Each port connected to a PBX extension can be comigured to handle calls differently.
The
following describes the valid or invalid entries for the POKI?3 Table fields.

The COS assigned to each port

the feature attributes associated
with that port.
COS also directs the Toshiba VP System to the SCHEDULB and
INFORMATION
Tables
The SCHEDULE Table contains times and days
to use INFORMATION Tables. The INFORMATION Tables include the
company greeting, intercept mailbox, and other information for each

In most cases, allow all ports to make outcalls. When all ports are
defined as YES, the Toshiba VP System only makes outcalls when no
more than
K
of the ports are in use. This leaves ports available for
incoming calls. If NO is
defied
for any ports, all ports defined as YES
are used for outcalls, even when more than
%
are in use.
It is recommended NO be used only for special applications.
Allows the selftest routine to be enabled or disabled. Some PBXs have
the capability of running diagnostics on their ports. The diagnostics may
cause the Toshiba VP System’s selftest to fail and place the Toshiba
VP System port in TST mode, taking the port out of service. The port
remains in TST mcde until selftest runs again and is able to put the port
in
senice,
or until the system is restarted. In these cases, selftest can be
disabled.
