Code Request API
for PoS and PMS
Systems
This section describes implementation of PoS access code requests using the Guest
Internet firmware API
The access code request API is implemented in GIS firmware so that PoS vendors can
include a screen button that prints a hotspot access code on the ticket printer for sale to
guests. The access code request API is implemented in all GIS firmware versions and is
available to PoS vendors and other systems integrators upon request. In order to
implement the API the network configuration must be made as shown below.
API Implementation with
the GIS-gateway
The GIS firmware includes a firewall from the DMZ to the private network to ensure
compliance of the PCI-DSS recommendations. The firewall prevents any DMZ public access
to the private subnet, which protects sensitive information stored in PoS computers. The
GIS-gateway has four LAN ports to connect DMZ devices.
Access Code Request API
Criteria:
Any computer can make an API request, however the API request must include the
password for CODES (not the password for ADMIN).
A computer in the DMZ can make a request directly to the gateway. A computer in the
private network can make a request only after the remote access box in the firewall menu
has been checked.
The API has three separate functions
- Generate one or more codes (up to the limit permitted by the gateway)
- List access codes available on the gateway with status of each
- Delete codes and remove from the database
