The API connection to the Panasonic DBS/576 phone system provides the Courier
with a high-speed, digital link to the telephone system. This allows for very fast and
accurate call progress detection and message waiting indication. In addition, the
following enhancements are provided:
•
Trunk
mapping
•
Utilization of the Call Record feature
•
Off Hook Voice Announce from Courier when a second call comes in and is
directed to a busy station
•
Caller ID information presented on calls and attached to voice messages
•
Enhanced display screen interface on both large and small screen telephones
(Courier Plus and Courier UMS only)
•
Message Lights are controlled via the API link which relieves a port of that duty
All station connections to Courier voice processing systems will be accomplished through
analog ports from the DBS for voice paths. Ideally, for the Courier and Courier Plus, you
will terminate the voice mail extensions into RJ-14 jacks. A single phone cord can then
run from the Courier to the wall jack for each 2 ports installed.
All API integrated systems connect via the 9 pin RS-232 port on the rear of the Courier
unit. A proprietary 9 pin to 25 pin API cable
must
be used to connect the port with the
RS-232 connector on the telephone system. The RS-232 connector will be clearly
marked as ‘API’ and will also be labeled ‘COM1’.
The
Integrated version with API and CPC-M/B has an 8-port maximum, and the CPC-B &
EX with API has a 16-port maximum. The API integration allows for features such as
large and small screen visual menus, easy message access, light indication without
using a voice port, message scheduling by trunk, the call record feature, and OHVA (Off
Hook Voice Announce) from Courier.
Because the API is being used, the telephone system has a direct digital link to the
Courier. This allows for faster integration because the API is exchanging information to
and from the Courier directly to the backplane of the DBS telephone system.

option of:

Accepting
the
call,
♦
Sending the caller to your mailbox to leave a message, or

Allowing the call to queue until you finish your current call.
