Micros requirements

Requirements include the version of Niagara supported and platform licensing requirements. The PMS system must also be configured.

Systems Integrator requirements

The procedures in this document assume that you:

  • Are Niagara certified and experienced at configuring stations.

Platform prerequisites

The Micros driver requires a Niagara 4 platform. The Micros driver only supports an IP connection to the PMS server.

Version of Niagara

The Micros driver requires Niagara 4.1 or later.

Licensing requirements

  • The microsFidelio feature must be present in your Niagara station license.
  • Attributes associated with the microsFidelio feature are listed below:
  • The guest.data or room.rights attributes must be set to true to retrieve these extra details for each point. Typically they would be present as the intention of licensing is to allow disabling where privacy concerns might exist having guest identifying data within the PMS system.
Attribute Description
device.limit This attribute is common to most Niagara features and it defines the maximum number of devices that can be connected to this driver. It is unused in this driver.
guest.data This attribute enables or disables the collection of extra guest data.
history.limit This attribute is common to most Niagara features and it defines the maximum number of histories that can be used for this feature. It is unused in this driver.
point.limit This attribute is common to most Niagara features and it defines the maximum number of points used on this feature.
room.rights This attribute enables or disables the collection of Room Rights data (Minibar and TV).
schedule.limit This attribute is common to most Niagara features and it defines the maximum number of schedules used on this feature. It is unused in this driver.

PMS Server configuration

The Micros driver connects via an IFC8 Interface Server. IFC8 is an Interface Server which is a gateway to the PMS (Suite8, Opera, 3rd Party).

  • You may require a Micros engineer to visit the site to install and activate the IFC8 Interface Server.
  • The minimum IFC8 Version is 7, as earlier versions did not support TCP/IP.
