Room Data Image
The Room Data Image feature provides a means for sending and receiving the 
set of pertinent status items for a particular RSN to or from each system (the PMS

exchange” about the other system’s status and do not imply that status...

Operational Considerations
Process codes 1 and 2 are used in the informational exchange mode. The PMS 
will request status items from the switch by sending process code 1; the switch 
will reply with pertinent data by returning process code 2. Process code 1 does 
not imply or dictate any status change to the receiving...

PMS Considerations for Process Code 3
Process code 3 sent from the PMS and the associated process code 4 sent from 
the switch constitutes an individual “room database exchange” for the purpose of 
updating a database after a detected failure.
Process code 3 provides a way for the PMS to send the switch the current valid...
