2.8.2 POS Interface
For properties that wish to use keycards to post charges for restaurants, boutiques and
other amenities to a guest's account, or to track the use of parking by guests, a special
model of FDU with a triple-track encoder is available. In addition to encoding the
encrypted keycard code that works with the locks on other tracks, POS Interface FDUs
with triple-track encoders use track 2 to encode information in the worldwide ABA
standard that is used on bankcards and credit cards. Point-of-Sale readers in cash registers
or other equipment that use the ABA standard format can read this information from
track 2 to post charges automatically to the room account over a network. The data used
to post charges (e.g. the guest’s folio number) can be either entered manually, or
transferred automatically
from the PMS when encoding the keycard.
