4.1 GUIDELINES FOR DIGITAL INTEGRATION

INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TA ANALOG PBX AND KX-TD DIGITAL PBX
4.1 GUIDELINES FOR DIGITAL INTEGRATION
4.1.1 Why Digital Integration is Important
The KX-TVS50/80 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-TVS50/80 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 recognizes what the caller wants to do. This
communication allows features that are only available with Digital Integration, several of
which are described below.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
Auto Configuration 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.
Live Call Screening Extension users can monitor messages as they are
being left in the mailbox and intercept if required.
Two-Way Recording Extension users can record conversations in their own
mailboxes by pressing one button.
Two-Way Transfer Extension users can record conversations in another
person's mailboxes by pressing a button and dialing an
extension number.
Direct Mailbox Access The subscriber is entered directly into his mailbox
when he calls the VPS. He does not have to dial his
mailbox number.
Intercom Paging*
1
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.
Caller Name Announcement
(System/Personal)*
1
A pre-recorded announcement of the Caller ID callers'
name is heard when extension users listen to messages
left in their mailbox and/or calls are transferred from
the VPS to the users.
