Setting up a Slave Unit
If you are connecting a PBX that has not been used before, simply register it as a Slave unit using the Easy
Setup Wizard.
If the PBX has been in operation as a stand-alone unit, do the following:
1.
Back up necessary data, such as activation keys.
2.
Initialise the PBX.
3.
Start up Easy Setup Wizard on the PBX, and set the PBX up as a Slave unit.
4.
On the Add Site Wizard of the Master unit, register the Slave unit.
For more information, refer to "5.5 Programming a One-look Network".
Note
When setting up the Slave unit, data will be re-initialised.
KX-NS series PBXs other than the KX-NS1000 do not support the the slave data converter. Therefore,
back up all necessary data before setting up the Slave unit, and restore the data afterwards.
For details about backing up data and about initialising the PBX, refer to the PC Programming Manual for the
corresponding PBX.
For details about Easy Setup Wizard, refer to the Installation Manual for the corresponding PBX.

A DSP card must be installed in each Slave unit. For details, refer to the Installation Manual for the

YYY = Minor version
ZZ = revision number

Activation keys can be applied freely to Slave units so long as the overall system capacity is not exceeded.
When connecting the unit to a One-look network, reinstall any activation keys being used during
stand-alone operation after the unit has been registered to the Master unit. For details, refer to the
