2.3 System Data Control

2.3.1 PC Programming

Description

System programming settings can be accessed using a PC and the Panasonic KX-TE Maintenance Console software as well as by using a proprietary telephone (PT) (rarrow.gif 2.3.2 PT Programming). System programming and data upload/download can be performed either through on-site programming or remote programming.
1. On-site Programming: Programming that is performed using an on-site PC connected directly to the PBX.
2. Remote Programming: Programming that is performed using an off-site PC that connects to the PBX via an outside (CO) line.
1. Connection Methods for On-site Programming

Method

Description

Required Hardware

Serial Interface (RS-232C port)
The PC is connected to the PBX via the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) of the PBX.
USB
The PC is connected to the PBX via the USB port of the PBX.
2. Connection Methods for Remote Programming

Method

Description

Required Hardware

Remote modem
Call the PBX and have the call directed to the internal modem using one of the following methods:

Direct Access: Using a modem, dial the telephone number to connect to the internal modem. To use this feature, "MODEM" must be selected as the distribution method for the desired outside (CO) line port (rarrow.gif CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch [414-416]).

DISA: Using a telephone, dial the telephone number to reach the DISA line (rarrow.gif 1.15.6 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)). After hearing a DISA outgoing message (OGM), enter the Remote Maintenance feature number to access the internal modem. To use this feature, "DISA" must be selected as the distribution method for the desired outside (CO) line port (rarrow.gif CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch [414-416]).

Call Transfer: Using a telephone, call an extension user, such as the operator, to request to be transferred to the internal modem using the Remote Maintenance feature number (rarrow.gif 1.11.1 Call Transfer).
User-supplied modem

Conditions

Only one system programming session is permitted at a time. Access will be denied to a second party who tries to perform system programming, including system programming via a PT.
System programming can be performed either in interactive or batch mode.
System Password
To access system programming in interactive mode, a valid password must be entered. The password is set at the factory but can be changed through system programming (rarrow.gif System Password [002]).
A user can upload system programming data from a PC to the PBX or download it from the PBX to a PC.
If communications between the PBX and PC fail before completing Firmware Upgrade or system programming data upload from a PC to the PBX, the successfully transferred portion of the data can still be used.
Firmware Upgrade can be performed only through on-site programming using Serial Interface (RS-232C port) or USB.

2.3.2 PT Programming

Description

A proprietary telephone (PT) can be used to customise the settings of the PBX or of an extension, using the following programming features:

Programming Type

Description

Example

Authorised Programmer

Personal Programming
Used by an extension user to customise the extension's settings.
One-touch Dialling, Line Preference—Outgoing, etc.
Extension user
System Programming
Used by an authorised party to customise the PBX.
System Password, Extension Number, etc.
Authorised administrator
Manager Programming
Used by the manager to customise 4 system programming settings of the PBX, set a password to each extension, and print out call log information for each extension.
System Speed Dialling Number, Extension Password Set, Call Log Printout for Each Extension, etc.
Manager

Conditions

The manager extension is the extension that is connected to the lowest-numbered jack (jack 01) of the PBX and can therefore perform manager programming.
Only one system programming (including PC programming) or manager programming session is permitted at a time. These 2 programming features cannot be performed simultaneously by 2 users.
During programming, the PT is considered to be busy and will not receive calls.
System Password
To access system programming, the administrator system password must be entered. The system password is set at the factory but can be changed through system programming (rarrow.gif System Password [002]). The administrator can programme all system programming.
Manager Password
To set the manager password, it is necessary to use the system password to perform Extension Password Set. Once set, the manager password can be used to access manager programming.
The manager can assign a password to each extension (extension password).
Personal Programming Data Reset
A PT user can simultaneously reset all settings made through personal programming (Line Preference—Incoming/Outgoing, Call Waiting Tone Type Selection, etc.) to their default settings.
This feature also cancels pressing the AUTO ANS/MUTE button in the Hands-free Answerback feature and the Room Monitor feature.
System Programming Data Reset
The PBX can return all or specific settings made through system programming to their default settings based on the following parameters (rarrow.gif System Data Clear [999]):
a) All para: All data
b) System para: All data except for "CO para", "Extn. para", and "DSS para"
c) CO para: The data assigned for each outside (CO) line
d) Extn. para: The data assigned for each extension
e) DSS para: The data assigned on the Direct Station Selection (DSS) buttons and Programmable Feature (PF) buttons on the DSS Console
f) Speed dial: The System Speed Dialling numbers and names in System Speed Dialling Number [001] and System Speed Dialling Name [011]

2.3.3 Automatic Time Adjustment

Description

The PBX clock can be adjusted automatically according to the time information received from your telephone company. Time information can be received when an incoming call with Caller ID that includes time information is received.
The PBX clock will be adjusted every day with the first call after 3:05 A.M., if enabled through system programming (rarrow.gif Automatic Time Adjustment [152]).
Note
Since the PBX clock is put ahead by one hour on the Summer Time start date, a timed reminder set within one hour of the Automatic Time Adjustment feature will not ring.
Since the PBX clock is put back by one hour on the Summer Time end date, a timed reminder set within one hour before the Automatic Time Adjustment feature will ring 2 times.

Conditions

SMDR will log call information using the PBX clock so that the logging time will be overlapped at the end of Summer Time (rarrow.gif 1.20.1 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)).

2.3.4 Feature Numbering

Description

To call another extension user or to access PBX features, access numbers (extension numbers or feature numbers) are required.
Feature numbers are available while:
1. a dial tone is heard
2. a busy tone or Do Not Disturb (DND) tone is heard
3. dialling or talking
4. on-hook
1. Feature Numbering (available while a dial tone is heard)
Extension numbers and features that are available while a dial tone is heard have fixed numbers and flexible numbers respectively, shown in the following table:
a) Extension Numbers:
The extension numbering plan can be selected through system programming (rarrow.gif Extension Number [009]).
When the extension numbering plan is selected, the default extension numbers change automatically as follows*:
Plan 1/Plan 2: extension jacks 01 through 24—extension numbers 101 through 124
Plan 3: extension jacks 01 through 24—extension numbers 11 through 34
If a rotary single line telephone (SLT) is used at any extension, select "Plan 1".
Note
* For United Kingdom and New Zealand, when the extension numbering plan is selected, the default extension numbers change automatically as follows:
Plan 1/Plan 2: extension jacks 01 through 24—extension numbers 201 through 224
Plan 3: extension jacks 01 through 24—extension numbers 21 through 44
b) Feature Numbers:
When "Plan 2" or "Plan 3" is selected, feature numbers starting with "7" are useable with and without "#" added before "7".

[Example]
The default feature number for setting "Do Not Disturb (DND)" is "714#". "714#" and "#714#" are both available for "Plan 2" and "Plan 3".
To make them easier to remember, it may be helpful to replace the new feature numbers for "Plan 2" and "Plan 3" with the code numbers 50 through 59, through system programming (rarrow.gif Second Feature Numbering Plan [012]).

2.3.5 Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type

Description

The dialling mode (DTMF [Dual Tone Multi-Frequency]/Pulse) of connected outside (CO) lines is automatically assigned after restarting the PBX using the System Clear Switch or through system programming (rarrow.gif System Data Clear [999]). No system programming in Dial Mode [401] and Pulse Speed [402] is required unless the dialling mode of the connected outside (CO) line is Call Blocking. Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type can also be programmed the first time the PBX is accessed with a PC using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software (Quick Setup). For more information about Quick Setup, refer to the Installation Manual (rarrow.gif 3.1.1 Installing KX-TE Maintenance Console on a PC).

Conditions

If no outside (CO) lines are connected to the outside (CO) line ports of the PBX, the default values are assigned automatically.
It takes a maximum of 4 minutes to complete checking the dialling mode, unless the outside (CO) line is in use. In this case, the PBX will start checking it after the outside (CO) line becomes idle.
This feature will not function properly when:
It takes 3 seconds or more to detect the dialling mode of your telephone company.
The cable from the outside (CO) line is disconnected while the PBX is checking the dialling mode.
If your telephone company or a host PBX can receive both DTMF and Pulse signals, the PBX selects an outside (CO) line type according to the following priority:
DTMFrarrow.gif Pulse (High) rarrow.gif Pulse (Low)

During this operation, communication between the PBX and PC will be disconnected one time. Country Setting can also be programmed the first time the PBX is accessed with a PC using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software (Quick Setup). For more information about Quick Setup, refer to the Installation Manual (rarrow.gif 3.1.1 Installing KX-TE Maintenance Console on a PC).

Conditions

This feature is only available when the suffix of the connected PBX is "NE" or "CE".

2.3.7 Firmware Upgrade

Description

It is possible to upgrade the PBX software via the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) or USB port using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software. Even if a user upgrades the PBX software, the system data will not be lost. For more information on how to upgrade the PBX software, refer to the on-line help.

Conditions

The ROM and the firmware version can be confirmed through system programming (rarrow.gif Firmware Version [998]).
