1.2.3 PBX Configuration Types

One-look Network Configuration
Multiple KX-NS1000 PBXs can be connected together in a configuration called a One-look network. One
KX-NS1000 PBX serves as the Master unit, and other KX-NS1000 PBXs connect to the Master unit as Slave
units. Slave unit PBXs receive settings and operation instructions from the Master unit PBX. With this
configuration, it is easy to make network-wide changes by performing programming at only one PBX.
One-look Network Data Types
The data that is set when programming a One-look network using Web Maintenance Console is divided into
three categories: global data, local data, and connection data. The kind of data being programmed affects how
the programming is performed.
Data Type
Global Data Global data is related to the function of the PBX network as a whole. These settings
are unified network-wide, including extension and calling configurations.
Local Data Local data is related to the settings and functions of each Slave unit PBX. Local
data includes UM configuration settings and network settings.
Connection Connection data includes setting information for connecting the Master unit to
Data Slave units in the One-look network.
Details for Master units and Slave units are as follows:
Configuration
Type
Master Unit
Slave Unit
This is the central PBX of a One-look network of KX-NS1000 PBXs. All PBXs in a
One-look network can be programmed by logging in to the Master unit via Web
Maintenance Console. Both the global settings (settings that apply to all PBXs)
and local settings (settings that apply only to a single Slave unit PBX) of the
One-look network can be programmed in one session. Slave units can also be
registered to the Master unit and then configured from the Master unit.
If the Master unit is set to out of service (OUS) for maintenance or due to a problem,
the One-look network cannot be used until the Master unit is returned to in service
(INS) status.
Note
When a single KX-NS1000 is used in a stand-alone configuration or other
networking configuration, for programming purposes it still must be set as the
Master unit.
Slave units receive programming information from the Master unit for all
system-wide functions, such as extension information and call handling. Each
Slave unit also contains local data programming settings, but these local settings
are still specified using the Master unit. When you log in to a Slave unit, you may
view all global data settings, but only that Slave unit's local data and connection
data may be viewed. The only setting data that can be specified using a Slave unit
is connection data.
If a Slave unit is set to OUS, its resources cannot be used but otherwise the
One-look network will still function. The resources of the OUS Slave unit may be
used again when it is returned to INS status.
