This guide assumes you have already installed Altitude Direct.
Setting up Atlas
With your Dormakaba/Atlas representative ensure the Web Services are enabled on the local installation. These web services allow Altitude Direct to connect.
Configuring Altitude Direct
The default access URL for the local web service is: http://localhost/ATLASKLIWS123/MessengerPMSService.asmx
The default Username: DummyUser and password: DummyPwd
Testing the Connection
To test the connection click the "Test Connection" button; which will trigger a Hello World command to the Web Service, if it shows a Green message box the connection is successful.
Next to confirm the Username and Password a Key should be encoded.
Where there is no access to the encoder you can test using a Virtual encoder. Set this up in Altitude (typically ID 10)
Find a reservation and try to encode the Key card.
Inside the Atlas Transaction Log the encoder should have been trigger by "ALT" (the virtual encoder needs to be reviewed here, otherwise a physical key can be checked)
Debugging
Possible issues can be:
Incorrect host name
Incorrect username/password
If the "Hello world" test doesn't work then the Web Service is not operating correctly.
