INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH THE PANASONIC KX-TD DIGITAL PBX
4.1 GUIDELINES FOR DIGITAL INTEGRATION
4.1.1 Why Digital Integration is Important
The KX-TVS75/100/200 works well with most PBXs because its connections are made
through a standard single line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the communication
between the PBX and VPS is best when Digital Integration is used; the KX-TVS75/100/200 is
already set up to communicate through Digital Integration.
Once Digital Integration is established, the PBX sends information to the VPS through the data
link. This information enables the VPS to identify the extension that is calling, know where a
call is forwarded and why it's forwarded, and recognizes what the caller wants to do. This
communication allows features that are only available with Digital Integration, several of
which are described below.
The KX-TVS75/100/200 System comes from the factory already set up for a KX- TD1232
PBX. When the power is turned on for the first time, the VPS will try to communicate with the
KX-TD1232 through Digital Integration. For this reason, several things should be done before
operating for the first time.

Auto Configuration The VPS knows what extension numbers exist on the
PBX and creates mailboxes for each extension

the PBX clock.
