CHAPTER 1 ASICS EFORE OING TO THE WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO OICE ROCESSING The VPS handles incoming and outgoing calls. When a call comes in, it answers, forwards to appropriate extensions, takes and stores messages, and notifies subscribers when messages are left. Subscribers may send and transfer messages to other subscribers within the system.
VPS L IMITATIONS The KX-TVS100 does not support: Fax-on-demand Some systems are connected to fax machines. Callers are offered the option of leaving a fax number; the information is then automatically faxed to that number.

We cannot guarantee adequate integration of the TVS100 with other PBX systems or with Key Systems. If the customer does not have one of the recommended Panasonic PBX systems, be sure that the system has the features listed in the following section.
Ports: extensions connected to VPS (2 ports—standard) extensions connected to VPS (4 ports—maximum) Voice Storage: The standard KX-TVS100 can store up to 4 hours; this cannot be expanded. ECOMMENDATIONS FOR YSTEM ONFIGURATION General guideline: a ratio of 6/1 (for every 6 lines, 1 CO board). There are two questions to ask when considering how many CO boards: 1.
Page 11
2. Discharge any body static by touching the grounding strap. (This protects the printed circuit board from static electricity.) 3. Refer to the manual for the optional CO card for further precautions and installation procedures. 1. Loosen the screw on the grounding strap. Then remove the strap from the unit. 2.
CHAPTER 2 NSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read the following precautions before installing the VPS. NSTALLATION The VPS can be installed on the floor or on the wall. Improper placement of the system may result in malfunction, noise, or discoloration. Avoid installing the VPS in the following places: •...
The VPS can be installed on the floor or on the wall. If mounting on the wall, be sure that the wall can support the weight of the VPS. Use the screws supplied with the system or use screws that are the same in diameter. 1.

2. Drill three holes and hammer in anchor plugs until they are flush with the wall. Concrete To Wall Surface Wall Anchor Plug 1/4 inch 1 1/8 inch 3. Install three screws into the anchor plugs. Drive the screw to this position.
CONNECTIONS PBX E ONNECTING XTENSIONS The VPS must be connected to the PBX extensions before starting the system. Up to four extensions can be connected to the VPS. Each PBX extension is inserted into the modular jack on the CO card. 1.
To use D-PITS Integration, Port 1 of the VPS must be connected to the lowest number jack assigned as a VPS extension. When D-PITS Integration is activated, a single extension jack provides two single-line interfaces to the CO card on the VPS. For example, only connect one line cord (4 wire) to Port 1 on the VPS.

ORKS To the Panasonic KX-TD digital PBX, the VPS ports look like digital extensions. The PBX thinks that the VPS is a digital phone, and the VPS mimics all actions of a digital set. Another advantage of Digital Integration is that the 2B+D communication provides two Voice Mail ports for each Digital Station port.
The KX-TVS100 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 starting up the KX-TVS100 for the first time.
Step 2 From the System-Prg No. ? screen: 1. Enter [116]. 2. Press the NEXT button (sp-phone). 3. Enter the system number ([0] or [1], master/slave). The system displays the ROM version and date it was created. This version must be P101A with a date of 05-08-95 or later for Digital Integration to be utilized (both systems if system connection is used).
4. Enter the extension number that you want this port to have. (The default extension number for port 1: 165; port 2: 166 ...) 5. Press STORE. 6. Repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5 until all extension numbers are entered. Conditions: No two jacks on the system can have the same extension number.
COMMON DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES AND SETUP PROCEDURES (LCS) P CREENING ROGRAMMING LCS notifies subscribers of incoming messages to their mailboxes. The notification method is programmable for hands-free or private. Hands-free allows the user to monitor a recording through the speaker-phone and, if desired, intercept the call by lifting the handset.
CREENING UTTON SSIGNMENT For the Live Call Screening feature to work at an extension, the extension must have an LCS button on it and the button must be lit at the time of the message. This key must be either a DSS/BLF or CO key (must have a lamp).
3. Dial any password of three digits ([000] - [999]) twice. You will hear a confirmation tone, then a dialtone. Screen Output: The three-digit password you entered is displayed. CREENING ASSWORD ANCELING To cancel the password, follow the procedure below. (It is not necessary to enter PITS Programming to activate this feature).
6. To exit the Station Programming mode, press the PROGRAM button or lift the handset. 7. Repeat these steps for each telephone. Conditions: This button must be a CO or DSS/BLF button to be programmed as a TWR button. When all Voice Mail ports are busy and this key is pressed, the user will hear reorder tone. RANSFER INTO AILBOX This feature allows an extension user to record a conversation into another user’s mailbox by pressing the Two-...
YMMDD). In this example, the date code is May 8, 1995 (year, month, day). For Digital Integration, the software production date of the PBX must be May 8, 1995, or later. If the software production date of the PBX is earlier than this, call Panasonic Parts Center (MSC) about an upgrade: 1-800- 833-9626.

NTEGRATION IS MPORTANT The KX-TVS100 works well with most PBXs because its connections are made through a standard single-line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the VPS operation depends on the capabilities and features provided by the PBX; its performance will vary when connected with different PBX systems. For example, Follow-on (or Called Party) ID is a feature of the PBX.
PBX R EQUIREMENTS FOR NTEGRATION The PBX must have certain capabilities and features to work with the VPS. (Although this section includes tests to help you evaluate the PBX, it may be necessary to refer to the PBX’s documentation for detailed capability and feature descriptions.) •...

3. Checks to see if the called subscriber is in, out, or on another line, and whether or not that subscriber accepts the transfer. 4. Completes the transfer (by going on-hook) or returns to the caller to say that the party is busy or not available.
Integration Mode: Specifies the method of integration to be used between the VPS and PBX. If PBX type is set to Panasonic KX-T series, the inband signaling parameters are set automatically and should not be altered. D-PITS integration is only available when a KX-TD series PBX is connected.

April 30, 1994 (year, month, day). For this software version, the software production date of the VPS must be April 30, 1994, or later. If the software production date of the PBX is earlier than the 4/30/94, call Panasonic Parts Center (MSC) for an upgrade: 1-800-833- 9626.
Page 40
This parameter is used to tell the KX-T123211D which extensions are connected to the VPS. Ports with this parameter enabled can receive Follow-on ID and DTMF call status signaling (busy, answered, disconnect, etc.) if the Voice Mail integration and DTMF integration features are also enabled. Step 3 Enable PITS programming code 81 to turn on DTMF Integration.
Page 41
Delayed Ringing Assignment—To give users time to answer the call before the VPS picks up, we recommend setting the delay to three or four rings for each extension connected to the KX-TVS100. Use PITS programs 49 (Day Mode) and 50 (Night Mode).
Step 3. Step 3 Make each extension that is connected to the KX-TVS100 a Voice Mail port. Up to 16 Voice Mail ports can be assigned on the KX-T336. A. At the PRG> prompt, type [VMD AT 01] and press ENTER.

Don’t exit the dumb terminal mode yet. You will need to use it for Step 4. Step 4 Set the Follow-on ID sequence for every extension that will have a mailbox on the KX-TVS100. By sending an extension’s Follow-on ID sequence to the KX-TVS100 port before connecting the caller, the KX-T336 transfers unanswered calls directly to that extension’s voice mailbox.

PORT SETTING OPTIONS Design each system to suit the needs of the customer. You should be familiar with all options for port assignment so that customers get exactly what they need and expect. Each port can be assigned as Voice Mail, Interview Service, Automated Attendant, or Custom Service. Custom Service is the most flexible of all the services because it allows access to the other services by pressing one key.
Remember that it is possible and often necessary to have one custom service lead to another custom service. For example, if someone presses [1] for sales, you might want another menu to say “for new car sales, press [1]; for used car sales, press [2].” This way callers are routed directly to the person best suited to handle them. USTOM ERVICE ROGRAMMING...
Call Transfer Any Time Ext/Mbx/No Specifies where a caller is (Ext) transferred when dialing an extension or mailbox number during the menu. If this entry is set to Extension, the caller is transferred to the corresponding extension. If it is set to Mailbox, the caller is sent directly to the greeting of the corresponding mailbox.
Once you have finished entering the parameters in each menu, the menu messages should be recorded. Menu messages tell the caller what options are available and what keys correspond to those options. For this reason the prompts must match the programming that has been input. Step 1.
