4.1.1 Why Digital Integration is Important

The KX-TVP50 works well with most PBXs because its connections are made through a
standard single line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the communication between the
PBX and VPS is best when Digital Integration is used; the KX-TVP50 is already set up to
communicate through Digital Integration.
Once Digital Integration is established, the PBX sends information to the VPS through the data
link. This information enables the VPS to identify the extension that is calling, know where a
call is forwarded and why it's forwarded, and recognises what the caller wants to do. This
communication allows features that are only available with Digital Integration, several of
which are described below.

Live Call Screening

DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TA ANALOGUE PBX AND KX-TD DIGITAL PBX
Table 13
The VPS knows what extension numbers exist on the
PBX and creates mailboxes for each extension
automatically. Also sets the VPS clock with data from
the PBX clock.
Extension users can monitor messages as they are
being left in the mailbox and intercept if required.
Extension users can record conversations in their own
mailboxes by pressing one button.
Extension users can record conversations in another
person's mailboxes by pressing a button and dialling
an extension number.
The subscriber is entered directly into his mailbox
when he calls the VPS. He does not have to dial his
mailbox number.
Each PBX outside line (trunk) group can be assigned
one of 4 incoming call services: Voice Mail Service,
Automated Attendant Service, Interview Service and
Custom Service.
Callers can page subscribers through built-in speakers
and external paging equipment. For a Caller ID Caller,
if his name has been recorded for the Caller Name
Announcement feature, the name will be announced at
the end of the page.
