VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
20 Installation Manual
• 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 KX-
TA624 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.
