That it is necessary to have for setup

For setup and settings of UTS Access it is necessary to know your PID numbers.  

PID is the unique identifier (4-5 digits) for access to the airline  resources in the Gabriel system. Obtaining and configuration PID are made  by the appropriate airline office. PID which are configured for TCP/IP and X.25 protocols can work in the UTS Access program. PID for operation with 1024 protocol (SITA leased lines) can not work in the UTS Access. Type COMS:ASCU PID XXXX command for define accessory PID to protocols 1024 or TCP/IP. If you receive the answer: ENTRY NOT FOUND then that PID is configured for X.25 or TCP/IP protocols. If you have received other answer from Gabriel (with the description of PID parameters) then it means that PID is configured for protocol 1024c.

Add new session

New button in Sessions page

Click on New button in Sessions page. Enter PID number and session options for this PID.

 

Depending on selected Session Type it is necessary to define different parameters of sessions.

Terminal session is Gabriel booking screen. For this session UVTC PID type is necessary. Terminal type needs for booking operation in the terminal mode. From this session sends commands for obtaining of the information for the schedule, places presence, booking and etc. Terminal Sessions admit a keyboard input. PRN sessions does not admit a keyboard input.

PRN is session for Gabriel SYSTEM PRINTER device  (HARDCOPY). For this session UVTP PID type is necessary. Session of PRN type services the Gabriel system printer. PRN session receives messages from Gabriel and are printed out to the Windows printer. As a rule, it are ZZ messages, PNR text, the Gabriel queues messages. PRN PID  is associated with terminal PID by airlines configuration office. Link of several terminal sessions with one printer session is admitted. Type the Gabriel DA command from the terminal session and you receive link of terminal PID with  printer PID.

 ATB, BP1, BP2, BTP printers for PCPCM session

For PCPCM session in session list of the main Sessions page, select session and click on Edit button. Then select ATB or BP1/BP2/BTP page in window Session settings.

ATB(Automated Ticketing/Boarding), BP1(Boarding Pass printer One), BP2(Boarding Pass printer Two) or BTP(Bag Tag Printer) printers are used for print out air tickets, flight coupons, boardings pass or baggage receipts. These printers uses Parametric Table (Pectab). Coordinate with the application to determine the proper Pectab. DCS allows customization of Pectabs. Ticketing Pectabs will be a standard format. The following are standard Ticketing Pectab formats.

A1 ATB IATA 722C PTAB W/MAG - 1LN FOP-OPATB 155

A2 ATB IATA 722C PTAB W/MAG - 2LN FOP-OPATB 155

B1 ATB IATA 722C PTAB W/MAG - 1LN FOP - ALN 155

B2 ATB IATA 722C PTAB W/MAG - 2LN FOP - ALN 155

D1 ATB ITINERARY/MAILING ADDRESS CARD 96

E1 ATB IATA 722C MAG ONLY - VERSION A 52

The pectab table downloads from PC to the printer at the UTS session open time and manages ticket printing. The printers connects to PC through serial port(COM port). For work with printer it is necassary to define COM port parameters, start of text(STX) and end of text(ETX) values for message exchange between PC and printer. The items on this table (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity, Flow Control) should be set to match the printer. Some printers have the ability to dump their configurations. In other printers, these settings are controlled by the dip switch settings. Refer to the printer manufactures manual to determine these values.

Form fieldComments
Com Port Select COM port
Bits per second Select baud rate for exchange between PC and printer
Bits Enter data bits
Parity Enter parity option
Stop bits Select stop bits
Flow controls Select Flow control mode
