Configuring Device Areas

Device Areas are specific areas or locations on your property where assigned RFID key encoders and EMV PIN Entry devices are located. You can create Device Areas, copy them to respective properties, and then assign each RFID key encoder or EMV PED to a respective device area. When processing payment or encoding a room key, you can use Device Area as a filter, so it is much easier to find the devices assigned to that area.

Adding Device Areas

  1. From the Administration menu, select Interfaces, and then select Device Areas.

    Note:

    When the OPERA Multi-property Cross Reservation Cloud Service is active, new Device Areas are created by selecting the Template tab. Once created, you can copy locators to specific properties using the Copy action. Refer to Copying Configuration Codes to Multiple Properties for more information.

  2. Click New and complete the following fields:

    1. Property. Enter or search for and select a property for the device area.

    2. Code. Enter a code that briefly describes the device area (for example, FD for front desk, HL for hall, LBBY for lobby, PL for pool, CF for club floor, VIP for VIP lounge, and so on).

    3. Description. Enter a description of the device area (for example, front desk, hall area, lobby area, pool, club floor, VIP lounge, and so on).

    4. Manage Translations. (Available when the Multi Language function under the General group is active.) Select to open the multi-language descriptions screen and configure a language translation for the description.

    5. Sequence. Enter a number that controls the position of this code in listings. Codes without a sequence number assigned are listed in alphabetical order following codes with a sequence assigned. 

  3. Click Save.
