8400B+ data module

[quikster2004]

I am having issues getting an 8400B+ data module to work. When connected to the pbx it shows idle. When connected to the pms system the interface never comes up. I have ran looped back through the 9 pin cable out of the back of the data module to the pms system and their port is good. This seeme to be an issue with the data module. I have three data modules on site and am getting same thing on all of them. I am starting to believe I do not have the proper strings loaded for the data module to run a pms interface. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Installing the System
Connecting the Hospitality Adjuncts 56 8400B Options

The options on the 8400B must be set using an ASCII data terminal or a PC using
a terminal emulation package. You must connect the data terminal or PC to the
EIA interface connector on the back of the 8400B. For the switch-to-PMS link, a
subset of options must be changed. These options are changed using the AT
command set. Use the following steps to set the options on the 8400B:

1. Set the speed on the data terminal or terminal emulation package to match
the speed of the PMS link. By doing this, the speed on the 8400B will
autobaud to match the correct speed.

2. From the data terminal or PC, type at . This automatically sets the
speed and parity for the connection. The OK prompt should display.

3. Type the following commands as shown. (The character 0 is the number
zero.) Before you press for each command, make sure that the
command has been entered correctly. The e0 option on the last command
turns off keyboard echo, which means that after you enter this command,
any future keyboard entries will not be displayed, and the OK prompt is not
displayed.
at&f (the OK prompt displays)
ats24=1 (the OK prompt displays)
at&c1&d2&s1s0=1 (the OK prompt displays)
ate0q1&w0&y0&v
The &v portion of the last command displays the current set of options.
Your screen should look something like this:

4. Disconnect the data terminal or PC from the 8400B.

5. Reconnect the unit as shown in Figure 18.

6. Cycle power on the 8400B (disconnect the line cord momentarily).
If your PMS requires a different set of options, consult the 8400B Plus Data
Module User’s Guide.
