One-Look Network - Panasonic KX-NS1000 Feature Manual

14.1.4 One-look Network

Description
A One-look network is a network of KX-NS series PBXs connected and managed over a private IP network.
A KX-NS1000 PBX serves as the Master unit, which controls one or more PBXs, known as Slave units. Almost
all programming and configuration can be done through the Master unit.
Although PBXs and extensions may be located in physically different locations, conceptually the system
behaves as one PBX.
Each PBX in a One-look network and the devices under it are referred to as a "site", regardless of whether it
is a Master or Slave unit. The PBX at each site is often referred to as the local PBX.

Features of One-look networking
•
Simple setup and expansion
When setting up a PBX initially, the first step is to specify whether it is a Master unit or a Slave unit. If a
PBX is specified as a Slave unit, it automatically locates the Master unit if they are on the same LAN.
® 2.1.4 Easy Setup Wizard
After the initial settings have been configured, the only additional step is to register the Slave unit to the
Master unit using a simple wizard. Note that a Slave unit will not function until it is registered.

Common extension numbering
All extensions are managed from the Master unit and behave as if they were all connected to one PBX.
This feature is similar to common extension numbering over a TIE connection (® 15.1.23 Private Network
