Port Number field, enter the remote PMS port number, OR the virtual port number you configured as the local and remote port number when configuring the Precidia iPocket232.

8. Click Save.

9. In the navigation tree, select Commit Changes and Exit. Confirm the commit. Your changes are now saved to the duplicate (inactive) configuration. Configuration changes will not take effect until you have activated the inactive configuration.

10. The PMS administrator must program the PMS system to connect to the NuPoint system at the NuPoint UM IP Address on the PMS TCP port.

11. You can now configure PMS integration options (see Related Topics) that will change NuPoint Mailbox states when PMS check-in/check-out messages are received.

After the PMS system connects, messages are exchanged between NuPoint UM and the PMS system to perform PMS-related actions.

Configuring Server Mode

Before you begin, ensure that:

• the PMS system has a valid IP address for the IP network, and is set up to connect to a remote IP address and port on the NuPoint UM system

• NuPoint UM is connected to the IP network and configured with a valid IP address in MSL

• all integration components are licensed and installed

To configure NuPoint UM in server mode:

1. From the navigation tree, click Offline Configuration > Edit Offline Configuration. The Offline Configuration navigation tree opens.

2. When prompted to Duplicate Active Configuration, click Yes.

3. In the navigation tree, click External Applications and select the IP port (1,2,3, or 4) to configure.

4. In the Application list, select the appropriate integration type (Hyatt, EECO or HIS).

5. In the Connection Mode list, ensure that Server is selected.

6. In the Server Port Number field, enter the port number to use as the PMS TCP port.

7. Click Save.

8. In the navigation tree, select Commit Changes and Exit. Confirm the commit. Your changes are now saved to the duplicate (inactive) configuration. Configuration changes will not take effect until you have activated the inactive configuration.

9. The PMS administrator must program the PMS system to connect to the NuPoint system at the NuPoint UM IP Address on the PMS TCP port.

10. You can now configure PMS integration options (see Related Topics) that will change NuPoint Mailbox states when PMS check-in/check-out messages are received.

After the PMS system connects, messages are exchanged between NuPoint UM and the PMS system to perform PMS-related actions.
