PMS Integration Testing
If you're looking for troubleshooting tests, please refer to this page here.
Overview
These tests are meant to be done during the DuVoice installation.
This process will involve several parties.
Required Parties
For troubleshooting:
DuVoice technician
PBX technician
PMS technician
Hospitality Integration
If there are any issues with the tests for the hospitality integration.
Then there is most likely a fault between the DuVoice server, and the PMS hospitality system.
Test Guest Caller-ID Update
There is a seperate connection between DuVoice and the PBX phone system, that doesn't rely on anything telephony related, called the PBX link.
Occasionally, this link could have errors, resulting and guest caller-id being outdated.
(Rather than this resulting of a fault in the link between DuVoice and the PMS).
Test Guest Check-In
Front desk staff will:
Create a check-in for the test-extension under a fake name.
Please wait a few seconds for the systems to process this.
View Test Guest Caller-ID Update
The test-helper will:
Call from the secondary-extension to the test-extension.
Will see the test-guest-name on the caller-id.
Hang up.
Test Guest Check-In
Front desk staff will:
Do a check-out for the test-extension.
Please wait a few seconds for the systems to process this.
View Test Guest Caller-ID Clear
The test-helper will:
Call from the secondary-extension to the test-extension.
See that the test-guest-name is no longer on the caller-id.
Hang up.
Room Status Code Updates
If the calls don't connect, then instead of a DuVoice to PMS connection issue, we most likely have a DuVoice to PBX connection issue.
If the housekeeping staff use a different method than what is listed below, please try the test below.
There are some sites where the codes are programmed on the PBX phone system rather than DuVoice.
So we will want to narrow down whether that is a PBX or DuVoice issue.
Recommended DuVoice method
The test-helper will:
Dial from test-extension to the DuVoice system using the programmed voicemail button or by dialing the DuVoice system’s number.
The DuVoice system will prompt that there are no new messages.
Dial the desired maid code (611, 612, 613, etc).
The DuVoice system will prompt ‘this option is complete’. (If this prompt doesn't play, hang up, and try dialing the code a little slower or faster).
Hang up.
Front desk staff will:
Confirm they saw the code update on their end.
