Setup of the RMS PABX Controller Interface  
The PABX Controller module is used to control the enabling and disabling of the individual PABX room extensions of guest check in and check out.  
 
Under the setup menu – General Information – Modules, you will need to place a registration number as shown above. You can obtain this number from the RMS staff.  
   
This software currently only works with MPI and Logger PABX programs.
