CHAPTER 1 - SYSTEM OVERVIEW

INTRODUCING THE NEXT-GENERATION PHONE SYSTEM FROM PANASONIC

Our telephony customers know what they're looking for -- real product solutions to meet the
very real demand for an effective, responsive, user-friendly telephone system. They know
that the phone system is their most important link to the outside world -- and often their
"welcome mat" for it. They're dead in the water without a good one.
To provide them with such a phone system, they need a company who's already out there
on the front lines. With a solid reputation for reliability. Flexibility. Feature-rich options.
Expansion capability. New technology, smartly applied. And all of this at an affordable price.
We hear you, loud and clear.
As the world's largest consumer electronics company, Matsushita Electronics (Panasonic's parent
company) has established a worldwide reputation for solid reliability and innovative design in their
products. And true to form, Panasonic's Communications division has become a major world-class
manufacturer of electronic telecommunications products.
With the Digital Business Systems product line, we're currently one of the largest suppliers of busi-
ness telephone systems. Our products are known for their cost-effective digital technology, dependa-
ble functionality, and user-oriented design.
And we're listening to them. They're asking for a phone system that can expand to accommodate a
larger phone base. They want ISDN. Computer Telephony Integration.
Distribution. Two-way call recording. Networking. Voice recognition.
We make it better.
So we responded. As a result, Panasonic is proud to introduce the next-generation phone system in
the DBS product line -- the ICX It's a robust, feature-rich, flexible, reliable phone system that can grow
with the company it serves. At the best price/performance combination available.
Here's just a few of the cutting-edge features of this new Key/PBX system:
Supports a larger phone base.
The ICX is expandable from 96 ports (per cabinet) up
to 576 ports (6 cabinets total). The maximum port
configuration for each cabinet can range from 0 trunks
+ 96 extensions, to 88 trunks + 8 extensions.
Simple cabinet structure.
The two types of cabinets - base and expansion - have
exactly the same card slot structure, so there's no
confusion where to install cards. Many of the parts in
these two cabinets are also the same.
