Adding a Suites Interface in Simphony

  1. From the EMC, select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click Interfaces.
  2. Insert a new interface record named Suites, and then double-click the record to open it.
  3. From the General tab, enter Suites for the Communication Name, select 0 - PMS/SIM as the Interface Type, and then select 1 - TCP as the Communication Type.
  4. From the Options tab:
    1. Select the following options:
      • 1 - Use 19 Digit Reference Entry for PMS Inquiries

      • 2 - Enable Interface Log

      • 3 - Allow Inquiry without Sign-In

    The service host must be able to connect to the TCP Host Name and Port Number defined from the Options tab.
