2. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
There are two programming interfaces you can use to program the DX-80:
• PC-DBA
• Digital Extension Telephone (DET).
2.1 Using PC-Database Administration (PC-DBA)
The DX-80 system allows you to administer system database parameters using any IBM
®
compatible Personal
Computer (PC).
The use of a PC has distinct advantages over programming the system using the digital telephone, including:
• specific database archiving (via save function),
• remote programming, and
• outboard programming (programming the system template in the PC memory, then downloading it to the
DX-80 switch memory when ready).
The PC program that interfaces with the DX-80 system is called PC-Database Administration (PC-DBA).
PC-DBA requires the following resources in the PC environment:
• PC running DOS.
Note: While you can run PC-DBA in a DOS Window, performance can be impacted by
other Windows modules. Vertical Communications, Inc. does not guarantee or provide warranty for any
level of performance in the Windows environment.
• 640k minimum RAM.
• 386 minimum microprocessor.
• minimum 2 megabytes space on the hard disk.
2.1.1 LOADING PC-DBA SOFTWARE
When you download PC-DBA from the Vertical>Comdial web site it is contained in an archived format to
expedite the download. It is recommended that you perform the following steps when downloading PC-DBA.
1. Create a separate directory on the PC where you can load PC-DBA (typically “DX-80”). This becomes the
working directory.
CAUTION
PC-DBA is available on the Vertical>Comdial Web page
at
This software is not available by any other means.
You must have a well-rounded understanding of the PC environment and the DOS file structure to
use this DX-80 utility. Users who are unfamiliar with these basic requirements cannot be sup-
ported. If any of these issues concern you, program the DX-80 instead by using any DET phone.
