1.8.3 If a Voice Processing System is Connected

You or an outside party can access the Voice Processing System (VPS) from a telephone.
title2.gif Forwarding Your Calls to a Voice Processing System (Voice Mail Integration)
If your PBX has a Panasonic VPS connected using APT Integration, the following features are also available:
title2.gif Screening Calls (Live Call Screening [LCS])
title2.gif Recording a Conversation (2-way Record)

title2.gif Forwarding Your Calls to a Voice Processing System (Voice Mail Integration)

If you cannot answer calls, you can set them to be forwarded to your mailbox in a Panasonic VPS that supports either Inband (DTMF) Integration (e.g., KX-TVP series VPS) or APT Integration (e.g., KX-TVP50 series VPS). If your telephone has a MESSAGE button or Message/Ringer Lamp, the corresponding button or lamp turns on and lets you know you have messages. A single line telephone (SLT) user will hear dial tone 3 when going off-hook if there are any messages in his or her mailbox.

If your PBX has a Panasonic VPS connected using Inband (DTMF) integration, your PBX automatically sends a special signal to the Voice Mail port before connecting the caller. To enable this feature, it may be necessary to set the signal format required by your VPS before setting the Call Forwarding (FWD) destination to Voice Mail as follows:
Setting A: only sends the extension number to the Voice Mail port. To set or cancel, enter "91#" or "90#" respectively after pressing the FWD/DND button or entering "71".
Setting B (default): sends "#6" followed by the extension number. "#6" is used by a Panasonic KX-TVP series VPS to force the VPS port into voice mail service. To set or cancel, enter "92#" or "90#" respectively after pressing the FWD/DND button or entering "71".
For more details, ask your manager or dealer.

To transfer a call to a mailbox (APT Integration only)

If your VPS supports APT Integration, you can also transfer received outside (CO) line calls to a mailbox so that calling parties can leave messages. If you create a Voice Mail Transfer button on your phone, you can transfer calls to a desired extension without having to enter the mailbox number (Voice Mail Transfer).
The maximum recording time for caller messages depends on the VPS.

If a proprietary telephone (PT) user sets the FWD—Busy/No Answer feature, the FWD/DND button light will keep flashing while on-hook. To stop the button from flashing, go off-hook and enter "716#".
