2.1.1 System Configurations
Main Unit
The main unit contains a mother board for controlling PBX functions.
Stand-alone System
A single KX-NS1000 PBX can be used as a stand-alone system. A single KX-NS1000 used as a stand-alone
system controls all terminals, trunks, and applications.
One-Look Network with NS-Net
Multiple KX-NS1000 PBXs can be connected as a distributed networked system using a private IP network.
The networked system is called a One-look network and it can contain up to 16 KX-NS1000 PBXs. In a
One-look network, one PBX serves as the Master unit, which controls the other PBXs, known as Slave units.
The Slave units share setup information and resources controlled by the Master unit. A One-look network is
useful when the network will consist only of KX-NS1000 PBXs and a private IP network is feasible. A
considerable amount of setup is done automatically by the PBXs, so setup and maintenance is much simpler
than other type of networks, such as a TIE line network. All units can be programmed from one location.
Resource sharing allows users to interact as if they were all connected to one PBX, which eliminates the need
to manage information such as PBX access codes.
For details about programming the One-look network, refer to "5.5 Programming a One-look Network".
For details about using a One-look network, refer to "4.2 One-look Networking" in Feature Guide.
*1 NS-Net is a network protocol only used for Panasonic products.
