INTEGRATING THE VPS WITH PANASONIC KX-T PHONE SYSTEMS
3.1 GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATION
3.1.1 DPT or Inband Signaling?
There are 2 types of integration available on the KX-TVS75/100/200: Inband Signaling and
DPT. The VPS used with any other brand of telephone equipment require inband equipment.
KX-TD series PBXs that can use DPT Integration are:
•
KX-TD816 version P401A or higher
•
KX-TD1232 version P101A or higher
3.1.2 Why Integration is Important
The KX-TVS75/100/200 works well with most PBXs because its connections are made
through a standard single-line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the VPS operation
depends on the capabilities and features provided by the PBX; its performance will vary when
connected with different PBX systems. For example, Follow-on (or Called Party) ID is a
feature of the PBX. If the PBX does not have this feature, the VPS cannot transfer calls directly
to the correct mailbox and play the busy or no-answer greeting for that mailbox.
3.1.3 How the VPS and the PBX Communicate
To the PBX, the VPS looks like SLT sets. The PBX thinks that the VPS is an SLT, and the VPS
mimics all actions a live attendant would carry out from an SLT.
For the VPS and the PBX to communicate, proper signaling is important. Like an attendant,
the VPS places calls by going off-hook and dialing numbers. It starts call transfers with a
hookswitch flash to put callers on hold and then dials the extension number. By recognizing
call progress tones from the PBX, the VPS decides how calls should be handled. Inband
Integration allows the PBX to send certain digits (DTMF) to the VPS, allowing it to recognize
the status of the extension and take the appropriate action.
