Error type 769: There has been no communication between the switch and the PMS for a period of time specified in “system hospitality” administration. The PMS Link is torn down. To clear this error, see Procedures for Restoring the PMS Link.

Error type 1025: The link was taken down because the switch could not receive an incoming message from the PMS. The message from the PMS repeatedly had corrupted data or the switch received requests for acknowledgment but never received a message to be processed. If this Error Type occurs frequently (more than once a month), advise the customer to call the vendor of the PMS to check out the PMS device. Once the PMS Link is successfully established, this error disappears from the Error Log.

Error type 1281: The link was taken down because the switch could not send an outgoing message. The message, which was sent but not acknowledged, was flushed. If this Error Type occurs frequently (more than once a month), advise the customer to call the vendor of the PMS to check out the PMS device.

Error type 2305: The PMS Link was busied out with busyout pms-link, or it was brought down with test pms-link long. The PMS Link is torn down, and PMS Link maintenance stops attempts to reestablish the link in the case where the busyout pms-link was used. When test pms-link long has been used, PMS Link maintenance continues trying to reset the link. To restore the PMS Link after use a busyout pms-link, enter release pms-link. To restore the PMS Link after a test pms-link long, enter test pms-link.

Error type 2561: The PMS Link is physically established, but the protocol has not been started by the PMS before the protocol timer expires. The PMS Link is NOT torn down. If this Error Type occurs frequently (more than once a month), advise the customer to call the vendor of the PMS to check out the PMS device. Once the PMS Link is successfully established, this error disappears from the Error Log.
