Installer Equipment And Software Requirements - Panasonic KX-TVP50 Installation Manual

1.3 SYSTEM BASICS
The PBX should have the following features for successful integration:
• Single line (tip/ring) port circuits (Some PBXs need an OPX card to provide this
connection.)
• Station to station DTMF signalling
• Message Waiting Notification from an SLT (single-line telephone)
• Screened transfer from an SLT
• Message Waiting Notification on proprietary (multi-line) sets (message waiting lamp
accessed by dialling on/off codes)
If the PBX does not have these features, VPS operation will be limited.
See 3.1.4 PBX Requirements for Integration. You will find the following information about
each feature listed:
• Description
• Limitations of the system without the feature
• Tests to determine whether the PBX has the feature
VOICE MAIL
The recommended Panasonic PBX systems have Follow-on ID and Inband Integration. When
callers are transferred to an extension that is forwarded to Voice Mail, Follow-on ID sends
callers directly to the mailbox. Without Follow-on ID, the caller would have to re-enter the
mailbox number when connected to the Voice Mail.
DTMF Integration enables the VPS to recognise the current state of the call and improve its
call handling performance. When enabled, the PBX informs the VPS of the status of the call
(busy, answered, ringing, etc.) by sending a code with DTMF tones before sending the normal
call progress tones. For example, when a caller hangs up before making a selection, the PBX
sends # 9 to the VPS port that answered. This informs the VPS that the caller has hung up.
Upon receiving these digits, the VPS goes on-hook and is ready to handle another call.
Digital (APT/DPT) Integration is available when the VPS is connected to a Panasonic KX-TA
series PBX or to a Panasonic KX-TD series PBX (depending on the software version). This
digital integration provides the VPS with more information than DTMF Integration. This
information enables the system to identify the extension number of the caller, know where the
call is forwarded from and why, and recognise what the caller wants to do. Some features are
available only with APT/DPT Integration (Live Call Screening, Two-Way Recording, Two-
Way Transfer, Direct Mailbox Access, Intercom Paging, Auto Configuration, Caller Name
Announcement (system/personal), Caller ID Call Routing, Personal Greeting for Caller ID).

1.3.4 Installer Equipment and Software Requirements

The installer must have a laptop computer or data terminal equipped with terminal emulation
software. We suggest you use something like HyperTerminal by HILGRAEVE. The computer
is used to program the VPS. Terminal emulation software enables the keyboard to be used as a
data entry device.
