Troubleshooting for all computers
- Ensure the PMS URL is accessible from the register computer. You can find your PMS URL from the Admin > Account Management > Interface > Location > PMS menu.
- Copy the PMS URL, paste it into your browser, and attempt to go to the page. You should see a screen as follows:
- If you cannot see this screen, and instead see a 'Page cannot be displayed' message or the browser hangs when attempting to load the page, contact your IT administrator and have the Book4Time PMS Communications Service restarted.
This Windows system service is installed only on the server identified in the PMS URL. Have your IT administrator log into this server, and restart the service as follows: - After the service is restarted, check the PMS URL from the register computer again, if you still do not see the screen (previous) there may be an issue reaching the server from the register computer. Contact your local IT administrator to help resolve this issue.
- If the page loads, attempt to post a room charge again. Clear all browser history and cache if you are still unable to do so.
