Configure the connection type

The connection type determines whether the DV2000/DV4 and the PMS connect over a serial link or a TCP/IP network link (and, if the latter, whether the PMS or the VMS hosts the connection).

To configure the connection type, follow these steps:

1.  Using Activity Monitor, stop the voice mail service.

2.  Run the System Configuration application and select Features | Hospitality.

3.  If prompted, select the PMS instance (as shown below).  This dialog is only displayed if you are licensed for more than one PMS instance.  Otherwise, skip to step 4.

4.  Select the PMS property page (in the tree view on the left).

5.  In the section PMS Server, use the Connection type drop-down list box to select the connection type.

Note: If the selected protocol can only be supported over a single connection type, that type may be auto-selected for you and this setting will be disabled so that you cannot change it.  For example, the DV2000/DV4 only supports using the Oracle Opera protocol over a TCP/IP connection where the Opera is the server, so this setting is auto-set to TCP Client.

6.  Click Apply to save the setting without closing the dialog.

7.  If you are finished configuring hospitality settings, click OK to save and close the dialog.

8.  Once you are finished with all configuration changes, close System Configuration.

9.  Using Activity Monitor, restart the voice mail service.
