Systems Integrator requirements
The procedures in this document assume that you:

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.

Licensing requirements
- The microsFidelio feature must be present in your
Niagara station license.
- Attributes associated with the microsFidelio feature are listed below:

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.

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.
