Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Model
KX-TVP50 Voice Processing System.
The Panasonic Voice Processing System (VPS) is a powerful tool used to manage your voice communications and increase your productivity through the use of your voice mailbox. As a subscriber (the owner of a VPS mailbox), you can:
• Send a message to one or more people inside or outside of your office.
• Transfer messages (with your annotation) to other VPS subscribers.
• Receive messages from any touchtone telephone.
• Be called at an outside telephone or be notified through your beeper (pager), when there are messages stored in your mailbox.
• Be notified by the message-waiting lamp on your extension that there are messages stored in your mailbox.
• Screen your calls.
• Automate the handling of callers.
• And more...
Getting Started
Numbers to Know
You must have the following information before you begin:
• The extension number(s) of the VPS.
• Your mailbox and extension number.
• The System Manager’ s phone number.
Basic Steps
When using your mailbox for the first time, you must read "Section 1: Mailbox Setup" and perform the key setup procedures described. You must customise your mailbox before sending or receiving messages.
Identify yourself as the owner of your mailbox by setting the following:
• Recording Personal Greetings
• Recording Your Name
• Setting Your Password
• This symbol identifies important notes about the operation being described.
• The voice prompts will guide you in every step of programming.
Notes
• In this manual, the suffix of each model number is omitted.
• Throughout this manual the term he or she, his or her may be used. In order to improve readability rather than continually use he/she we have only used one of these terms.
The term he or she should be taken as being interchangeable.

• The caller will not know to press [0] for transfer to your covering extension. Therefore, the caller must be instructed. For example, you might record the Busy Greeting in this way: "Hi, this is Cindy. Sorry, but I am busy with another call right now. If you press [0] now, you will be transferred to my secretary. Otherwise, please leave a message after you hear the tone".

Message Waiting Notification
The VPS is able to notify you when a new message has been recorded in your mailbox. There are 3 ways by which the VPS notifies you: (1) Message Waiting Lamp on your proprietary telephone, (2) a call to another telephone (e.g., your mobile phone), or (3) your beeper
(pager). You can assign time frames to each of these devices.
The VPS is also able to notify your beeper (pager) with the callback number of the party who left the message. The telephone number stored on the VPS for your beeper (pager) must include the beeper (pager) display command.
Three features can be set for message waiting notification: Message Waiting Lamp Status,
Change Device Status, and Assign Telephone Number. These features can be set by the
System Administrator or at a subscriber telephone. You must enter a phone number for each device.
• The System Administrator or the System Manager must authorise this feature before it can be used.

GLOSSARY
Alternate Extension Group
Transfers calls to the extensions in this group following the sequence specified by "Alternate
Extension Transfer Sequence".
APT Integration
Digital Integration between the KX-TA series and the VPS.
Auto Configuration
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) The VPS can automatically draw information from the KX-TA/KX-TD/KX-TDA series. This information includes, among other things, extension number assignments for each VPS port. This saves time in the initial setup. Auto Configuration can be executed by DIP Switch settings or by System Administration (Quick Setup).
Auto Forwarding
Allows un-retrieved messages to be copied or moved to another mailbox.
Automated Attendant
The Automated Attendant feature of the VPS requests the caller to enter an extension number and then the VPS dials the number. If there is no answer or the line is busy, the caller is given some options, including the option to leave a message in a mailbox. This is the advantage of calling an extension indirectly through the Automated Attendant rather than calling it directly.
Call Blocking
Connects the caller to the Incomplete Call Handling Service without ringing the subscriber’s extension.
Call Screening
Allows subscribers to screen calls. The VPS prompts the caller with the message "Record your name at the tone", and records the caller’s name; it then puts the caller on hold while playing the name to the subscriber who decides whether to take the call or not.
Call Transfer
Transfers a call to the requested destination.
Subscriber's Guide 53
Called Party ID
(Sometimes referred to as Follow-On ID) Allows the PBX to dial extra digits to bring the caller directly to a specified mailbox, rather than to the General Delivery Mailbox.
Caller ID Call Routing
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) The VPS automatically sends calls from preassigned Caller ID numbers to the desired extension, mailbox (including System Group
Distribution List) or Custom Service.
Caller Name Announcement (System/Personal)
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) The VPS announces pre-recorded Caller ID caller’s names when: (1) extension users listen to messages from pre-assigned numbers left in the user's mailboxes, (2) the VPS transfers calls from pre-assigned numbers to the users (Caller
ID Screening), and (3) the VPS pages the users by intercom (Intercom Paging).
If the same Caller ID number is programmed for both system and personal caller name announcements, the VPS will use the personal caller name.
Company Greeting
Up to 32 Company Greetings can be recorded to greet callers. One (or System Greeting or none) can be selected for each Day, Night, Lunch, Break, and Holiday service on a port basis and trunk (outside line) basis.
Company Name
This is played by the VPS to the intended receiver of an External Delivery Message when she does not enter the password (if required) correctly. This helps her to realise where the call came from.
Covering Extension
This can be a destination for Incomplete Call Handling Service. This can also be accessed by pressing [0] while a Personal Greeting is being played, or while a caller is leaving a message.
Custom Service Setting
Allows one-touch access to extensions, other custom service menus, fax machine, mailboxes, etc. A greeting can be recorded for each of the 100 menus to give verbal directions to the nonsubscribers.
Default Setting
A parameter defined for the system at the factory which can be changed through system programming by the System Administrator or the System Manager.
54 Subscriber's Guide
Delayed Ringing
There are 2 kinds of delayed ringing applications:
(1) The VPS is used as the no-answer destination for the Intercept Routing feature of your PBX.
(2) DIL 1:N (outside [CO] line to several extensions) terminates on telephones and VPS ports.
To give the telephone users a chance to answer calls, the VPS lines should be programmed for delayed ringing. Otherwise, the VPS will answer the calls immediately.
Delete Message Confirmation
The VPS requests confirmation from the mailbox owner before erasing a message left in the mailbox.
Delivery Time
The time specified by the subscriber for the VPS to deliver a pre-recorded message. You can specify delivery time in External Delivery Message or when delivering a message to other subscribers (Subscriber's Guide Section 3.1)
Department Dialling
A speed-dialling feature that permits an outside caller to dial a single digit (1-9) to reach a specific extension.
Direct Mailbox Access
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) A subscriber can enter her mailbox directly when she calls the VPS from her extension. She does not have to enter any special codes except for her password, if one is set.
DPT Integration
Digital integration between the VPS and the KX-TD/KX-TDA series. Requires upgraded software in the PBX.
Depending on the model and/or the software version of the connected PBX, you may not be able to utilise some of the features available only with DPT Integration. For more information, consult your dealer.
DTMF
(Dual Tone Multi Frequency) Commonly referred to as touchtone.
External Call Forwarding
(Available on the KX-TD/KX-TDA series)
Forwards calls to an extension that has call forwarding activated to an outside phone.
External Delivery Message
A message intended for automatic delivery to outside parties and/or extensions.
The message can be delivered immediately or at a specified time.
Subscriber's Guide 55
External Message Delivery List
Allows the subscriber to create 2 lists to deliver messages to outside parties. Each list can have
8 destinations.
External Message Delivery Redial
Allows the System Administrator to instruct the VPS when making external message deliveries how many attempts to make when the line is busy or when there is no answer.
Fast Forward
Puts the user 4 seconds ahead in the current message.
Follow-On ID
See Called Party ID.
General Delivery Mailbox
When the caller does not dial anything (either because she does not want to or she is using a rotary telephone), the VPS sends her to the General Delivery Mailbox. Periodically (daily is best), the Message Manager should transfer the contents of the General Delivery Mailbox to the appropriate destinations.
Hash Sign
Same as Pound Sign.
HELP
One of the utility commands that is used to list all utility commands with a brief description of each.
Immediate Reply
Allows the message receiver to reply to a message without specifying the extension number or the mailbox number of the sender.
Inband Signalling
The Follow-On ID (or Called Party ID) that integrates the VPS and the PBX. Uses intercom paths to light the message waiting light. Does not give "high end" features such as Intercom
Paging, Direct Mailbox Access, Live Call Screening, etc.
56 Subscriber's Guide
Incomplete Call Handling Service
Calls are considered incomplete when there is no answer or if the line is busy.
There are 6 options for the Incomplete Call Handling Service:
(1) to record a message from the caller,
(2) transfer the caller to a covering extension,
(3) page the mailbox owner via the PBX,
(4) notify the mailbox owner via beeper (pager),
(5) transfer the caller to the operator, or
(6) let the caller try another extension.
Integration
Required between the VPS and the PBX. See Inband Signalling, APT Integration and DPT
Integration.
Intercept Routing No Answer
Transfers an unanswered call to another extension, or to the VPS. (This is a PBX feature.)
Intercom Paging
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) Allows up to 8 different paging groups. An outside party can reach a subscriber who is away from her telephone using either internal or external paging groups. For a Caller ID caller, if her name has been recorded for the Caller Name
Announcement feature, the name will be announced at the end of the page.
Interview Service
A special type of subscriber mailbox that enables the subscriber to record up to 10 questions.
After the answers are recorded, the Message Waiting Lamp turns on at the subscriber’s telephone. (Good for claims departments, order desks, job applications, etc.)
Keypad
All touchtone keys on the telephone.
LCD
Liquid crystal display
Live Call Screening
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) The proprietary telephone works like an answering machine. The subscriber can hear the caller through the speakerphone or the handset while the message is being recorded.
LOAD
