I want to connect Elastix to RoomMaster 2000 which is a hotel management system.
This comes with a External Posting Interface(EPI) which listens on a certain port.
This data is like serial data (Station Messaging Data Records) and is somewhat the same as CDR.
How do I port data from asterisk to EPI?
I allready have the format:
From their tech dep:
Sequence Number – should increment with each new record, but doesn’t matter to us.·
Charge Identifier – this will always be “TEL”.·
Date of Call – In MM/DD format.·
Extension Number – Origination point of call…usually room number. If not, extensions can be mapped to room numbers in our interface.·
Time of Call – Can be either time call was started or finished.·
Duration of Call – Length of call in minutes.·
Charge Amount – Currency symbol can be anything. If your system does not price the call, our interface can handle the pricing of the call.·
Phone Number – Digits dialed by the guest.·
Long Distance Indicator – “L” means the call was long distance. This helps us assign the correct billing code if the hotel wants to separate local vs. long distance calls.
