4.1 Guidelines for APT/DPT Integration

4.1.1 What is APT/DPT Integration?

In order for the VPS to function, it must be integrated with the PBX it serves. The type of integration that is
used determines how voice (caller messages, VPS prompts, etc.) and data (extension status, button presses,
etc.) are sent between the VPS and the PBX.
Unlike Inband Integration, when the VPS and PBX use APT or DPT Integration, information is sent between
the PBX and VPS digitally. This allows the VPS to respond quickly and efficiently.
Additionally, configuring a Panasonic PBX for APT or DPT Integration is generally much easier than configuring
a PBX for Inband Integration.

4.1.2 When to Use APT/DPT Integration

The type of PBX and/or the type of extension cards installed in the PBX will determine whether APT or DPT
Integration can be used. See 1.1.7 Compatible PBXs for more information.
4.1.3 APT/DPT Integration Features
During APT/DPT Integration, the PBX sends information to the VPS which lets the VPS know from where and
why a call is sent to the VPS, and identifies the extension or outside caller that is calling. This communication
allows features that are only available with APT/DPT Integration, described below:

92 Installation Manual
The VPS knows what extension names/numbers exist on
the PBX and creates mailboxes for each extension auto-
matically. Also sets the VPS clock with data from the PBX
clock.
Subscribers can access their mailboxes without dialling
their mailbox numbers.
The VPS automatically sends calls from preprogrammed
*2
Caller ID numbers to the specified extension, mailbox, or
Custom Service.
When the VPS transfers a call to an extension, the VPS
announces the prerecorded name of the caller, allowing
the extension user to know who is calling.
The VPS announces the prerecorded caller name when:
(1) extension users listen to messages from assigned
*2
numbers left in their mailboxes, (2) the VPS transfers calls
from assigned numbers to the users, and (3) the VPS pa-
ges the users by intercom.
If the same Caller ID number is programmed for both Sys-
tem and Personal Caller Name Announcements, the VPS
will use the personal caller name.
