About

      • This interface connects Bepoz with the Opera Property Management System via a direct TCP connection utilizing the Bepoz gateway - Reslink
      • Bepoz has an existing interface to Opera via Reslink, however, functional requirements dictate the requirement to further enhance the integration for the purpose of retrieving additional guest data such as arrival date, departure date, and other definable fields as well as retrieving member details if they are a KCMS (Konami) loyalty member
      • The Opera interface is implemented utilizing the Bepoz Reslink Gateway
        • This gateway will act as the direct communications from each Bepoz POS back to the Opera system
      • Each Venue will require the Reslink gateway to be configured and be running within the environment and requires all POS in the environment to be able to connect to the Reslink Gateway on a specified port
      • The Reslink Gateway will connect to a local instance of the Opera PMS Gateway at each Venue
      • The FIAS TransQ will send non-room revenue to Opera if required

      Key Features

      BackOffice & Reslink Setup

        • Within Reslink, there are multiple configurations required to get the interface to work successfully with some user-defined options that primarily affect reporting on the PMS side
          • As Opera is RMS based, Reslink (Bepoz PMS Gateway) needs to be configured to communicate with the PMS gateway
          • Once the RMS server is configured, certain BackOffice setups must be configured before operators can finally use it in SmartPOS
        • Within Venue Maintenance, on the "External Links" tab and in the "Room Charge Link Options" section, the standard setups prior to the enhancement of the interface are still required such as IP, Port, etc. with the addition of further controls to support the added functionality
        • To access the Opera PMS guest information on SmartPOS, the respective Till Functions must first be set up in BackOffice
          • To enable the use of the user-definable and GA / GD fields, adjust the Till Function Map button used to charge/inquire against Opera PMS
          • The standard Reslink Charge function can be used to perform Charges, Inquiries and Custom Data lookups
          • This can be found in the Tender & Payment Functions and is called ResLink (PMS) Charge

        SmartPOS Functionality
