Installation Manual
Panasonic KX-TVS50, KXTVS50, TVS50
Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Voice Processing System, Model KX-TVS50.
Please read this manual before installing, customizing, or operating the Voice Processing System.
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Model
KX-TVS50 Voice Processing System.
We are confident that it will provide your customer or client with many years of dependable
service.
This Voice Processing System was especially tailored for the American environment. For
example, it can be configured for English, a second language, or a third language:
System prompts—Recorded at the factory in English
User 1 prompts—Record in any language you like
User 2 prompts—Record in any language you like
These prompts guide subscribers and non-subscribers through specific VPS operations.
However, we would like to stress that for outside callers who merely need to be guided to an
extension, a mailbox, or other destinations (e.g., a fax machine), they can be greeted by a
Custom Service. This supports many languages as there are 12 keys on a touchtone phone and
you can record up to 100 Custom Service menus. One twelfth of these menus can be recorded
in one language if you desire. Another twelfth can be recorded in another language, and so on.
Thus callers can be guided entirely in their native languages. For a multi-cultural United States,
Custom Service is a truly powerful feature. Please see "Custom Service" in Appendix
A1 SYSTEM FEATURES for more details.
Note
This product is only for connection behind a suitable PBX and should not be connected directly
to the network.

Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures.
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line,
as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.
CAUTION
Any change or modification made to the terminal equipment, not expressly approved by the

VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1
WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO
1.1.1
Why Voice Processing?
The VPS handles incoming and outgoing calls. When a call comes in, it answers, forwards to
appropriate extensions, takes and stores messages, and notifies subscribers when messages are
left. Subscribers may send and transfer messages to other subscribers within the system. The
VPS is easy to use, helping callers through the system with step-by-step voice prompts.
Unlike handwritten messages or those left with answering services, VPS messages are
confidential; they are stored in a mailbox and retrieved only with the subscriber's password.
Other advantages of the VPS are clarity and accuracy, which are commonly lacking with
written messages. The messages come directly from the caller, in the caller's own voice. To
further ensure accuracy, the system allows the sender to correct or change messages before
saving them. Messages can be erased or transferred by the recipient.
1.1.2
Basic Operations
Greeting Callers:
The VPS greets callers with a prerecorded message that includes directions for leaving and
editing messages. The VPS can list single-digit numbers for each available extension or
mailbox. Callers who know the extension of the person they wish to reach may dial the
extension number at any time. Callers with rotary phones are transferred to a preprogrammed
destination (which is often an operator or the General Delivery Mailbox) to leave a message.
Sending Messages:
Callers can review and edit messages before leaving them in a mailbox. Subscribers can send
messages to an individual or to several mailboxes at once. The message sender can then verify
that the other subscriber has received the message.
Receiving Messages:
There are several different message notification methods that subscribers can use. They can
choose to be notified by message waiting lamp, beeper, or a call from the system to another
line. System programming determines whether a subscriber will be notified each time a
message is left. (Subscribers can choose to receive message notifications differently depending
on the time of day.) Mailbox parameters, which accommodate 5-100 messages, determine the

VPS Limitations
The VPS does not support:
UCD functions
UCD (Uniform Call Distribution) is a service that distributes calls evenly among extensions;
when all extensions are unavailable, it returns to callers to say that all extensions are busy. Calls
can be forwarded by the VPS to the KX-TD1232/816/308 floating number of a UCD group.
The call then rings at the next available phone.
The VPS supports UCD functions with very limited capabilities. Because the incoming call
is forwarded as an intercom path and not a DIL (direct in line), the following items will not
work:
• time table
• overflow function
• DISA message from a DISA card
• IRNA
Integration with the wrong PBX or with certain Key Systems presents limitations to the VPS'
standard functions. We do not recommend these systems for integration with the VPS. The
section 1.3.3 Which Phone Systems are Compatible? explains problems with compatibility.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION,
MANAGEMENT, AND USE
System Administration
System Administration is accomplished by the installer using terminal emulation software. It
concerns setting and changing system parameters and diagnosing system problems.
1.2.2
System Management
Two system functions are performed by the customer: System Management and Message
Management.
System Management concerns changing system parameters through the System Manager's
Mailbox.
Message Management concerns recording voice prompts through the Message Manager's
Mailbox. These messages include Department Dialing menu, Custom Service menus, voice
labels for System Group Distribution Lists, user prompts, multilingual selection menu and
System Caller Names.
1.2.3
Subscriber Use
System users are called subscribers. Subscribers are assigned personal mailboxes which they
can customize. Subscribers can record their names, record personal greetings, set covering
extensions, record questions for an interview mailbox, set the message reception mode, set
incomplete call handling status, set call transfer status, enter Personal Group Distribution Lists,
set the message waiting lamp, and set notification by calling.

1.3.3
Which Phone Systems are Compatible?
We recommend integration with the following Panasonic phone systems:
• Panasonic KX-TA624
• Panasonic KX-TD308
• Panasonic KX-TD1232
• Panasonic KX-TD816
• Panasonic KX-TA1232
• Panasonic KX-T336
• Panasonic KX-T123211D
We cannot guarantee adequate integration of the VPS with other PBX systems or with Key
Systems. If the customer does not have a recommended Panasonic PBX system, be sure that
the system has the features listed below.
The PBX should have the following features for successful integration:
• Single line (tip/ring) port circuits (Some PBXs need an OPX card to provide this
connection.)
• Station to station touchtone signaling
Installation Manual
19
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
• Message Waiting Notification from an SLT (single-line telephone)
• Screened transfer from an SLT
• Message Waiting Notification on proprietary (multi-line) sets (message waiting lamp
accessed by dialing on/off codes)
If the PBX does not have these features, VPS operation will be limited.
See 3.1.4 PBX Requirements for Integration. You will find the following information about
each feature listed:
• Description
• Limitations of the system without the feature
• Tests to determine whether the PBX has the feature
VOICE MAIL
The recommended Panasonic PBX systems have Follow-on ID and Inband Integration. When
callers are transferred to an extension that is forwarded to Voice Mail, Follow-on ID sends
callers directly to the mailbox. Without Follow-on ID, the caller would have to re-enter the
mailbox number when connected to Voice Mail.
Touchtone Integration enables the VPS to recognize the current state of the call and improve
its call handling performance. When enabled, the PBX informs the VPS of the status of the call
(busy, answered, ringing, etc.) by sending a code with touchtones before sending the normal
call progress tones. For example, when a caller hangs up before making a selection, the PBX
sends # 9 to the VPS port that answered. This informs the VPS that the caller has hung up.
Upon receiving these digits, the VPS goes on-hook and is ready to handle another call.
Digital (APT/DPT) Integration is available when the VPS is connected to a Panasonic KXTA624 or other Panasonic KX-T series digital PBX (depending on the software version). This
Digital Integration provides the VPS with more information than Touchtone Integration. This
information enables the system to identify the extension number of the caller, know where
from and why the call is forwarded, and recognize what the caller wants to do. Some features
are available only with Digital Integration (Remote Call Forwarding Set, Live Call Screening,
Two-Way Recording, Two-Way Transfer, Direct Mailbox Access, Intercom Paging, Auto
Configuration, Caller Name Announcement [system/personal], Caller ID Call Routing,
Personal Greeting for Caller ID, Time Synchronization with PBX).
1.3.4
Installer Equipment and Software Requirements
The installer must have a personal computer or data terminal equipped with terminal
emulation software. We suggest that you use something like HyperTerminal by HILGRAEVE.
Use the personal computer to program the VPS. Terminal emulation software enables the
keyboard to be used as a data entry device.
While both the personal computer and data terminal are working, the personal computer allows
screens to be saved in a file throughout the process. It is often helpful to retrieve these files later
if technical support is needed.

Recommendations for System Configuration
General guideline: a ratio of 6/1 (for every 6 lines, 1 port). There are 2 questions to ask when
considering how many ports are desirable:
• Are the ports answering all incoming calls or just forwarded/transferred calls?
• If they are answering incoming calls, how busy are the lines?
The guideline above (6/1) usually works well with moderate traffic. However, this may have
to be modified for heavy traffic. Recommendations are outlined in the following charts.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION
1.4.1
General
There are 2 types of Digital Integration: APT Integration and DPT Integration.
APT Integration is available when the VPS is connected to a KX-TA624. DPT Integration is
available when the VPS is connected to a KX-TD or KX-TA1232 digital PBX.
1.4.2
APT Integration
To the Panasonic KX-TA624, the VPS ports look like proprietary telephones. The PBX thinks
that the VPS is a proprietary telephone, and the VPS mimics all actions of a proprietary
telephone. Communication between the VPS and the PBX through digital integration requires
the proper software level in the PBX and 4-wire connections for each port. To communicate
between the VPS and the PBX through APT Integration, the PBX and VPS must be
programmed to work together.
1.4.3
Connection Example—APT Integration
For example, you can connect jack 7 of the KX-TA624 to Port 1 of the VPS with a 4-wire
connection (see diagram below). This connection creates 1 Voice Mail extension and can only
answer 1 call. This means that a fully-configured 2-port system requires 2 jacks from the PBX.
VPS
KX-TA624
7
Port 1
Extension 107

Port 2
Extension 108
When APT Integration is activated, a single extension jack provides 1 single-line interface at
a Port on the VPS. For example, when 1 line cord (4 wire) is connected to Port 1 on the VPS,
1 extension is provided.
Installation Manual
23
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.4.4
DPT Integration
To the Panasonic KX-T series PBX that uses DPT Integration, the VPS ports look like digital
extensions. The PBX thinks that the VPS is a digital phone, and the VPS mimics all actions of
a digital set. Another advantage of digital integration is that the 2B+D communication provides
2 VPS ports for each Digital Station port. Communication between the VPS and the PBX
through digital integration requires the proper software level in the PBX and 4-wire
connections for each port. To communicate between the VPS and the PBX through DPT
Integration, the PBX and VPS must be programmed to work together.
1.4.5
Connection Example—DPT Integration
For example, you can connect jack 15 of the KX-TD1232 to Port 1 of the VPS with a 4-wire
connection (see diagram below). This connection creates 2 Voice Mail extensions and can
simultaneously answer 2 calls. This means that a fully-configured 2-port system requires only
1 jack from the PBX.
VPS
KX-TD1232
15
Port 1
Extensions 165 and 166
When DPT Integration is activated, a single extension jack provides 2 single-line interfaces at
a Port on the VPS. For example, when 1 line cord (4 wire) is connected to Port 1 on the VPS,
2 extensions are provided.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following precautions before installing the VPS.
2.1.1
Installation
The VPS needs to be mounted on a wall. Improper placement of the system may result in
malfunction, noise, or discoloration. Avoid installing the VPS in the following places:
• in direct sunlight; in hot, cold, or humid places
• in new areas where there are thermal springs, etc. (where sulfuric gas may damage the
equipment or contacts).
• where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
• in dusty places or places where water or oil may come in contact with the unit.
• near high frequency generating devices such as sewing machines, elevators or electric
welders.
• on or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment; near microwave ovens or air
conditioners. (Ideally, the VPS should not be in the room with these items and should be
at least 1.8 m {6 feet} away from televisions.)
Do not obstruct the areas around the PBX and the VPS. Both require space above for cooling
and space on the sides for maintenance and inspection.
26
Installation Manual
INSTALLATION
2.1.2
Wiring
• To assure good quality telephone connection, it is recommended new and modifications to
existing installation of customer premise wiring shall use solid twisted pair copper
conductors with minimum 24 gauge that comply with the electrical specifications for
Category 3 wiring as detailed in ANSI/EIA/TIA-570A Building Wiring Standards.
• Do not wire the telephone cable parallel to an AC power source, computer, etc. If cables
are run near those wires, shield them with metal tubing or use shielded cables and ground
the shields.
• Use protectors if running cables on the floor. Avoid running cables under carpets.
• Avoid sharing a 120 V AC power supply for computers, telexes, and other office equipment
with the VPS. Induction noise from such equipment may interrupt the VPS operation.
When making any connections or removing the cover, be sure the power switch is turned off.
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Note
If you live in an area that can have frequent power failures, we strongly recommend that you
purchase a suitable UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for your VPS (and PBX if needed).
The power rating of your VPS may be found in the specifications.

FRAME GROUND CONNECTION
IMPORTANT!!!
Connect the frame of the main unit to the ground.
1. Loosen the screw.
2. Insert the grounding wire.
3. Tighten the screw.
4. Connect the grounding wire to the ground.
To ground
In most of North America, the ground provided by the "Third wire ground" at the commercial
or residential power outlet will be satisfactory. However, in some cases this ground may be
installed incorrectly. Therefore, the following test procedure should be performed.
Test Procedure
1. Obtain a suitable voltmeter and set it for a possible reading of up to 250 V AC.
2. Connect the meter probes between the 2 main AC voltage points on the wall outlet. The
reading obtained should be 108 V AC-132 V AC.
3. Move one of the meter probes to the third prong terminal (GND).
Either the same reading or a reading of 0 V should be obtained.
4. If a reading of 0 V at 1 terminal and a reading of 108 V AC-132 V AC at the other terminal
is not obtained, the outlet is not properly grounded. This condition should be corrected by
a qualified electrician (per article 250 of the National Electrical Code).
5. If a reading of 0 V at 1 terminal and a reading of 108 V AC-132 V AC at the other terminal
is obtained, then set the meter to the "OHMS/RX1" scale, place 1 probe at the GND
Terminal and the other probe at the terminal which gave a reading of 0 V. A reading of less
than 1 should be obtained. If the reading is not obtained, the outlet is not adequately
grounded. See a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION STEPS
The following is an overview of the standard installation process using Digital Integration.
When necessary, other sections in this manual have been referenced for more detailed
descriptions or instructions.
1. Obtain a list of current users, their extension numbers, their departments, and the type of
systems they use (mailbox, no mailbox, beeper, car phone, etc.).
2. Assess your customers' needs before setting up the system. You will save yourself time later
by giving customers what they need up front. Ask the office manager how the VPS will be
used. Give examples.
Recommend that your customer use a word processor to log the greetings. You will find
these files much more easily than the worksheet pages if you need to make changes down
the road.
3. Connect the power cord to the VPS.
CAUTION
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet
is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
4. Standard Initialization (For Digital Integration Connection)
a) Program the ports of the PBX for voice processing (see Section 4 INTEGRATING THE
VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TA SERIES PBX AND KX-TD SERIES PBX).

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
If the DIP Switch is not reset to position 0 after initialization, all programming will be
lost when the voice processor loses power!
5. Perform Quick Setup (see Section 5 CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM).
6. Check Quick Setup:
• The Power Indicator on the Voice Processor should be solid.
• The screen output should be: [On Line].
If you do not see the "On Line" message, check the following:
• The line cord to the Voice Processor has 4 conductors.
• The programming on the KX-TA624 is correctly set in System Program [130], or
[130] and [131].
• The programming on the KX-TD816, KX-TD1232, KX-TA1232 or KX-TD308 is
correctly set in System Program [117].
7. Set up Class of Service (COS) for each user. Customize voice prompts if necessary (see
Appendix B SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE).
8. Perform Administrative Program through a personal computer (see Appendix B SYSTEM
ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE).

3.1
GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATION
3.1.1
APT/DPT or Inband Signaling?
There are 3 types of integration available on the VPS: Inband Signaling, APT and DPT. The
VPS used with any other brand of telephone equipment requires inband equipment.
KX-TA624 that can use APT Integration is:
• KX-TA624 Version Y581A or higher.
KX-TD series PBXs that can use DPT Integration are:
• KX-TD308 Version P871F or higher
• KX-TD816 Version P301O or higher
• KX-TD1232 Version P231U or higher
Likewise, the KX-TA1232 can also use DPT Integration:
• KX-TA1232 Version P831AA or higher (all versions)
Notes
• To the VPS, the KX-TA1232 looks identical to the KX-TD1232.
• Depending on the model and/or the software version of the connected PBX, you may
not be able to utilize some of the features available only with DPT Integration (see
4.1.1 Why Digital Integration is Important). For more information, call National
Parts Center at 1-800-833-9626.
3.1.2
Why Integration is Important
The VPS works well with most PBXs because its connections are made through a standard
single-line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the VPS operation depends on the
capabilities and features provided by the PBX; its performance will vary when connected with
different PBX systems. For example, Follow-on (or Called Party) ID is a feature of the PBX.
If the PBX does not have this feature, the VPS cannot transfer calls directly to the correct
mailbox and play the Busy or No Answer greeting for that mailbox.
3.1.3
How the VPS and the PBX Communicate
To the PBX, the VPS looks like SLT sets. The PBX thinks that the VPS is an SLT, and the VPS
mimics all actions a live attendant would carry out from an SLT.
For the VPS and the PBX to communicate, proper signaling is important. Like an attendant,
the VPS places calls by going off-hook and dialing numbers. It starts call transfers with a
hookswitch flash to put callers on hold and then dials the extension number. By recognizing
call progress tones from the PBX, the VPS decides how calls should be handled. Inband
Integration allows the PBX to send certain digits (touchtone) to the VPS, allowing it to
recognize the status of the extension and take the appropriate action.

SLT Signals

The VPS must also have access to certain PBX features. For example, if the VPS takes a
message, one way it can notify the mailbox owner is by dialing the PBX's Message-WaitingLamp-On code. Once new messages are retrieved, the VPS dials the Message-Waiting-LampOff code for that same mailbox owner.
3.1.4
PBX Requirements for Integration
The PBX must have certain capabilities and features to work with the VPS. (Although this
section includes tests to help you evaluate the PBX, it may be necessary to refer to the PBX's
documentation for detailed capability and feature descriptions.)
Single Line (Tip/Ring) Port Circuits
The VPS can only be connected to a PBX that supports SLT sets. Some PBXs need an OPX
card to provide this connection. However, some OPX cards do not provide all the capabilities
listed in this section.
Following are the minimum current and voltages that the PBX must supply:
Table 9
Minimum Loop Current
20 mA
Minimum Line Voltage
7 V DC
Minimum Ringing Voltage
40 V AC
Station to Station Touchtone Signaling
For system users to access VPS services and features, they must be able to send touchtones
from their telephones to the VPS port. As a general rule, SLT sets can perform station-tostation touchtone signaling; however, many proprietary telephones cannot. Some PBXs need
to be programmed to make proprietary sets use touchtone signaling.
If the PBX does not provide station-to-station touchtone signaling, VPS services and
features will be limited.
Installation Manual
43
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
TEST:Call an SLT extension from the telephone in question. When the call
is answered, see if the person receiving the call hears touchtones when
numbers are dialed.
Message Waiting Notification from an SLT
The PBX extensions should light a lamp or receive stutter dial tone when the MessageWaiting-Lamp-On code is dialed by the VPS. The VPS functions best when the extension
number of the voice mailbox owner follows the Light-On or Light-Off code. On some PBXs,
however, the extension number is dialed first, followed by a hookswitch flash and then the On
code. This presents a problem if the extension is answered before the VPS sends the hookswitch flash.
If the PBX does not provide message waiting notification from an SLT, the VPS can only
notify mailbox owners by dialing a beeper number or user-assigned extension.
This process slows down VPS performance as it dials the beeper or extension number and
waits to confirm notification. The beeper or user-assigned extension notification is meant to be
used for necessity, usually for mailbox owners who are often out of the office (e.g., sales people
or field representatives). The only other option, without message waiting notification, is for
mailbox owners to periodically call the VPS to check for messages.
TEST: See if dialing the On code from an SLT can turn on an extension's
message waiting indicator.
Screened Transfer from an SLT
The PBX must provide a screened transfer from an SLT for the VPS to function properly.
A screened transfer:
1. Puts the caller on hold, usually with a hookswitch flash.
2. Dials the extension.
3. Checks to see if the called subscriber is in, out, or on another line, and whether or not that
subscriber accepts the transfer.
4. Completes the transfer (by going on-hook) or returns to the caller to say that the party is
busy or not available. It then gives the caller an opportunity to leave a message.
If the PBX does not provide screened transfer from an SLT, the VPS cannot give callers the
option to leave a message in a subscriber's mailbox.
44
Installation Manual
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
TEST: Place an outside call from an SLT. See if you can set up a screened
transfer to another extension. Next, try the same test with an internal call.
(The VPS may have to transfer both types of calls.)
Follow-on ID or Called Party ID
When forwarding or transferring a call to the VPS, a PBX with Follow-on ID sends the mailbox
number of the called subscriber to the VPS before connecting the caller. The VPS responds by
playing that subscriber's personal greeting. This operation is sometimes called Call Forward to
Mailbox. Without this feature, the VPS cannot immediately play the greeting when the line is
busy or there is no answer and allow the caller to leave a message.

PBX PARAMETERS AND PORT SETTINGS
3.2.1
General Guidelines and Definitions
Optimal performance of the VPS/PBX system relies on proper VPS programming. There are
3 categories of hardware settings: RS-232C, Port Settings, and PBX Interface Parameters.
Entering a number sets some of the parameters, while others use sequence codes.
3.2.2
RS-232C Settings
• Baud Rate (300-38400): Specifies the speed at which the data is transferred in bits-persecond.
• Word Bit Length (7-8): Defines the number of bits in each byte or character.
• Parity (N, O, E): Specifies the parity used for error detection.
• Stop Bit Length (1-2): Specifies the number of bits used to signify the end of the byte.
• Default: 9600, 8, N, 1
3.2.3
Port Settings
There is no need to change these in a typical installation. Only change these parameters when
connecting the VPS to a PBX other than a KX-T series PBX. Each port on the VPS should
match the type of signaling the PBX expects. If you need to change these settings, refer to the
PBX manual or customer support office to get the correct values for these settings.
• Flash Time—100 ms, 300 ms, 600 ms, 900 ms:
The minimum length of time that the PBX requires to recognize a hookswitch flash.
Choose the amount that is equal to or greater than the PBX's setting.
• CPC Signal (Calling Party Control Signal)—NONE, 6.5 ms, 150 ms, 300 ms, 450 ms,
600 ms:
The length of time allowed for the short break in loop current that is used to indicate that
the caller has hung up; usually set to NONE, since most PBXs do not provide this signal
to single line ports. If choosing a setting other than NONE, use an amount equal to or
less than the PBX or telephone company provided CPC signal.
• Disconnect Time—1 s-8 s:
The length of time that the line is temporarily unavailable after a call has ended.
• Dial Mode—Touchtone, Pulse 10 pps, Pulse 20 pps:
The type of signaling the PBX single line port expects to receive (pps = pulses per
second).

in how they handle this function. Test from an SLT to determine the sequence.
• Reconnect Sequence on Refused Call:
Tells the VPS how to return to the caller if the called extension's owner has enabled Call
Screening to not take the call. PBXs differ in how they handle this function. Test from an
SLT to determine the sequence.
• Light On Sequence for Message Waiting Lamp:
This is the dialing sequence that the VPS must use to turn on a message waiting lamp at an
extension.
• Light Off Sequence for Message Waiting Lamp:
This is the dialing sequence that the VPS must use to turn off a message waiting lamp at an
extension.
• Call Waiting Sequence:
This sequence is carried out by the VPS to perform call waiting when the called extension
is busy. PBXs differ in how they handle this function. Test from an SLT to determine the
sequence.
• Release Sequence for Call Waiting:
This sequence is carried out by the VPS to release call waiting. PBXs differ in how they
handle this function. Test from an SLT to determine the sequence.
Inband Signaling
These parameters are used when the Integration Mode is set to Inband. If the PBX type is set
to a KX-T series system, these parameters will be automatically set. If another type PBX is
used, check that system's installation manual for settings.

Digit Translation Table Parameters
These parameters allow PBXs that have a fixed Follow-on ID sequence to be used with the
VPS. For example, a Follow-on ID sequence of [
1001] can be changed to [#61001] by
using these parameters.
• Inter-Digit Time-Out: This parameter defines the interval of incoming signals (Followon ID) from the PBX to the VPS. The Digit Translation Table applies the digits received
within this time to translation.
• Input-Output (up to 8 alphanumeric characters): When the system receives digits
within the inter-digit time, it checks them against the input table. If they are found, the
system utilizes the output digits in their place.
The remainder of this section consists of step-by-step guides for software verification
and programming of the recommended Panasonic PBX systems.

3.3.2
KX-T123211D Software Verification and Programming for
Inband Integration
1. Check the software version of the KX-T123211D by using System Program [98], which
shows the software version number:Y201Z940430(TM3)
The underlined digits represent the software production date code (format YYMMDD). In
this example, the date code is April 30, 1994 (year, month, day). For this software version,
the software production date of the PBX must be April 30, 1994, or later.
If the software production date of the PBX is earlier than 4/30/94, call National Parts
Center (1-800-833-9626) to order a software upgrade.
2. Enable System Program [80] for each extension connected to the VPS.
This parameter is used to tell the KX-T123211D which extensions are connected to the
VPS. Ports with this parameter enabled can receive Follow-on ID and DTMF call status
signaling (busy, answered, disconnect, etc.) if the Voice Mail integration and DTMF
integration features are also enabled.
3. Enable System Program [81] to turn on DTMF Integration. On extensions with the Voice
Mail port parameter enabled, the KX-T123211D can send codes (touchtones) to indicate
call states; this increases VPS efficiency. Codes apply to all transferred calls; outside calls
only indicate disconnect (provided the KX-T123211D is programmed for CPC detection
and the Central Office sends the CPC signal). Refer to the Table 10 in the Section
3.2.4 PBX Interface Parameters.
Installation Manual
51
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
4. Put all extensions connected to the VPS into 1 extension group using System Program [60].
Reserve this extension group for these extensions! Do not mix other extensions into this
group.
5. Enable hunting for the VPS extension group using System Program [08].
6. Set the hunting type for the VPS extension group to circular using System Program [09].
7. At every VPS extension, temporarily connect an SLT or butt set, go off-hook and dial
7301# to turn on Data Line Security. This prevents the KX-T123211D from sending
Executive Override or Call Waiting tones to these extensions. We recommend that all Voice
Mail port extensions have this feature enabled to avoid interruption of recording.
8. At every user’s extension, go off-hook and dial 7192#. This sets the proper Follow-on ID
sequences so that forwarded calls go directly to the extension’s mailbox. The KXT123211D automatically sends the extension’s digits to the Voice Mail port before
connecting the caller.
For Follow-on ID to work:
• Ports connected to the VPS must be assigned as Voice Mail ports.
• Extensions must be forwarded to the first port of the Voice Mail (using the Busy/No
Answer mode or the All Calls mode).
• The mailbox number should be the same as the extension number.
Interaction with other features:
• Call Forwarding—If the extension is forwarded to an extension that is also
forwarded, the forwarding will not work.
• Call Hunting—Hunting does not interfere with Follow-on ID.
• Call Transfer—Calls transferred to an extension with Follow-on ID and call
forwarding enabled will be forwarded directly to the mailbox.
• Data Line Security—We recommend that all Voice Mail port extensions have this
feature enabled to avoid interruption of recording by Executive Override tone or Call
Waiting tone.
9. Select the appropriate outside (CO) Line feature settings depending on how your customer
plans to use the VPS: A) to answer all incoming calls, B) as an operator backup, or C) to
only answer calls not answered by user extensions.
Recommended outside (CO) line feature settings:
a) If the VPS is answering all incoming calls:
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Use System Programs [51] and [52] to set this
parameter. Program all lines DIL to the first extension of the Voice Mail hunt group.
The KX-T123211D will allow incoming CO calls to hunt only if the outside (CO)
lines are DIL to the first port of the hunt group. Lines programed as "Normal" do not
hunt.
52
Installation Manual
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
b) If the VPS is only answering calls not answered by the operator (Operator Backup):
Flexible Ringing Assignment—For each outside (CO) line, use System Programs
[47] (Day Mode) and [48] (Night Mode) to enable ringing at the operator’s extension
(jack).
Delayed Ringing Assignment—To give the operator time to answer the call before
the VPS picks up, we recommend setting the delay to 3 or 4 rings for each extension
connected to the VPS. Use System Programs [49] (Day Mode) and [50] (Night
Mode).
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Set the mode for each outside (CO) line to "Normal".
Use System Programs [51] and [52] to set this parameter.
c) If the VPS is only answering calls not answered by user extensions:
Flexible Ringing Assignment—For each outside (CO) line, use System Programs
[47] (Day Mode) and [48] (Night Mode) to enable ringing on every extension (jack)
that you want to have ring.
Delayed Ringing Assignment—To give users time to answer the call before the
VPS picks up, we recommend setting the delay to 3 or 4 rings for each extension
connected to the VPS. Use System Programs [49] (Day Mode) and [50] (Night
Mode).
CO Mode—Set the mode for each outside (CO) line to "Normal". Use System
Programs [51] and [52] to set this parameter.
3.3.3
KX-TA Series Programming for Inband Integration via the
Manager’s Extension
Note
If your PBX is the KX-TA1232, please refer to the procedure described in 3.3.4 KXTD816, KX-TD1232, KX-TA1232 and KX-TD308 Programming for Inband Integration via
the Manager’s Extension or 3.3.5 KX-TD816, KX-TD1232, and KX-TA1232 Programming
for Inband Integration via the Operating and Maintenance Tool for programming.
1. Enable System Program [102] for each extension connected to the VPS. Jack 07, or jacks
07 and 08 can be assigned for the VPS1 as the Voice Mail port. Jack 15, or jacks 15 and 16
can be assigned for the VPS2.
This parameter is used to tell the KX-TA series which extensions are connected to the VPS.
Ports with this parameter enabled can receive Follow-on ID and touchtone call status
Signaling (busy, answered, disconnect, etc.) if the Voice Mail integration and Touchtone
Integration features are also enabled.
2. Enable System Program [103] to turn on Touchtone Integration. On extensions with the
Voice Mail port parameter enabled, the KX-TA series can send codes (touchtones) to
indicate call states; this increases VPS efficiency. Codes apply to all transferred calls;
outside calls only indicate disconnect (provided the KX-TA series is programmed for CPC
Detection, and the Central Office sends the CPC signal). Refer to the Table 10 in Section
3.2.4 PBX Interface Parameters.
Installation Manual
53
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
3. Put all extensions connected to the VPS into 1 extension group using System Program
[600].
Reserve this extension group for these extensions! Do not mix other extensions into this
group.
Note
Up to two VPS units can be connected to the KX-TA624. When two VPS units are
connected to the KX-TA624, 2 different extension groups should be assigned for each
VPS in System Program [600]. One extension group is for jack 07, or jacks 07 and 08 of
the KX-TA624. The other extension group is for jack 15, or jacks 15 and 16.
4. Enable hunting for the VPS extension groups using System Program [100].
5. Set the hunting type for the VPS extension groups to circular using System Program [101].
6. At every VPS extension, temporarily connect an SLT or butt set, go off-hook and dial
7301# to turn on Data Line Security. This prevents the KX-TA series from sending
Executive Override or Call Waiting tones to these extensions. We recommend that all Voice
Mail port extensions have this feature enabled to avoid interruption of recording.
7. Select the appropriate outside (CO) line feature settings depending on how your customer
plans to use the VPS: A) to answer all incoming calls, B) as an operator backup, or C) to
only answer calls not answered by user extensions.
Recommended outside (CO) line feature settings:
a) If the VPS is answering all incoming calls:
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Use System Programs [414] (Day Mode), [415] (Night
Mode), [416] (Lunch Mode) to set this parameter. Program all lines DIL to the first
extension of the Voice Mail hunt group. The KX-TA series will allow incoming
outside calls to hunt only if the outside (CO) lines are DIL to the first port of the hunt
group. Lines programmed as "Normal" do not hunt.
b) If the VPS is only answering calls not answered by the operator (Operator Backup):
Flexible Ringing Assignment—For each outside (CO) line, use System Programs
[408] (Day Mode), [409] (Night Mode) and [410] (Lunch Mode) to enable ringing at
the operator’s extension (jack).
Delayed Ringing Assignment—To give the operator time to answer the call before
the VPS picks up, we recommend setting the delay to a few seconds for each
extension connected to the VPS. Use System Programs [411] (Day Mode), [412]
(Night Mode) and [413] (Lunch Mode).
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Set the mode for each outside (CO) line to "Normal".
Use System Programs [414] (Day Mode), [415] (Night Mode) and [416] (Lunch
Mode) to set this parameter.
c) If the VPS is only answering calls not answered by user extensions:

CAUTION
DO NOT create a mailbox in both VPS for the same extension. Each extension can have a
maximum of 1 mailbox in either VPS. The extension should assign a Voice Mail extension
from the VPS which contains its mailbox as the destination for Call Forwarding and Voice
Mail Transfer. DO NOT assign a Voice Mail extension from the other VPS. For example, if
jack 06 (extension 106) has its mailbox in the VPS1, assign extension 107 or 108 as the
destination, not extension 115 or 116 (see the following diagram).

4.1
GUIDELINES FOR DIGITAL INTEGRATION
4.1.1
Why Digital Integration is Important
The VPS 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 VPS 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
from and why a call is forwarded, and recognize what the caller wants to do. This
communication allows features that are only available with Digital Integration—several of
which are described below:
Table 13
DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
66
Remote Call Forwarding Set
(DPT Integration only)
The subscribers and the Message Manager can
program their extensions from a remote location to
forward various types of calls to a desired extension or
an outside telephone.
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 or intercept if required.
Two-Way Recording
Extension users can record conversations into their
own mailboxes by pressing one button.
Two-Way Transfer
Extension users can record conversations into another
person’s mailbox by pressing a button and dialing an
extension number.
Direct Mailbox Access
The subscriber can directly enter his mailbox when he
calls the VPS. He does not have to dial his mailbox
number.
Trunk Service
(Universal Port)
Each PBX trunk (CO line) group can be assigned one
of 4 incoming call services: Voice Mail Service,
Automated Attendant Service, Interview Service and
Custom Service.
Installation Manual
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TA SERIES PBX AND KX-TD SERIES PBX
Table 13
DIGITAL INTEGRATION FEATURES
Intercom Paging*
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)*
The VPS announces the prerecorded Caller ID callers’
names when: (1) extension users listen to messages
from assigned numbers left in their mailboxes, (2) the
VPS transfers calls from assigned numbers to the
users, and (3) the VPS pages the users by intercom.
If the same Caller ID number is programmed for both
system and personal caller name announcements, the
VPS will use the personal caller name.
Caller ID Call Routing*
The VPS automatically sends calls from pre-assigned
Caller ID numbers to the desired extension, mailbox
or Custom Service.
Personal Greeting for Caller ID* Each subscriber can record up to 4 personal greeting
messages for special callers.
Time Synchronization
(DPT Integration only)
*
Whenever the PBX sets a new date and time or when
DPT Integration is established, the data is
automatically registered in the VPS.
Caller ID Note 1: When an incoming outside call reaches the VPS via the
PBX, the VPS will wait about 2 rings before answering the call to receive the
Caller ID information properly from the PBX.
This waiting time can be changed by using the WCID command (see
7.2.20 Wait for Caller ID (WCID) in 7.2 UTILITY COMMANDS).
Caller ID Note 2: In the documentation for the KX-TD816/1232 series PBX,
the Caller ID feature is called CLIP (Calling Line Identification
Presentation).
Note
Depending on the model and/or the software version of the connected PBX (see 3.1.1 APT/
DPT or Inband Signaling?), you may not be able to utilize some of the features listed above.
For more information, call National Parts Center at 1-800-833-9626.

4.2.1
CONNECTING THE VPS WITH THE
PANASONIC KX-TA624
KX-TA624 Software Verification and Programming for
Digital Integration via the Manager’s Extension
It is important that the KX-TA624 has the proper software level to allow Digital Integration
with the VPS. Follow the procedures below to confirm the software level, then complete the
required programming before starting up the VPS.
All of the following procedures must be done after entering system programming. Refer
to the KX-TA624 Installation Manual for instructions on how to enter the system
programming mode.
Software Verification
1. Check the software version of the KX-TA624 using System Program [998].
Example: Y581AYYMMDD(M)
The underlined digits represent the software production date code (year, month, day). For
Digital Integration, the software version of the PBX must be Y581A or higher.
If the software version of the PBX is lower than this, call National Parts Center (1-800833-9626) to order a software upgrade.
From the SYS-PGM NO ? screen:
a) Enter [998].
b) Press the NEXT button (SP-PHONE). The system displays the ROM version and the
date it was created.
This version must be Y581A or higher for Digital Integration to be utilized.
2. Set the date and time using System Program [000].
Date and time are automatically synchronized between the VPS and the Panasonic KXTA624 during Auto Configuration or Quick Setup.
3. Set PBX extension numbering using System Program [009].
4. Assign the Voice Mail Port. This program tells the PBX which jacks will be connected to
the VPS. This allows the PBX to send the proper Digital Integration information to those
ports. Jack 07, or jacks 07 and 08 can be assigned for the VPS1 as the Voice Mail Port. Jack
15, or jacks 15 and 16 can be assigned for the VPS2.
• KX-TVS50 (2 ports): assign max. 2 jacks

To assign 1 jack, skip this step.
e) Press STORE.
f) Press END (HOLD).
Conditions:
The lowest jack (jack 07 or jack 15) entered here must
be connected to the Port 1 of the VPS.
To change the current assignment from "Port 7" to
"Port 7 & 8", you must first change it to "Disable".
Likewise, if you want to change it from "Port 7 & 8" to
"Port 7", you must first change it to "Disable". If the
current assignment is already "Disable", you can make
a change in 1 step. This condition also applies to System
Program [131].
When "Port 7 & 8" is selected in program [130],
extension jack numbers 07 and 08 will be in extension
group 7 automatically. Likewise, when "Port 15 & 16"
is selected in program [131], extension jack numbers 15
and 16 will be in extension group 8 automatically. Also
the Station Hunting type is set as "Circular"
automatically in each of these 2 extension groups.
5. Select the appropriate outside (CO) Line feature settings depending on how your customer
plans to use the VPS: A) to answer all incoming calls, B) as an operator backup, or C) to
only answer calls not answered by user extensions.
Installation Manual
69
INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TA SERIES PBX AND KX-TD SERIES PBX
Recommended Outside (CO) Line feature settings:
a) If the VPS is answering all incoming calls:
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Use System Programs [414] (Day Mode), [415] (Night
Mode), [416] (Lunch Mode) to set this parameter. Program all lines DIL to the first
extension of the Voice Mail hunt group. The KX-TA624 will allow incoming outside
calls to hunt only if the outside (CO) lines are DIL to the first port of the hunt group.
Lines programmed as "Normal" do not hunt.
b) If the VPS is only answering calls not answered by the operator (Operator Backup):
Flexible Ringing Assignment—For each outside (CO) line, use System Programs
[408] (Day mode), [409] (Night Mode) and [410] (Lunch Mode) to enable ringing at
the operator’s extension (jack).
Delayed Ringing Assignment—To give the operator time to answer the call before
the VPS picks up, we recommend setting the delay to 3 or 4 rings for each extension
connected to the VPS. Use System Programs [411] (Day Mode), [412] (Night Mode)
and [413] (Lunch Mode).
Outside (CO) Line Mode—Set the mode for each outside (CO) line to "Normal".
Use System Programs [414] (Day Mode), [415] (Night Mode) and [416] (Lunch
Mode) to set this parameter.

Cause
Action
The PBX is not a correct type. Since the VPS is
configured to communicate with the default
PBX type (the KX-TA series under APT
Integration), this message will always appear
when connecting to another type of PBX.
Connect a correct PBX and set
the PBX type by using Quick
Setup (see Section 5
CUSTOMIZING THE
SYSTEM).
The cabling between the PBX extension ports
and the VPS is not 4-wire or is improperly
connected.

CAUTION
When 2 VPSs are connected to the KX-TA624, the following 2 procedures should be done to
make the VPSs work correctly.
1. Delete a mailbox in either VPS so that each extension has only ONE MAILBOX.
After Auto Configuration has been executed, an extension has a mailbox in both
VPS1 and VPS2. However each extension can have a maximum of 1 mailbox in
either VPS. To delete a mailbox, Type [D] (Delete) in the "Make (Make/Delete)"
field (see "Step 4 Creating Mailboxes" in 5.1.3 Starting the Quick Setup).
The extension should assign a Voice Mail extension from the VPS which contains
its mailbox as the destination for Call Forwarding and Voice Mail Transfer. DO
NOT assign a Voice Mail extension from the other VPS. For example, if jack 06

and Programming for DPT Integration via the Operating and Maintenance Tool) are for the
KX-TD1232 as examples. Please refer to them for the KX-TD816 or KX-TA1232.
• And the following Section (4.3.3 KX-TD308 Software Verification and Programming for
DPT Integration via the Manager’s Extension) is for the KX-TD308.
4.3.1
KX-TD1232 Software Verification and Programming for DPT
Integration via the Manager’s Extension
It is important that the KX-TD1232 has the proper software level to allow DPT Integration with
the VPS. Follow the procedures below to confirm the software level, then complete the
required programming before starting up the VPS.
Note
Two methods of programming are available on the KX-TD1232. The instructions below
show how to program without the operating and maintenance tool. For instructions on
programming with the operating and maintenance tool, please see 4.3.2 KX-TD1232
Software Verification and Programming for DPT Integration via the Operating and
Maintenance Tool.
All of the following procedures must be done after entering system programming. Refer
to the KX-TD1232 Programming Guide or Installation Manual for instructions on how
to enter the system programming mode.
Software Verification
1. Verify Software—If you are configuring a 2-cabinet system, remember to check both
cabinets. The software must be the same in each. Check the software version of the KXTD1232 using System Program [116].
Example: P231UYMMDDA
The underlined digits represent the software production date code (year, month, day). For
DPT Integration, the software version of the PBX must be P231U or higher.
(For KX-TD816, the version must be P301O or higher; for KX-TA1232, the version must
be P831AA or higher.)
74

d) Press STORE.
e) Press END (HOLD) when finished.
Conditions:
Jack 01 cannot be used as a Voice Mail port. A jack
programmed as a Manager Extension (System Program
[006]) cannot be used in this program.
5. Skip this step unless setting flexible numbering.
System Program [118] (Voice Mail Extension Number Assignment) is automatically set.
This program allows you to assign an extension number to each Voice Mail port. Since
a jack connected to the VPS provides 2 extensions, this enables you to assign extension
numbers to each port. You can assign any extension number that is not already assigned
to another port. To reach the VPS, users dial these extension numbers. It is not necessary
to change the default programming for the extensions 165 and 166.

Remedy
The PBX is not a correct type. Since the VPS is
configured to communicate with the default
PBX type (the KX-TA series under APT
Integration), this message will always appear
when connecting to another type of PBX.
Connect a correct PBX and set
the PBX type by using Quick
Setup (see Section 5
CUSTOMIZING THE
SYSTEM).
The cabling between the PBX extension ports
and the VPS is not 4-wire or is improperly
connected.
Confirm the cabling is

Live Call Screening (LCS) Programming
LCS notifies subscribers of incoming messages to their mailboxes. The notification method is
programmable for hands-free or private. Hands-free allows the user to monitor a recording
through the speakerphone and, if desired, intercept the call by lifting the handset. The private
mode notifies the user with an alert tone when a message is being recorded. By pressing the
LCS button, the user can monitor the message and intercept the call by going off-hook. System
Programming also determines whether the mailbox continues to record after the user intercepts
the call.

PORT SETTING OPTIONS
Design each system according to the needs of your customer. You should be familiar with all
options for port assignment so that customers get exactly what they need and expect. Each port
can be assigned as Voice Mail, Interview Service, Automated Attendant, or Custom Service.
Custom Service is the most flexible of all the services because it allows access to the other
services by pressing one key. We recommend programming all ports as Custom Service for
caller convenience.
5.2.1
Custom Service Setting Example
Custom Service incorporates all features of the Automated Attendant and Voice Mail. Custom
Service offers callers a menu of single digits that they may use to reach the desired location
quickly and easily.
Sample Custom Service Message
"If you know the extension number of the person you are calling, you can dial it at any time.
For a list of extensions, Press [1]; to reach the sales section, Press [2]; to reach the service
section, Press [3]; if you would like to place an order, Press [4]; all other callers, please wait
and an operator will be right with you".
Sample Custom Service Tree
Create a tree to design a route that leads callers to the desired extension, mailbox, or next menu.
This tree should include all available caller options and cannot be deeper than 8 layers.
Moreover, callers cannot jump between Custom Service menus more than 8 times. Discuss
available options with the customer before programming the system.
Custom Service

Main Greeting
all ports day
Custom 2
Extension List

New Cars

Transfer

Used Cars
The top of the tree should include what callers will hear when they are first connected to the
VPS. Then create a branch for each option until each caller option has been documented. Next,
fill in each box with the action that it represents so you can easily remember what action
corresponds to each keystroke.
Remember that it is possible and often necessary to have 1 custom service lead to another
104
Installation Manual
CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM
custom service. For example, if someone presses [1] for sales, you might want another menu
to say "for new car sales, press [1]; for used car sales, press [2]". This way, callers are routed
directly to the person best suited to handle them.
Sample Custom Service for Foreign Languages
If you are an airline or travel agency, your callers might not be fluent in English. You can easily
accommodate several languages with Custom Service. For example, each key on the keypad
(there are 12 keys) could be assigned to a language. Record Custom Service Menu 100 so that
the caller can select a language with one-touch dialing. For example, the top menu could be:
"For English, press 1. For French, press 2. For Spanish, press 3. For German, press 4. For
Japanese, press 5. For Chinese, press 6... etc." (of course, selections should be recorded in
their respective languages).
At the next level, create menus in each language for Day Mode. For example, Custom Service
Menu 2 (the one for English callers) might be: "For departure information, press 1. For arrival
information, press 2. For reservations, press 3. To leave a message, press 4. To send a fax, press
5". Thus at this level (or at an even lower level) a caller can be guided in his native tongue to
the right person (extension), the right message-taker (mailbox), or the right device (fax
machine).
In parallel, create menus in each language for Night, Lunch, and Break Modes. For example,
Custom Service Menu 16 for Night Mode might be: "Sorry, we are closed for the day. Our
regular business hours are from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. If you would like to
leave a message, press 1 now. If you would like to send a fax, press 2 now". Record a similar
message for the other languages in each mode.
5.2.2
Custom Service Features
Time Service (1-5-2-2)
Set each day of the week for the correct Day, Night, Lunch, or Break Mode.
Intercom Paging (1-5-7-7)
This feature is only available with Digital Integration.
When needed, change the paging code for each of the paging groups.
Example for KX-TD1232: All sales telephones have been placed in extension group 3 in
system program [602]. No hunting type assigned in system program [106]. Assign each
salesperson’s mailbox to a different COS in the VPS and assign the paging group to that
COS. (This tells the VPS which paging group to dial). In the Intercom paging section, assign
the number "333" to the paging group assigned to the sales dept.
Installation Manual
105
CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM
Fax Management (1-5-7-8)
Assigns up to 2 fax machines that can be extensions from the PBX. If the CNG tone is heard,
the VPS will automatically forward the call to the first fax machine. If the first fax machine is
busy or does not answer (is out of paper), the VPS forwards the call to the second fax machine.
This also allows to assign an extension as the fax manager to be notified on incoming faxes.
Disconnect Parameter (1-5-7-9)
Determines how many seconds of silence the VPS allows during a caller’s message before
disconnecting the call.
RS-232C Settings (1-6-1)
Allows the System Administrator to change the baud rate, parity bit, etc.
Port Setting (1-6-2)
Only to be used when connecting the VPS to a PBX other than a KX-T series PBX. Use the
CPC control of the PBX for normal disconnect problems.
Dialing Parameters (1-6-3-1)
These parameters are set automatically when Quick Setup is conducted.
Most of the settings will be left unchanged. The only setting that will be changed quite often
is the Transfer Sequence for the operator or the extension. By default, it is set at FX on APT/
DPT Integration and FTX for Inband Integration. In other words, the voice processor dials the
flash, waits for intercom tone and dials the extension number. By default, the VPS will stay on
the line to monitor the status of the call. If the extension user answers, the voice processor will
announce "you have a call" prior to releasing the call. This can be alleviated by adding the
letter "A" or "D" to the sequence. "A" stands for answer; the call will be transferred without
the announcement "you have a call". For a blind or unscreened transfer, add the letter "D" for
disconnect.
5.2.3

After you have finished constructing the tree, enter the System Programming Custom Service

5.2.6
Voice Mail
Voice Mail service is a message-taking service that allows non-subscribers to leave messages
to subscribers. This service is often assigned when incoming calls are answered by a live
person. This person can then send the caller to the Voice Mail service if desired.
Callers can access Voice Mail service by:
• Voice Mail Port—This service can be programmed independently of any or all ports of
the VPS. Callers reaching these ports immediately access Voice Mail service.
• Voice Mail Trunk—This service can be programmed on a per trunk (CO line) basis.
Callers reaching these trunks (CO lines) immediately access Voice Mail service.
110
Installation Manual
CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM
• Service Access Command—A caller can switch to Voice Mail service by dialing [#6]
during a call.
• Via Custom Service—This service can be assigned to a keypad digit within a Custom
Service. After pressing this key, the caller enters Voice Mail service.
5.2.7
Mailbox Groups
This program allows a message to be delivered to several mailboxes at once. The message
activates the message waiting lamps on all of the proprietary telephones. These mailboxes may
be assembled into a list called a System Group Distribution List. The Message Manager can
record a voice label for each System Group Distribution List (see D6 RECORDING
MESSAGES). There are 20 group lists available, and each group list can have up to 20 entries.
To establish a mailbox group:
1. From the System Administration Top Menu, Type [1-5-1-1-1]
(Program-System Parameter-System Group Assignment-Mailbox Group-Enter).
2. Assign a List Number to the Mailbox Group. This number can be from 2-5 digits (same as
mailbox numbers). This number must be an unused number. In other words, the number
assigned to this group cannot be the same as another System Group Distribution List
number or mailbox number. For example, we will use the number 250.
There are 2 ways to use a System Group Distribution List:
Option A:
For inside messages: The System Group Distribution List number can be designed so
that any subscriber can press [2] and then enter the list number (which is [250] in this
example) to deliver a message. The message will be delivered to all specified mailboxes.
Option B:
For outside messages: The System Group Distribution List number can be designed as
a custom greeting for incoming callers. For instance, the greeting might be: "To leave a
message for the parts section, press 3". The digit "3" would be assigned to System
Group Distribution List number 250 in Custom Service Setting.
Each message waiting lamp will remain on until the message is cleared from the
individual station.
5.2.8
Extension Groups
An extension group places several extensions into the same mailbox. These extensions may be
assembled into a list called a Extension Group List. The extensions in the group list cannot
have a personal mailbox! When a message is left in this mailbox, it lights all of the message
waiting lamps of the phones that are in this group list. There are 20 group lists available, and
each group list can have up to 20 entries.
When a message is left for the extension group, it will light the message waiting lamps on each
phone. The first person that retrieves the call cancels the message waiting lamp on the other
Installation Manual
111
CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM
phones. Extension groups work well in areas where the call would not be intended for a specific
person (e.g., a Parts Center, Technical Support Group, etc.).
To establish an extension group:
1. From the System Administration Top Menu, Type [1-5-1-2-1]
(Program-System Parameter-System Group Assignment-Extension Group-Enter).
2. Enter an Extension Group List Number that has not been assigned to another mailbox or
Extension Group List (this must be a vacant number). Enter the Extensions that are to be
assigned to this group list.
3. Enter the Extension Numbers that are to be assigned to the Extension Group List.
4. Return to the Main Program Menu.
5. Type [1-1-1]
(Program-Mailbox Setting-Enter/Edit).
Assign the Extension Group List Number to a mailbox. If you used the number "700" for
an Extension Group List number, assign the number "700" as a new mailbox. You must also
enter 700 as an extension.
Messages can be delivered to the new number through normal operation.
5.2.9
Interview Service
The subscriber can leave a series of prerecorded questions (up to 10) for the caller in an
Interview Mailbox. As the caller answers questions, answers are recorded in the mailbox. After
a caller records the answers, the interview mailbox lights a message waiting lamp. When
retrieving the messages, the subscriber only hears the answers to the questions.
There are 2 ways to access an interview mailbox:
• Assign an interview mailbox to an existing mailbox
• Assign a port as an interview mailbox
To structure an interview mailbox:
1. From the System Administration Top Menu, Type [1-1-1 Mailbox Number-1]
(Program-Mailbox Setting-Enter/Edit-Mailbox Number-Mailbox Setting).
2. Enter the Mailbox Number that is to be assigned to the interview mailbox.
This should be an existing mailbox number for the person who responds to the questions.
3. At "Interview Mailbox Number "parameter, Enter a Nonexistent Mailbox Number. This
will be the interview mailbox for this subscriber—please make a written note of it for future
reference. It will not show up in Mailbox Listing. If, at a later time, you want to delete the
interview mailbox, press backspace at "Interview Mailbox Number".
4. Exit System Administration Programming.

normal Voice Mail messages and for message left in the separate interview mailbox.
5.2.10
Automated Attendant
Automated Attendant service answers incoming calls and waits for the caller to input an
extension number. It transfers the caller to the appropriate extension.
Callers can access Automated Attendant Service by:
• Automated Attendant Port—This service can be programmed independently of any or
all ports of the VPS. Callers reaching these ports access Automated Attendant service.
• Service Access Command—A caller can switch to Automated Attendant service by
dialing [#8] during a call.
• Via Custom Service—The call transfer service can be assigned to a keypad digit within
a Custom Service. After pressing this key, the caller enters Automated Attendant Service.
Note:
When the VPS calls an extension, the VPS waits for a reply. This waiting time is established
by "Call Transfer No Answer Time" in Table 61 (B6.7 Other Parameters).
5.2.11
Department Dialing Service
Callers can access extensions by pressing a key 1 through 9 (one-touch dialing). As a guide for
the caller, the Message Manager should record the Department Dialing Menu—for example,
"Thank you for calling. For overseas travel, press 1. For domestic travel, press 2. For group
travel, press 3".
This service can be assigned to a keypad digit within Custom Service; after pressing this key,
the caller will hear the Department Dialing Menu.

Operator Service
This service (when enabled) can be accessed via:
• Voice Mail—Rotary Telephone Service allows rotary callers to reach the General
Delivery Mailbox or Operator Service.
• Automated Attendant—Dial 0 and your call will go to Operator Service.
• Custom Service—The Operator Service can be assigned to a keypad digit within a
Custom Service; after pressing this key, the caller enters Operator Service. Operator
Service can also be the destination of "no-DTMF-input".
Operator Service offers callers many chances to reach a human operator. Operator Service can
be structured as a cascade so that if Operator 1 cannot take the call, it goes to Operator 2. If that
fails, the call goes to Operator 3. If that fails, the caller can record a message. At each stage,
there are other options for busy cases and no-answer cases. Operator Service can be
programmed differently for Day, Night, Lunch, or Break Mode. Each operator can be assigned
a mailbox for message-taking.

TRAINING THE SUBSCRIBER
The System Administrator should explain the basic functions of the VPS to all the subscribers.
He should explain which service (Voice Mail service, Automated Attendant service, Interview
Service, or a Custom service) will play during the day, and what services will play during night,
lunch, and breaks. He should explain that outside callers are called "non-subscribers" because
they do not have mailboxes. VPS guidance prompts will assist non-subscribers in reaching the
extension or mailbox they need. He should explain the responsibilities of the System
Administrator, the Message Manager, and the System Manager—and how each can be
contacted (phone number and/or mailbox number).
The System Administrator should also explain the special privileges of VPS subscribers.
Subscribers can call from any touchtone telephone in the world and get their messages. To
check messages (or change mailbox parameters) from an outside telephone, do the following:
As soon as the VPS plays a guidance message, Press code [# 6 ] and then the mailbox
number. For example, a subscriber who has extension 115 and mailbox 115 would press
code [# 6 115]. If the subscriber has a password enabled, the password must be entered.
If the subscriber forgets his password, he should contact either the System Administrator or the
System Manager. Either one can clear the password so that the subscriber can establish a new
password.
Explain the purpose of the General Delivery Mailbox. The Message Manager will periodically
check it, and forward the contents to the appropriate subscriber.
Explain the purpose of the System Group Distribution Lists. They can be created by the System
Administrator to facilitate the distribution of messages to several subscribers. In particular,
senior staff members ought to know how to take advantage of System Group Distribution Lists.
Twenty lists can be created, with 20 mailboxes in each list.
Finally, if Custom Service menus are used, subscribers should be encouraged to listen to these
menus often and make suggestions for improvement. Custom service is a very powerful feature
of the Panasonic VPS. Make the most out of this feature.

command for all the data selected. When performing this operation, always wait until the
process completion indication appears.
WARNING
Never save (back-up) and upload the "Program" without Panasonic Technical support.
The memory required to save each data component is indicated below.
1. Program—approximately 1 Mbytes (See Warning above)
2. Parameters—approximately 0.4 Mbyte (System Configuration)
3. System Prompts—approximately 5 Mbytes (Do not save—prompts are

allows a subscriber to send a message to

the receiver to reply to the message without
having to specify the mailbox number.
If the sender wishes, he can require the
receiver to enter a 4-digit password to receive
the sender's message. If the receiver enters
the password incorrectly 3 times, the VPS: (1)
plays the Callback Telephone Number (if
registered), and (2) plays the sender's
extension (if both the Callback Telephone
Number and the Extension of the Owner have
been registered). With this information, the
receiver can possibly track down the message
even if he does not remember the password.

Specifies the destination to which the call will be
transferred. The "Extn." setting (enter "E") enables
callers to be transferred directly to their intended party
by dialing the extension number. The "Mbx" setting
(enter "M") enables callers to leave messages in a
mailbox by entering the mailbox number. The "No"
setting (enter "N") disables extension transfer and
mailbox transfer; only 1-digit entries work (following
the Custom Service menu).
Note: This parameter should be set to "No" when
Subscriber Service is specified as a Custom Service
option and it is desired that digits can be entered very
quickly to specify a mailbox. Therefore, in most cases,
"No" is the best setting for this parameter. This is

Specifies the first 1 or 2 digits of the PBX extension
numbers. You can add up to 16 entries to the list. Each entry
can contain 2-5 digits "0-9", and a letter "X" which matches
any digit. Extension numbers cannot begin with "0".
Examples:
a) If valid PBX extension numbers are to be specified 101
through 164 and 201 through 264, specify the numbers
as follows:
1XX: Indicates any 3-digit extension number starting
with "1".
2XX: Indicates any 3-digit extension number starting
with "2".
b) If valid PBX extension numbers are to be specified 400
through 450 and 3300 through 3399, specify the
numbers as follows:
4XX: Indicates any 3-digit extension number starting
with "4".
33XX: Indicates any 4-digit extension starting with
"33".
Note:
Auto Configuration will set this parameter automatically.
The Automated Attendant will dial any 2-5 digit PBX
extension number (except numbers beginning with "0")
whether valid or not. If the dialed number is included in the
numbering plan, the Automated Attendant will
immediately send it to the PBX without waiting for further
input. If not, the Automated Attendant will wait until the
dialed number is recognized as an extension number, the
internal inter-digit timer expires, or the caller dials 5 digits.
If the number for an outgoing call is not found on the
Numbering Plan, the VPS will consider it an outside
number. The VPS will then attempt to dial it using the
"Outgoing Call Setup Sequence".

Example:
If the PBX requires callers to dial "9" to access an
outside (CO) line, this parameter should be set as "1".
This enables the system to recognize that an outgoing
call setup sequence is completed once the initial "9"
has been dialed (9-123-4567). The full sequence is
therefore: 9-(outgoing call setup sequence)-123-4567.
The VPS can discriminate between local and long

times for billing purposes on periodic port usage
reports.

Use these parameters if the PBX sends touchtones to the VPS to indicate the state of a call
(busy, answered, disconnected, etc.). The integration mode must be set to "Inband". If PBX
type is set to a KX-T series telephone system, the Inband Signaling parameters will
automatically default to the proper codes.
To access the proper menu for Inband Signaling Parameters, follow the menu path
as shown:

CHANGING THE SERVICE MODE SETTING
The VPS automatically activates the appropriate call handling method according to the Time
Service setting (Day, Night, Lunch, and Break Services); however, the System Manager or
System Administrator can change the current call handling method by selecting a specific
Service Mode.
Once the Service Mode has been changed, it is retained unless the System Manager or System
Administrator changes it again, even after the power is cut and restored.
Note
While the System Administrator programs via a personal computer, the System Manager
cannot change the Service Mode setting. The VPS plays "Sorry, this function is not
available".
Assigning the Service Mode
There are 6 Service Modes available:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Automatic Mode: Operates according to the setting in Time Service (default)
Manual Day Mode: Operates only in Day Mode
Manual Night Mode: Operates only in Night Mode
Manual Lunch Mode: Operates only in Lunch Mode
Manual Break Mode: Operates only in Break Mode
PBX Control Mode: Operation changes depending on PBX time period (available only
with APT/DPT Integration)
In the Automatic Mode, services have this order of priority:
Holiday Service > Caller ID Call Routing > Trunk Service > Port Service
(Holiday service has the highest priority.)
In the Manual Modes (Day, Night, Lunch, or Break), Holiday Service is disregarded:
Caller ID Call Routing > Trunk Service > Port Service
(Holiday Service is disregarded.)
In the PBX Control Mode: (1) under DPT Integration, the VPS obtains the Time Service (Day,
Night, Lunch or Break) setting from the PBX when a call is received through a PBX and
operates accordingly; (2) under APT Integration, the VPS obtains the Time Service setting
from the PBX when the time period changes at the PBX or APT data link has been established
between the VPS and PBX.
When the Integration Mode is other than APT/DPT Integration and the PBX Control Mode is
selected, the VPS will operate in the Automatic Mode.

recorded in the Message Manager's Mailbox.
Note
The extension assigned for Operator 1 in the Day Mode is the Message Manager's

RECORDING MESSAGES
The Message Manager is responsible for recording various system messages (specifically:
menus, voice labels, user prompts, and system caller names). He is responsible for maintaining
the following:
• The Department Dialing Menu (maximum length: 6 min)—A caller can access departments
with the touch of one key. Nine Department Dialing selections (1 to 9) can be recorded.
• The Custom Service Menus (maximum length: 6 min each)—Up to 100 custom service
menus can be recorded. These menus guide callers to the services they require without the
need for a human operator. This is the most useful and powerful feature of your Panasonic
Voice Processing System. For example, the Message Manager can record menus in a wide
variety of foreign languages.
• * The Voice Labels (maximum length: 6 min each)—Up to 20 System Group Distribution
Lists can be created by the System Administrator. Each list can have a voice label.
• The User Prompts (maximum length: 6 min each)—There are 3 kinds of voice mail prompts:
(1) System Prompts, (2) User 1 Prompts, and (3) User 2 Prompts. Generally, the System
Prompts should be left alone; they are recorded at the factory in English. However, the
Message Manager can record User 1 Prompts and User 2 Prompts in any language he
wishes.
• The Multilingual Selection Menu (maximum length: 6 min)—With this menu, callers can
select the language they prefer to hear all prompts (mentioned in the previous paragraph,
"The User Prompts"). For example, the Message Manager can record a menu like this:
For English, press (7).
For French, press (8).
For Chinese, press (9).
• * The System Caller Names (maximum length: 4 s each)—Up to 120 Caller ID numbers can
be registered by the System Administrator. The Message Manager is responsible for
recording a name for each Caller ID number.
* While the System Administrator programs via a personal computer, the Message Manager
cannot record the Voice Labels and System Caller Names. The VPS plays "Sorry, this
function is not available".

REMOTE CALL FORWARDING SET
The Message Manager can program his extension (assigned for Operator 1 in the Day Mode)
from a remote location to forward various types of calls to a desired extension or an outside
telephone. There are six forwarding settings available:
• FWD All—Forward all incoming calls to a desired extension number.
• FWD Busy—Forward all incoming calls to a desired extension number when the line is

LIST OF PROMPTS FOR VOICE MAIL AND
AA SERVICE
There are over 900 voice prompts (all listed in the next section) and they come in 3 types.
(1) System Prompts—in English (cannot be modified)
(2) User 1 Prompts—recordable
(3) User 2 Prompts—recordable
However, in many cases it is not necessary to record all the voice prompts (recording over 900
voice prompts is a big undertaking). When an outside party calls AA service or VM service,
he only hears some of the following prompts. Therefore, it is necessary only to record (or
modify) these prompts. Please change prompts as needed for your application. For example,
prompt no. [819] could be "Thank you for calling ABCD Travel", instead of "Welcome to the
Voice Processing System". (The maximum length of a prompt is fixed at 6 min.)

Alternate Extension Group
Transfers the call coming into the extensions in this group following the sequence specified
by "Alternate Extension Transfer Sequence".
APT Integration
Digital Integration between the KX-TA624 and the VPS.
Auto Configuration
(Available with APT/DPT Integration only.) The VPS can automatically draw information
from the KX-TA624, the KX-TD816, the KX-TD1232, the KX-TA1232, or the KX-TD308.
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 unretrieved 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.
Installation Manual
377
Glossary
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 prerecorded Caller ID
callers' names when: (1) extension users listen to messages from pre-assigned numbers left
in the users' 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.
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 non-subscribers.
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.
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 (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.
378
Installation Manual
Glossary

A speed-dialing 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 his mailbox directly
when he calls the VPS from his extension. He does not have to enter any special codes
except for his password, if one is established.
DPT Integration
Digital integration between the VPS and the KX-TD816, the KX-TD1232, the KXTA1232, or the KX-TD308. 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 utilize some of the features available only with DPT Integration. For more
information, call National Parts Center at 1-800-833-9626.
DTMF
(Dual Tone Multi Frequency) Commonly referred to as touchtone.
External Call Forwarding
(Available on the KX-TD816, the KX-TD1232, the KX-TA1232, and the KX-TD308.)
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.
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.

Glossary
Follow-On ID
See Called Party ID.
General Delivery Mailbox
When the caller does not dial anything (either because he does not want to or he is using a
rotary telephone), the VPS sends him 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

paths to light message wait light. Does not give "high end" features such as: Intercom
Paging, Direct Mailbox Access, Live Call Screening, etc.
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,
(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 Signaling, APT Integration and DPT
Integration.

Operator
Up to three destinations can be assigned as operators. This is the extension that receives
calls when the calling party is on a rotary phone or dials [0].
Owner's Name
After a subscriber records his name, the VPS announces his name during transfers,
Intercom Paging, and confirmation of Dialing by Name.
Independent of this recording is registration of name by System Administrator. This allows
callers to dial parties by name (Dialing by Name) rather than by number. For example, a
caller can dial "S-M-I-T" (Smith) rather than Smith's mailbox number, which can be hard
to remember.
Password
A combination of numbers selected by the subscriber to protect access to his mailbox. If
forgotten, the System Administrator or System Manager can clear it so that the subscriber
