The Data Link Interface allows the PMS to accommodate both front and back-office Hotel Management
Features, by providing a means of communication between the PMS and the PBX for features such as
Check In/Check Out, Message Waiting, Station Message Detail Data, and control features such as Do
Not Disturb and Room Cutoff.
