3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 Introduction
These programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference for the
Panasonic Advanced Hybrid System. The PBX has default settings that can be changed to meet your
needs. These settings control the manner in which the PBX features described in this Feature Guide
function, and changing these settings is referred to as "system programming". System programming can be
performed by only one person at a time. A second person attempting to programme the system will be
denied access to system programming.
Ways to Programme
There are 2 programming methods:
PC Programming
PC programming is described in Section 3.2 PC Programming.
PT (Proprietary Telephone) Programming
PT programming is described in Section 3.3 PT Programming. An authorised administrator or the
manager can perform system programming by entering 3-digit programming numbers with a PT.
Password Security
To maintain system security, a password is required to perform system programming. When KX-TE
Maintenance Console is started for the first time, the Quick Setup utility will ask you to set the system
password. To avoid unauthorised access and possible fraudulent dialling, do not disclose the password.
Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1. Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers if it
becomes known to others.
2. To avoid unauthorised access and possible fraudulent dialling, maintain the secrecy of the
password.
3. We strongly recommend that you change the default password value to something else for reasons
of system security. It is best to use a password of 7 digits.
4. Please change the password periodically.
5. If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a
PC, and checking the password using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software. If you do not
have a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogramme
it. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more
information on how to back up the system data, refer to the on-line help that appears by selecting
the Help menu during PC programming. However, as system passwords can be extracted from
backup copies of the system data file, do not allow unauthorised access to these files.
Note
This PBX has only one system password. It can be changed by either PT programming or PC
programming. For this reason, the password can consist of numerals only.
