Feature Highlights

Built-in Voice Message (BV) (Optional voice message card required)
Built-in Voice Message (BV) allows a caller to leave a voice message in a user's personal message area or
the PBX's common message area ( 1.15.7 Built-in Voice Message (BV)).
Fixed Line SMS Terminal Support (Optional Caller ID card required)
The PBX can relay incoming calls from a Short Message Service (SMS) centre to specific single line
telephones (SLTs) that support SMS. Fixed Line SMS is a service that allows text messages to be sent and
received via Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) access. We recommend using SMS-enabled
Panasonic SLTs ( 1.17.3 Fixed Line SMS Terminal Support).
Caller ID Display on SLT (Optional Caller ID card required)
The PBX can receive Caller ID information (telephone numbers and callers' names) from calls received on
outside (CO) lines. This information can be shown on the displays of SLTs that support Caller ID as well as
proprietary telephones (PTs) when receiving calls ( 1.16.1 Caller ID).
3-level Automated Attendant (AA)
3-level Automated Attendant (AA) service allows a caller to dial a single-digit number (Direct Inward System
Access [DISA] AA number) following the guidance of 3-level DISA outgoing messages (OGMs), and be
connected to the desired party automatically ( 1.15.6 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)).
Call Charge Calculation
The PBX can automatically calculate the approximate cost of calls and limit telephone usage to a
preprogrammed budget on each extension. This feature allows users to calculate the cost of a call based
on time, the leading digits of a phone number and/or the outside (CO) line carrying the call ( 1.20.2 Call
Charge Calculation).
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
The PBX (with an optional message expansion card) can automatically log up to 10 000 incoming/outgoing
outside (CO) line calls and 10 000 outgoing outside (CO) line calls for each extension. It is possible to log
the Date, Time, Dial number, Duration and Charge of each call. The call logs can be output via the Serial
Interface (RS-232C) port to a PC, printer, etc. ( 1.20.1 Station Message Detail Recording Feature).
PC Programming
System programming settings can be accessed using a PC and the Panasonic KX-TE Maintenance
Console software as well as by using a PT ( 2.3.1 PC Programming).
The PBX software can be upgraded via the Serial Interface (RS-232C) port or USB port, using the KX-TE
Maintenance Console software ( 2.3.7 Firmware Upgrade).
Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type
The dialling mode of connected outside (CO) lines is automatically configured the first time the PBX is
accessed with a PC using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software, or after the PBX data has been
cleared ( 2.3.5 Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type).
Advanced Hybrid System
This PBX supports the connection of PTs *1 , Direct Station Selection (DSS) Consoles, and single line
devices such as SLTs, fax machines, wireless telephones, and data terminals.
