4.1.1 Why Digital Integration is Important

The KX-TVS75/100/200 works well with most PBXs because its connections are made
through a standard single line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the communication
between the PBX and VPS is best when Digital Integration is used; the KX-TVS75/100/200 is
already set up to communicate through Digital Integration.
Once Digital Integration is established, the PBX sends information to the VPS through the data
link. This information enables the VPS to identify the extension that is calling, know where a
call is forwarded and why it's forwarded, and recognizes what the caller wants to do. This
communication allows features that are only available with Digital Integration, several of
which are described below.
Auto Configuration
Live Call Screening
Two-Way Recording
Two-Way Transfer
Direct Mailbox Access
Intercom Paging
The KX-TVS75/100/200 System comes from the factory already set up for a KX- TD1232
PBX. When the power is turned on for the first time, the VPS will try to communicate with the
KX-TD1232 through Digital Integration. For this reason, several things should be done before
operating for the first time.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
The VPS knows what extension numbers exist on the
PBX and creates mailboxes for each extension
automatically. Also sets the VPS clock with data from
the PBX clock.
Extension users can monitor messages as they are
being left in the mailbox and intercept if required.
Extension users can record conversations in their own
mailboxes by pressing one button.
Extension users can record conversations in another
mailbox by pressing a button and dialing an extension.
The subscriber is entered directly into his mailbox
when he calls the VPS. He does not have to dial his
mailbox number.
Callers can page subscribers through built-in speakers
and external paging equipment.
