Answer Supervision for Voice Mail
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher)
Description
Operation
This feature allows the DBS to send an answer signal to third-party voice
mail systems.
In previous releases, a third-party voice mail did not receive a signal to
indicate that a DBS extension had answered. To determine that the extension
had answered, the voice mail system had to wait until it stopped receiving
ringback tone. Waiting for the ringback to stop often delayed connection
times for calls from voice mail to extensions. Sending an answer signal
provides quicker response time between the DBS and the voice mail system.
The following programming can be performed from an attendant phone or
any other phone that has entered the programming access code.

Auto Set Relocation
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 3.1 or higher)
Description
Operation
Auto Set Relocation can be used to relocate the program settings of one
extension to another extension.
Auto Set Relocation is commonly used when extension users want to trade
work areas. For example, if Extensions “A” and “B” are going to switch
office locations, Auto Set Relocation enables them to switch telephone
settings without re-programming.
Before a phone can be relocated, it must be assigned an Auto Set Relocation
code. See “Related Programming” for the program address used to set up the
Auto Set Relocation Code.
The following example illustrates how the program settings for extensions
200 and 300 could be switched.
To Transfer Extension Settings from 200 to 300:
1. At extension 300, pick up the handset.
2. Press “#10.”
3. Dial extension number 200.
DBS-70-700DBS Manual - Issued 8/1/95 Page 2-9

4. Enter the four-digit auto set relocation code assigned to extension 200.
5. Replace the handset.
• All programmed extension features and TRS settings from 200 are
transferred to 300.
• Extension 300 are placed out of service.
To Reactivate Extension 300:
1. Unplug the extension cable from 300.
2. Reconnect the cable.
Extension 300 assumes all extension features, TRS, and LCR settings that
were initially assigned to 200.

Background Music
(All Versions)
Description
If your system is set up to provide Background Music, music can be played
from the speakers of idle telephones. If a call is made to an extension
receiving Background Music, the music stops and the phone rings.
Background Music is also interrupted when the phone goes offhook.
The system can also provide music-on-hold using the Background Music
source or a separate music source. If Music-on-Hold is provided, callers
automatically hear music when they are placed on hold. (See page 2-34 for

systems use four older-style 6-volt batteries.) The backup batteries are
connected in a series circuit, using cables provided with the DBS. With
maximum traffic, the backup batteries last up to 40 minutes for the DBS 40
and 72, and up to 30 minutes for the DBS 96. The backup batteries should be
replaced about every 3 years.

Call Forward ID Code for Voice Mail
(CPC-A Version 3.1, CPC-AII, and all CPC-B Versions)
Description
Call Forward ID Code for Voice Mail allows users to call forward to a thirdparty voice mail system. The ID Code sends the digits that are required by the
voice mail to identify the DBS extension and allow it to retrieve messages.
With CPC-A or CPC-B Version 1.0, you can only set the ID Code from the
phone to be forwarded. Beginning with CPC-B Version 2.0, ID Codes can be
set from any key phone; this is also true of CPC-AII.

Chapter 2. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
Considerations
• In CPC-A 3.1 and CPC-B Versions prior to 5.0, callers could hear the tones
as the ID code was transmitted to the voice mail system. Beginning with
CPC-A Version 3.3, CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0, external callers do
not hear the tones.
• The Extension Copy program (FF9 2# 1-144# 1-144##) should
used to copy extension settings that include a Call Forward ID Code.
Copying extension settings in this manner allows the copy “destination” to
retrieve the messages of the copy “source.” For example, if you copy
extension settings from extension 200 to extension 300, extension 300 can
retrieve 200’s messages. Extension 300 can retrieve 200’s messages
because the Call Forward ID Code for 200 is also assigned to 300.
Caller ID
(CPC-A II Version 6.1 or higher and CPC-B Version 6.1 or higher)
Description
A properly equipped DBS supports Caller ID (CID), a service offered by the
network telephone service provider. The CO sends calling number
information to the DBS after the first ring. Users who have display telephones
can see CID information as incoming calls ring at their extension and can
have access to previous calls via the Caller ID Call Log feature. The CID
number is recorded in SMDR.

based on Caller ID information. This allows up to 10 predetermined users to
access the DISA feature without requiring a trunk be left in the DISA mode.
When a CID call is sent to the DBS, the CID number is checked against the
table. If the number is found, the caller will automatically be connected to
DISA dial tone.

Centrex/PBX Compatibility
(CPC-A Version 3.2 or higher, CPC-AII, and CPC-B Version 2.1 or higher)
Description
Centrex/PBX Compatibility allows the DBS to be connected to centrex or
PBX lines.
The DBS supports up to 8 access codes for dialing centrex or a PBX. These
access codes allow the DBS SMDR output to exclude the number dialed to
reach a centrex or PBX line.
The DBS also supports transmission of a flash signal over the centrex or PBX
link.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
(CPC-B Version 2.0 or higher)
Description
The Direct Inward Dialing (DID) feature allows an extension to have a
dedicated direct number. The dedicated number allows calls to be made
directly to the extension, without the caller going through the attendant.
Prior to CPC-B Version 3.1, only one DID number could be assigned to an
extension. Beginning with CPC-B Version 3.1, one DID number can be
assigned to several extensions, and one extension can have more than one
DID number; this is also true of CPC-AII.
If a DID number is assigned to more than one extension, incoming calls to the
DID number ring at all the assigned extensions simultaneously.

DID/DNIS Flexible Ring Assignments
(CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher)
Description
DID/DNIS Flexible Ring Assignments allow night ringing and delayed
ringing for specific DID/DNIS numbers.
Related Programming
• FF1 (System): Delayed Ring
• FF1 (System): Central Office Delayed Ring Timer
• FF1 (System): Inbound DID Dial Numbers
• FF1 (System): DNIS Number Setting
Considerations
• Timing for DID/DNIS delayed ringing is controlled by the Central Office
Delayed Ring Timer.
• The system uses a DID Numbers Table for DID assignment. The DID
Numbers Table allows up to 500 DID assignments. Each assignment
consists of the DID number and an associated extension.
• The system uses a separate DNIS Numbers Table for DNIS assignment.
The DNIS Numbers Table allows up to 500 DNIS assignments, with each
assignment consisting of the DNIS number and an associated extension.
• When multiple extensions are assigned delayed ringing for the same DID/
DNIS number, unanswered delay ringing forwards based on the extension
with the lowest port number.
For example, if port numbers 125 and 126 both have delayed ringing for the

same DNIS number and both ports do not answer a delayed ringing call, the
call follows the call forwarding settings of port 125.
DID/DNIS Text Name Assignment
(CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher)
Description
DID/DNIS Text Name Assignment allows the assignment of text names to
specific DID/DNIS numbers. The text name can include up to six characters.
Text name assignments are especially useful when multiple DID or DNIS
lines terminate to the same extension or group. For example, a call center may
handle inquiries for three different companies. To easily identify which
customer is being called, individual DID or DNIS numbers can be assigned
for each customer, and then corresponding text names can be assigned to the
DID or DNIS trunks.
Up to 200 DID text names and 200 DNIS text names can be assigned.
Related Programming
• FF1 (System): Inbound DID Dial Numbers
• FF1 (System): DNIS Number Setting
Considerations
• A DSS/72 is required to assign text names to DID/DNIS trunks.
• If text is assigned to a DID/DNIS number that rings at multiple extensions,
all of the extensions will receive the text display.
• The text display follows forwarded calls and transferred calls.
• If text is not assigned to a DID/DNIS line, the number will display.

DID/DNIS to a Voice Mailbox
(CPC-B Version 6.0 and higher)
Description
DID/DNIS to a voice mailbox allows DID/DNIS calls to be routed to a voice
mailbox that is not connected to a physical extension.
To implement this feature, the DID/DNIS trunks must be assigned to ring at
the voice mail system. Once voice mail answers, the DBS sends a DID/DNIS
Answer Code required by the voice mail system plus the final DID/DNIS
digits to the voice mail system. The DID/DNIS Answer Code signals the

Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
(All Versions)
Description
Direct Inward System Access (DISA) gives off-site users dial-in access to the
DBS. Users access DISA by dialing a 7-digit number assigned to a DISA
trunk.
For security reasons, one incoming DISA code and two outgoing DISA codes
can be assigned. If an incoming code is assigned, it must be entered as soon as
the DISA trunk answers. An outgoing code must be entered before the user
dials an outgoing call.
Operation
To make a DISA call to an extension:
1. Dial the DISA trunk number.
2. Once you hear DISA dial tone from the DBS, enter the 4-digit DISA code
(if an incoming DISA code is assigned). If the incoming DISA code is not
programmed, you can proceed to the next step.
3. Dial the extension number.
To make a DISA call to an outside number:
1. Dial the DISA trunk number.
2. Once you hear DISA dial tone from the DBS, enter the 4-digit DISA code
(if an incoming DISA code is assigned). If the incoming DISA code is not
programmed, you can proceed to the next step.
3. Dial #7 plus the 4-digit Outgoing DISA Code.
Two outgoing DISA codes are assigned. Either may be used after the #7.
4. Dial the trunk group number you want to use (81-86 or 9).

DP to DTMF Signal Conversion
(All Versions)
Description
This feature allows an extension user to switch from DP to DTMF signaling
when using a DP trunk.
For instance, if a user dials into a voice mail system using a DP trunk, the user
can switch to DTMF signaling to communicate with the voice mail system.
DTMF tones can be sent either during the call or while the call is being
dialed.

Hunting Priority for VAUs
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher)
Description
This feature allows hunting priority to be assigned to calls that overflow from
the hunt group to the VAU. If the caller hears the VAU message and then
decides to dial back into the hunt group, he or she is placed before other calls
that have just entered the hunt group queue. For an illustration of the flow of
calls, see Figure 2-1 on page 2-31.
To further improve VAU operation, DID, DISA, and transferred calls are now
routed to the first VAU message. (In previous releases, these calls were routed
to the second VAU message.)
In addition, a digital port can now be assigned as a VAU through system
programming. In previous releases, VAUs were assigned as standard digital
ports. Using the standard digital port assignment required the installer to
make the following program changes:
• The CO Offhook Signal option had to be set to “on” (FF3 1-144# 7#).
• The Call Waiting Notification Tone/OHVA option had to be set to “off”
(FF3 1-144# 8#).
• Auto Pickup had to be set to “on” (FF3 1-144# 12#).
• All FF keys for the extension port had to be cleared.
The VAU assignment now eliminates the need to make these program
changes. Once a port is assigned as a VAU, the system treats that port as if
these changes have been made.
Note:
settings have been made, it does not actually change the settings. If the port is
later assigned as a standard digital port, the original program settings will still
be in effect.
Though the VAU assignment treats the VAU port as if the program

Night Service
(CPC-AII Version 7.0 and higher and CPC-B Version 7.0 and higher)
Description
The Attendant can switch the system between Day and two Night Modes for
answering outside calls. It is also possible to program the system to
automatically switch between night and day modes.
While in a Night Mode (generally used at night or any time when your office
is closed), incoming calls can ring at selected extensions (a night watchman’s
extension, for example), an extension connected to an answering machine, or
to a Universal Night Answer point. Universal Night Answer (UNA) is used to
allow calls to be picked up from any extension.
See page 2-64 for information on setting a UNA point.
See “Auto Day Mode” (page 2-8) for information that allows automatic
switching between day and night modes.

Power Failure Transfer
(All Versions)
Description
This feature provides telephone service to a limited number of SLTs during a
power failure. The SLTs are connected to the CO via a Power Failure Unit
(PFU).
In the event of a power failure, the power failure extensions have dial tone
directly from the CO; system features and restrictions do not apply.
Hardware Requirements
• Power Failure Unit (VA-43703)
• An SLT that will be connected to the PFU.
Considerations
• Up to four SLTs can be connected to one Power Failure Unit.
• If a call is in progress through the PFU when the power is restored, the call
will be disconnected.
• For added protection against power outages, backup batteries can be
installed in the DBS. Backup batteries provide full telephone service and
system features to all DBS extensions for a limited amount of time.
With maximum traffic, the backup batteries last up to 40 minutes for the
DBS 40 and 72, and up to 30 minutes for the DBS 96.

Remote Maintenance
(All Versions)
Description
The DBS can be programmed from a remote terminal or from a remote PC.
Remote programming can be accomplished using the Remote Programming
Mode or by using Panasonic’s PCAS (Personal Computer Administration
System) or DBS Manager software.
Remote Programming Mode
(All Versions)
Description
Remote Programming Mode uses a “dumb” terminal or a PC to access the
DBS. This method of remote maintenance is less sophisticated and more
difficult than using PCAS or DBS Manager.
Operation
You can enter the Remote Programming Mode through any of these three
methods:
• By using a local PC and communications package to connect directly to
the DBS serial port
• By dialing into the system through a direct DISA trunk
• By dialing into the system through a regular CO trunk, then requesting the
operator to enter the Remote Programming ID Code.

on at a phone at the time background music is disabled from the class of
service, the background music at the phone cannot be turned off. Make
certain that features are not in use when removed from a class of service.
(If a feature is accidentially left active, simply reenable the feature in the
class of service and turn off the feature.)
Station Hunting
(All Versions)
Station hunting allows calls to be automatically transferred among a
preselected group of phones.
When a call terminates to a busy extension in a hunt group, the call
automatically transfers to another extension in the group. If the second
extension is busy, the call automatically transfers to another member of the
group.
Several methods of station hunting are available. The CPC version
determines which methods are available.

Section 700 - OperationChapter 2. System Features
Terminal and Circular Hunting
(CPC-A; CPC-B Versions Prior to 2.0)
Description
CPC-A and CPC-B Versions prior to 2.0 provide terminal and circular hunt
groups.
Terminal Hunt Groups
With terminal hunt groups, a call must ring at the first extension in the group
in order for hunting to be invoked.
If the first extension of the hunt group is busy, the call automatically transfers
to the next extension in the group. If that extension is busy, the call continues
to hunt through the group. The order in which the call hunts is determined by
how the group is programmed. Up to eight extensions can be placed in the
group, and calls will always hunt from member 1, to member 2, to member 3,
and so on.
If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should all the
members of the original group be busy or not answer.
A pilot number must be designated as the first extension in a terminal hunt
group. A pilot number is a fictitious extension number that, when dialed,
starts the hunting process through the group. In CPC-A and CPC-B Versions
prior to 2.0, a pilot number can be provided by adding a resistor to an analog
port. See “Hardware Requirements” for details.
Circular Hunt Groups
With circular hunting, hunting is initiated by calling any extension in the
group. If the called extension is busy, the call will hunt through the next
members of the group until the end of the hunt group is reached. If the call
reaches the end of the group without reaching an idle extension, it will
transfer back to the first member of the group until one full circle is
completed.
If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should all the
members of the original group be busy.

Chapter 2. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
• FF4 (Ringing and Hunt Groups): Terminal/Circular Hunt Groups
• FF4 (Ringing and Hunt Groups): Ringing Assignments (all)
Hardware Requirements
• A pilot number can be provided by installing a 2 watt 450 Ohm resistor on
the analog port that will be dialed to initiate station hunting. The resistor is
placed across the tip and ring of the designated analog port.
The resistor will “busy” the port. When the busy pilot number is called, the
call will hunt through the other extensions in the group.
Considerations
• Eight Station Hunt Groups can be programmed; a single Hunt Group can
contain up to eight extensions, including the pilot extension.
• If all extensions in a group are busy and an alternate group has not been
designated, CO calls will queue, and intercom calls will receive busy tone.
• If the first extension within a hunt group activates an absence message, call
forwarding, or DND, the hunt feature will not work.
• If an extension other than the first extension activates an absence message,
call forwarding, or DND, the hunt feature will skip that extension, and
proceed to the next extension within the group.
• The amount of time a call rings at a hunt group member before transferring
to another hunt group member is determined by the Call Forward--No
Answer Timer.
• An SLT hunt group member that places a call on hold and then replaces the
handset will not receive additional hunt group calls until the held call is
released.
• An extension that is a member of a hunt group cannot be a member of
another hunt group or a member of call coverage group.
• The offhook signaling option should be removed from members in a hunt
group.

Section 700 - OperationChapter 2. System Features
Terminal, Distributed and Longest Idle Hunting
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 2.0 or higher)
Beginning with CPC-B Version 2.0, three types of hunt groups are available:
Terminal, Distributed, and Longest Idle. In addition, CPC-AII and CPC-B
Version 2.0 and higher also provide a software-defined pilot extension
number. The software-defined pilot number eliminates the need for the 2 W
450 Ohm resistor required for a pilot number in CPC-A and CPC-B Versions
prior to 2.0.
CPC-AII and CPC-B Versions 2.0 or higher also allow calls from busy hunt
groups to overflow to a transfer extension. The transfer extension can be the
pilot of another hunt group, the pilot (0) of the attendant group, or a single
extension number.
Terminal Hunt Groups
When the Terminal method is selected, a call to the pilot number will
repeatedly search hunt group members until the Transfer Timer expires. If
none of the members is free when the timer expires, the call is transferred to
the transfer extension.
Distributed Hunt Groups
When the Distributed method is selected, calls are distributed through the
pilot number based on which extension in the group received a call in the last
search. The incoming call begins its search at the next available extension in
the group and then repeatedly searches the group, in sequence, until the
Transfer Timer expires. If none of the members is free when the timer expires,
the call is transferred to the transfer extension.
Longest Idle Hunt Groups
With Longest Idle hunting, a call to the pilot number rings the extension in
the group that has been available the longest.
As with the other two methods, the search then continues through the Hunt
Group until the Transfer Timer expires. If a member does not become
available before the timer expires, the call is transferred to the transfer
extension.
An extension is not considered idle if it rings.

T1 Interface
(CPC-B Version 4.0 or higher)
Description
The T1 Interface is a digital trunk card that provides twenty-four 64 kbps
channels, for a total transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps. T1 lines can be leased
from local exchange carriers and long-distance carriers.
The DBS T1 Interface supports the following options:
SF or ESF Framing Formats
Either super frame (SF) or extended super frame (ESF) formats can be used
with the DBS T1.
The superframe consists of 12 frames, with each frame including 193 bits.
Each frame is separated by a framing bit.
An extended super frame consists of 24 frames, double the length of the super
frame (SF) format. ESF also supports monitoring and maintenance
capabilities that are not available with the SF format.
Flexible Trunk Signaling Modes
The T1 Interface provides the following trunk signaling modes. The
signaling modes can be assigned on a per-channel basis:
• Loop start
• Ground start
• E&M.
Related Programming
• FF1 (System): T1 Settings (all)
• FF2 (Trunks): Trunk Type
• FF2 (Trunks): Trunk Port Class
• FF3 (Extension): Station Port Class
Hardware Requirements
• The following hardware is required to install a T1 in a single cabinet:
Page 2-54DBS Manual - Issued 8/1/95DBS-70-700
Section 700 - OperationChapter 2. System Features
- 1 T1 Trunk Card (VB-43561
- 1 T1 MDF Card (VB-43562)
- 1 Sync Card (VB-43563).
In addition, one T1 Cable (VB-43564) is required to install a T1 in a double
cabinet if the T1 card is located in the slave cabinet.
To install two T1s in a double cabinet, you must have 2 T1 Trunk Cards and
2 T1 MDF Cards.
• The installer must provide a Channel Service Unit (CSU) that complies
with FCC Part 15 and Part 68. The CSU is installed between the DBS and
the public network. The CSU provides alarm, diagnostic, and monitoring
functions, as well as network protection.
Considerations
•
Fractional T1
Fractional T1 allows you to use only a portion of the 24 channels provided
on the T1 card.
can be used when fewer than 24 T1 trunks are needed.
• Though each T1 Interface provides 24 trunk channels, T1 trunks do not
increase the overall trunk capacity of the DBS. Each T1 channel subtracts
from the total number of analog trunks that can be installed. Furthermore,
the number of analog trunks that can be used may be decremented in
quantities of 1 or 8.
For instance, if you are installing a T1 in a DBS 96 and you only want to
use 12 T1 channels, the logical number of analog trunks that would be
available is 20 (32 - 12 = 20).
With CPC-B 5.00 and later, the number of analog trunks available are
decremented in quantities of 1. With CPC-B earlier than 5.00, the number
of analog trunks must be decremented in quantities of 8; the actual number
of analog trunks that can be used is 16:
(32 total trunks - 16 (two 8-trunk increments) = 16.)
• The current version of the T1 supports voice communications only. Data
can be transmitted only if it reaches the T1 in analog form. Examples of
analog data that can be transmitted over the T1 include fax transmissions

Descriptio
n
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) provides communication and
coordination of operation between computers and the telephone system. One
of the most significant emerging standards in CTI is the Telephony Services
Application Programming Interface from Novell®
.
Telephony Services is basically a third party call controller. Applications
designed for Telephony Services act on behalf of a group of users. With its
group orientation, Telephony Services provides easy operation, distribution
and transfer of calls and reporting of call handling among other features
.
The DBS talks with the Telephony Server using a serial link from a specially
designed Panasonic API Card. There is no physical link between the
telephones and the networked computers. However, a logical link is
established on the Tserver to relate a telephone to a networked computer
.
New applications are currently being developed that will work with DBS
Telephony Services. The possibilities for applications are unlimited. For
example
:- inbound callers may be routed to the most appropriate customer
representative based on the caller’s phone number. As the call is
answered, the representative’s computer screen automatically
displays the customer’s information.
- a computer-based phone directory may be used to not only look
up a phone number but also initiate a call. A corresponding
called party database may be automatically accessed when the
call is initiated
.- the vast array of PBX features may be more easily utilized using
computer screen icons and prompting instead of complicated
telephone feature access codes and procedure
s
In addition to general Telephony Services applications, since the DBS
Telephony Services meets a published standard, customized applications may
be developed to meet specific needs.
For more information on DBS Telephony Services, see the
“
in the DBS Section 520. Each
application used in conjunction with Telephony Services provides its own
• VB-43941 Telephony Services Kit. This kit includes a Panasonic API
Card, the API Serial Connector (two ports) and one 3 1/2” floppy disk
containing the Telephony Services DBS Driver “Panadrvr.”
• A Novell 3.12 (or later), 486 (or greater) server with at least 8 megabytes
of RAM and equipped with an available serial port of at least 9600 baud
capacity (16550 UART required).
• One customized serial cable (provided). The RS232 limits should not be
exceeded (50 feet).

5Programmable TRS Type; defaulted to no restrictions (see Notes).
6Programmable TRS Type; defaulted to no restrictions (see Notes).
7No restriction of outbound dialing.
Notes:
For TRS types 3-6 and the old numbering plan, operator calls are allowed if FF7 1# 1# is set to
“on.” The office code tables are used to restrict all 0 plus dialing; the next two digits will also
be analyzed.
For TRS types 2 to 6 and the new NANP (CPC-AII/CPC-B Version 6.0 and later), operator
access is determined by an extension-based operator access switch. TRS Types 0 and 1 are fully
restricted and TRS Type 7 is not restricted.
For TRS types 2 to 6 beginning with CPC-AII/CPC-B Version 6.0, 911 is always allowed.
For TRS types 3-6, area code and office code restrictions can be changed using “Area Code
Table For TRS Types 3-6‚” “Office Code Table For TRS Types 3-6‚” “Special Area Code Table
For TRS Types 3-6‚” and “Special Office Code Table For TRS Types 3-6‚”explained in Chapter 8 of
Programming (Section 400)
.
For TRS types 3-6, area and office code restrictions can be further managed using “Special
Area Code Table For TRS Types 3-6” and “Special Office Code Table For TRS Types 3-6”
found in Chapter 8 of
Programming (Section 400)
. Four area codes can be associated with special area code tables 1-4 (one area code per table). Within each of these tables, the entire range
of valid office codes can be individually allowed or restricted. Thus, the Special Area and
Office Codes work together to provide specific toll restrictions.

VAU
(All Versions)
Description
The Voice Announce Unit (VAU) is a digital answering device that can be
connected to the DBS. It provides for the recording and playback of up to two
voice messages, along with the ability to transfer incoming calls.
When a call reaches the VAU, it plays a prerecorded voice message. The
caller is then allowed to dial a number or is automatically transferred to a
predetermined extension.
The VAU is often used to back up operators or hunt groups. Callers
overflowing from either of these positions hear a message and can then dial a
number or wait to be transferred back to the operator or hunt group.
The VAU can be used to provide a variety of other services to callers, such as
a menu of dialing options or transfer to an answering machine.
Recording and Playing Messages
You can record the VAU messages from either an extension or a trunk.
Notes:
• You must use a DTMF telephone to record and play VAU messages.
• To change existing messages, record over them.
To record and play messages, complete the following steps.
1. Do one of the following:
If . . .Then . . .
You are recording or playing from an extension

VAU Port Assignment
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher, CPC-A Version 3.3 and higher)
Operation
A digital port can now be assigned as a VAU through system programming.
In previous releases, VAUs were assigned as standard digital ports. Using the
standard digital port assignment required the installer to make the following
program changes:
•The CO Offhook Signal option had to be set to “off” (FF3 1-144# 7#).
DBS-70-700DBS Manual - Issued 8/1/95 Page 2-67
Section 700 - OperationChapter 2. System Features
•The Call Waiting/OHVA option had to be set to “off.” (FF3 1-144# 8#).
•Auto Pickup had to be set to “on” (FF3 1-144# 12#).
•All FF keys for the extension port had to be cleared.
The VAU assignment now eliminates the need to make these program
changes. Once a port is assigned as a VAU, the system treats that port as if
these changes have been made.
Note:
Though the VAU assignment treats the VAU port as if the program
settings have been made, it does not actually change the settings. If the port is
later assigned as a standard digital port, the original program settings will still
be in effect.
To further improve VAU operation, the following call types are now routed to
the first VAU message:
•DID calls
•DNIS calls
•DISA calls
•Transferred trunk calls
•Transferred intercom calls.
In previous releases, only intercom and CO trunk calls were routed to the first
VAU message.
All recalls are routed to the second message.

Attendant Groups
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 2.0 or higher)
Description
The DBS can accommodate up to four attendant positions. The first attendant
is fixed at port 1, extension 100. The other Attendants can be set to any port
or extension. When there is more than one attendant in a system, you can
create an Attendant Group with a pilot number of 0.
When all Multi-Line keys on the first attendant phone are busy, internal calls
are forwarded to the second, third, and fourth attendant phones, in that order.
• If all ML keys on all attendants are busy, internal calls are transferred to a
preset destination, which must be a real extension number. The forwarding
destination cannot be the pilot number of a hunt group.
• The third and fourth attendants cannot have a DSS/72.
• Prior to CPC-B Version 2.0, the DBS supported a maximum of two
attendant positions.
• In previous software releases, if a user dialed “0” for the attendant group
but the first attendant had call forwarding activated, the call would skip to
the next attendant in the group. For example, if the first attendant activated
call forwarding--busy/no answer, the dial “0” call would skip to the second
attendant. If all attendants in the group activated call forwarding, dial “0”
calls did not reach the group.
Beginning with CPC-B Version 5.0, dial “0” calls ring the first attendant,
even if the first attendant has call forwarding activated. However, if a call is
unanswered, it does not skip to the next attendant. The call continues to
ring the first attendant until the caller hangs up.
• DSLTs and SLTs cannot be used for attendant positions.
• Ringing assignments will be required for all attendants other than
Attendant Position 1 (Port 1) and Attendant Postion 2 (when assigned to
port 2).
