Understanding How Digital Integration Works - Panasonic KX-TVS100 Quick Installation Manual

The KX-TVS100 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-TVS100 is already set up to communicate through Digital Integration.

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. For example, you
can connect jack 15 of the KX-TD1232 to Port 1 of the Voice Mail with a four-wire connection (see diagram
below). This connection creates two Voice Mail extensions and can simultaneously answer two calls. This
means that a fully-configured four-port system requires only two jacks from
the PBX.
Communication between the VPS and the PBX through Digital Integration requires the proper software level in
the PBX and four-wire connections for each port. Also, the PBX and VPS must be programmed to work with
each other.
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 recognize what a caller wants to do. This communication allows features that are only
available with Digital Integration, several of which are described below.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
The VPS knows what extension numbers exist on the PBX and
creates mailboxes for each extension automatically.
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.
The VPS asks the caller for the password; the caller does not have to
dial the mailbox number.
Callers can page subscribers through built-in speakers and external
paging equipment.
