Terms Used In This Manual - Panasonic KX-TVP50 Getting Started

Here are the important terms used in this manual:
AA - Automated Attendant (see Port Services).
APT - Analogue Proprietary Telephone. To program the PBX, we recommend you connect a
display APT to JACK 01 of the PBX.
Auto Forwarding allows unretrieved messages to be copied or forwarded to another mailbox.
-
beeper - wireless beeper (pager). You can be notified by beeper (pager) when you have
messages. You can also be notified by telephone. Please see the S/G for details.
Caller ID - number identification of the party that originated the call. For this feature to operate,
your PBX must be equipped with the Caller ID option.
COS - Class of Service. Each subscriber is assigned a COS (COS 1 by default). COS defines
the restrictions on the subscriber, such as New Message Retention Time, or the
features she can use, such as Message Notification.
DIL - Direct In Line; this is a PBX term. One exchange line rings one extension directly.
DIP switch - consists of 4 binary switches (see FIG. 1 on page 15). Sixteen combinations are
possible. Each combination is called a "position" and is numbered; several positions are
listed in FIG.2 on page 15. This DIP switch helps you configure the VPS.
GDM - General Delivery Mailbox — this is mostly intended for callers who use a rotary
telephone and so cannot enter touchtone signals.
I/M - Installation Manual. A copy of this is on the CD-ROM. It is a complete guide to setting
up the VPS.
Intercom Paging - audio paging through the PBX's paging system.
LCS - Live Call Screening. This is an exclusive Panasonic feature. Using an APT, you can
monitor incoming calls like a TAM (telephone answering machine) and intercept them if
required.
MWL - Message Waiting Lamp. The MWL on your APT will light up when you have a message.
PBX - a KX-TA Advanced Hybrid System. PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange.
PC - Personal Computer. Not needed for the procedures described in this manual.
