1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Introduction
These programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference
for the Panasonic Advanced Hybrid & Wireless PBX. Each feature in the PBX has default settings
that can be changed to customize the PBX to your requirements. These settings control the functions
of the PBX, and changing them is referred to as "system programming".
Only one person can perform system programming at a time. Any other users trying to enter system
programming mode will be denied access.
Ways to Program
There are two programming methods:
• PC (Personal Computer) Programming
All features and settings of the PBX can be programmed through PC programming with KX-
TAW848 Maintenance Console. Installing and starting Maintenance Console are explained
in the Installation Manual.
• PT (Proprietary Telephone) Programming
A subset of the features and settings of the PBX can be programmed using a PT. PT
programming is described in Section 2.1 PT Programming. An extension user can perform
system programming by entering three-digit programming numbers with a PT.
1.1.2

Password Security

To maintain system security, system passwords are required to access certain programming
functions of the PBX. By giving different users access to different passwords, it is possible to control
the amount of programming that each user is able to perform.
The following types of system passwords are available:
Password
System Password (PT) for
User
System Password (PT) for
Administrator
Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1.
Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2.
To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret,
and inform the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if
they become known to others.
3.
The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time
that you program the PBX.
4.
Change the passwords periodically.
