VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

mailbox number when connected to the Voice Mail.
DTMF 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 DTMF tones 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 (DPT) Integration is available when the VPS is connected to a Panasonic KX-TD series
PBX (depending on the software version). This digital integration provides the VPS with more
information than DTMF integration. This information enables the system to identify the
extension number of the caller, know where the call is forwarded from and why, and recognize
what the caller wants to do. Some features are available only with DPT integration (Live Call
Screening, Two-Way Recording, Two-Way Transfer, Direct Mailbox Access, Intercom Paging,
Auto Configuration).
1.3.4 Installer Equipment and Software Requirements
The installer
must
have a laptop computer or data terminal equipped with terminal emulation
software. We suggest you use something like HyperTerminal by HILGRAEVE. The computer
is used to program the VPS. Terminal emulation software enables the keyboard to be used as a
data entry device. The data terminal or terminal emulation software must support ASCII or
VT100 type terminals. It is best to use a VT100 type terminal to program the system.
While both the laptop and data terminal will work, the laptop 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.
