1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Introduction
These programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference for the
Panasonic Pure IP-PBX. Each feature in the PBX has default settings that can be changed to customize the
PBX to your requirements. These settings control the functions of the PBX, and changing them is referred to
as "system programming".
Only one person can perform system programming at a time. Any other users trying to enter system
programming mode will be denied access.
Ways to Program
There are two programming methods:
•
PC (Personal Computer) Programming
All features and settings of the PBX can be programmed through PC programming with KX-TDE
Maintenance Console. Installing and starting Maintenance Console are explained in the Installation
Manual.
•
PT (Proprietary Telephone) Programming
A subset of the features and settings of the PBX can be programmed using a PT. PT programming is
described in Section 2.1 PT Programming. An extension user can perform system programming by
entering three-digit programming numbers with a PT.
1.1.2 Password Security
To maintain system security, system passwords are required to access certain programming functions of the
PBX. By giving different users access to different passwords, it is possible to control the amount of
programming that each user is able to perform.
The following types of system passwords are available:
Password
Description
Format
System Password (PT) for
User
Used to access user-level PT programming. The specific PT
programming items that may be programmed at user level
can be selected through system programming.
4–10 digits
System Password (PT) for
Administrator
Used to access administrator-level PT programming. All PT
programming settings are available.
CAUTION
To the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1.
Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2.
To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and inform
the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become known to
others.
3.
The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that you
program the PBX.
4.
Change the passwords periodically.
5.
It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum
protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in system
passwords, refer to Section 1.1.3 Entering Characters.
