1 | Kinetics Interface Setup
This article covers the configuration guide for RMSServer.exe in Bepoz. The Kinetics property management system (UK) is interfaced the same as the RMS System. Typically Reslink.exe communicates with these systems; however, as Kinetics uses Web Services for communications, it must reside within RMSServer.exe. The RMSServer.exe is configured in Bepoz as if it was Reslink.exe. In other words, it directly replaces Reslink.exe in these venues.

The Kinetics property management system (UK) is interfaced the same as the RMS System. Typically Reslink.exe communicates with these systems; however, as Kinetics uses Web Services for communications, it must reside within RMSServer.exe. The RMSServer.exe is configured in Bepoz as if it was Reslink.exe. In other words, it directly replaces Reslink.exe in these venues.
Therefore, setup Bepoz and the Tills as if it were using Reslink. The RMS Server program uses a configuration file call RMSCONFIG.TXT located in the execute directory. It contains the setup information required by the Interface. This can be edited using notepad.exe.
Sample RMSCONFIG.TXT
- Interface,Kinetics
- RMSServerTCPPort,19850
- AREAID,0
- SITEID,0
- URL,http://www.kxonline.co.uk/WebServices/KxEPOS.asmx
- The AreaID and SiteID should all be supplied by Kinetics.
- The URL is optional and the default is shown above. If a different URL is to be used, set it here.
- The Interface will send a separate charge for each Sort/Type/SortGroup/TypeGroup as per the 'Item Totals' setting in Room Charge Link Option in the Venue Record.
- These Separate charges will have a Charge ID sent to Kineteics as per below:
- SortGroup or TypeGroup 1-8 : "1" to "8"Sort or Type 1-16 : "1" to "16"
- Sort or Type 17-30 : "16" (Room charge only ever sends first 16 charge codes)
- TIPS : "20"
- Service Charge : "21"
- So, Basically, Kinetics must have mappings for Charge IDs 1-16 and 20,21
