Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT)
The Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) is a personal computer (PC) that is used for
programming and maintenance of the UNIVERGE
a Maintenance Printout, Peg Count information and fault message output. Additionally, the
MAT can be used to Remove and Restore to service any station in the system and can read or
save system data from disks. The MAT can assign the Key Data for the Attendant Console. The
MAT requires an IBM or compatible PC running Microsoft Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP
and MATWorX.
MATWorX is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program that provides an efficient method for
manipulating the PBX database. This program contains extensive help files, Usage Wizards and
Tool Tips, with hyperlinks imbedded in the text. The hyperlinks provide quick access to the
appropriate Add-In modules. Add-In modules provide a user-friendly, intuitive method for
customizing the PBX database.
MATWorX add-ins makes it easy for you to add or remove PBX features at any time. Add-ins
are modular components that let you program specific features such as Caller ID, Station
Assignments, Day/Night Modes, and Line Key Assignments.
Because add-ins are modular, you can add, remove, and upgrade them individually from within
MATWorX. Add-ins let you modify your PBX's features without having to upgrade the
MATWorX application itself. MATWorX also gives you a convenient way to launch other
commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Word or Excel, directly from its Toolbar.
Connecting to a PBX
There are three ways to connect your PC to an NEC PBX:
Use a modem to establish a dial-up connection.
Use a serial cable to establish a direct connection.
Use TCP/IP over your Local Area Network (LAN), Requires DeviceServerWorX (DSW)
The method you use depends on how you installed and configured the device to which you want
to connect. A serial cable direct connection offers better performance than a modem connection,
but requires that the PC and device be within 50 feet of each other. A TCP/IP connection offers
excellent performance and flexibility but requires a network connection to both your PC and the
device.
