Feature Highlights

Built-in Voice Message (BV) (Optional voice message card required)

Built-in Voice Message (BV) allows a caller to leave a voice message in a user's personal message area or the PBX's common message area ( 1.1.8 Built-in Voice Message (BV)).

Caller ID Display on SLT

The PBX can receive Caller ID information (telephone numbers and callers' names) from calls received on outside (CO) lines. This information can be shown on the displays of SLTs that support Caller ID as well as proprietary telephones (PTs) when receiving calls ( 1.1.30 Caller ID).

3-level Automated Attendant (AA)

3-level Automated Attendant (AA) service allows a caller to dial a single-digit number (Direct Inward System Access [DISA] AA number) following the guidance of 3-level DISA outgoing messages (OGMs), and be connected to the desired party automatically ( 1.1.41 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)).

PC Programming

System programming settings can be accessed using a PC and the Panasonic KX-TA Maintenance Console software as well as by using a PT ( 1.1.99 PC Programming).

The PBX software can be upgraded via the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) or USB port, using the KX-TA Maintenance Console software ( 1.1.58 Firmware Upgrade).

Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type

The dialing mode of connected outside (CO) lines is automatically configured the first time the PBX is accessed with a PC using the KX-TA Maintenance Console software, or after the PBX data has been cleared ( 1.1.5 Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type).

Call Waiting Caller ID

Call Waiting Caller ID allows the user to see the name or telephone number of a second caller during a conversation ( 1.1.28 Call Waiting Caller ID).

Local Carrier-based Voice Mail Service

Local carrier-based voice mail service allows the user to receive remote voice mail service from the telephone company to record caller messages when calls cannot be answered ( 1.1.78 Local Carrierbased Voice Mail Service).

Wireless Proprietary Telephones (PTs)

Wireless PTs such as the KX-T7885 and the KX-TD7895 give a user the freedom to move around and still have the powerful features of Panasonic PTs. Some examples of the advantages of wireless PTs over wireless SLTs are:

a)Caller ID

b)Seizure of outside (CO) lines by a one-touch operation

c)Carrier-based voice mail service

Refer to the Operating Instructions of the wireless PT for additional information.

•The caller must be using a display proprietary telephone (PT) to see the Absent Message.

Operating Manual References

1.3.1Absent Message

1.1.2Account Code Entry

Description

An account code is used to identify outgoing outside (CO) line calls for accounting and billing purposes. Account codes are appended to SMDR call records ( 1.1.112 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)), and have several uses. For example, a firm can use an account code for each client to determine which calls were made for which client, and can submit a bill to the client according to the client's account code as shown on the SMDR call record.

There are 4 methods of entering account codes, explained below. One method is assigned to each extension through system programming ( [605] Account Code Mode).

10 Feature Manual

		1.1 General Features


	Mode	Description

	Option	An extension user can (but is not required to) enter a 4-digit account code
		during a conversation or within 30 seconds after a conversation ends
		when a record is needed.

	Forced	An extension user must always enter a 4-digit account code within 5
		seconds after seizing an outside (CO) line. This method ensures that
		extension users will not forget to enter account codes.

	Verify-All	An extension user must always enter a preprogrammed account code (
		[310] Account Code) within 5 seconds after seizing an outside (CO) line.
		If the entered code does not match any preprogrammed code, the user
		will hear a reorder tone.

	Verify-Toll	An extension user can enter a preprogrammed account code ( [310]
		Account Code) within 5 seconds after seizing an outside (CO) line to
		override TRS ( 1.1.118 Toll Restriction (TRS) Override by Account
		Code). Classes of service (COSs) 3 through 5 will be changed temporarily
		to COS 2. COSs 1 and 2 will not be affected. If the entered account code
		is also registered as an extension password, the extension password
		feature will be given priority. The COS of the corresponding extension will
		be applied.

Conditions

•An account code can be stored in Memory Dialing (One-touch Dialing, Hot Line, Personal Speed Dialing, System Speed Dialing, Call Forwarding (FWD) to Outside (CO) Line, etc.). In this case, the Account Code feature number and specified account code must be entered after the Outside (CO) Line Access number.

•An extension user does not need to enter an account code for incoming outside (CO) line calls.

•Even in Forced/Verify-All/Verify-Toll mode, emergency calls can be made without an account code ( 1.1.49 Emergency Call).

1.1.4Automatic Callback Busy (Camp-on)

Description

If the dialed extension or outside (CO) line is busy when a call is made, the caller can choose to be informed by a callback ring (Camp-on Recall) when the extension or outside (CO) line becomes free.

When the user answers the callback ring:

For an intercom call: The called extension starts ringing without the user having to redial.

For an outside (CO) line call: The line is seized.

Conditions

•If the callback ring is not answered within 10 seconds (4 rings), the callback is canceled.

•More than one extension user can set this feature to monitor the same destination extension or outside (CO) line at the same time.

1.1.5Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type

Description

The dialing 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 ( [999] System Data Clear). No system programming in [401] Dial Mode and [402] Pulse Speed is required unless the dialing 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-TA Maintenance Console software (Quick Setup). For more information about Quick Setup, refer to the Installation Manual ( 3.1.1 Installing KX-TA 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 dialing 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 dialing mode of your telephone company.

–The cable from the outside (CO) line is disconnected while the PBX is checking the dialing 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:

DTMF Pulse (High) Pulse (Low)

1.1.6Automatic 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 ( [152] Automatic Time Adjustment).

Note

Since the PBX clock is put ahead by one hour on the Daylight Saving 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 Daylight Saving 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 Daylight Saving Time ( 1.1.112 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)).

1.1.8Built-in Voice Message (BV)

Description

If an optional voice message card is installed in the PBX, a caller can leave a voice message in a user's personal message area or the PBX's common message area. Information on the recorded messages is automatically logged in the Incoming Call Log of the extension, where it can be viewed later or used to play back the original message ( 1.1.18 Call Log, Incoming).

The optional voice message card has 2 voice message resources (Built-in Voice Message [BV] resource 1 and BV resource 2), and every extension must belong to one of these resources based on system programming ( [621] BV Resource).

Extension users other than the operator or manager can access the following options:

–Personal BV outgoing messages (OGMs)

–Personal voice messages (left by callers via Call Forwarding [FWD] or Direct Message) Messages can be recorded, played, and erased by that extension's user.

The operator or manager can access the following options:

–Personal BV OGMs for the operator or manager

–Personal voice messages (left by callers via FWD or Direct Message for the operator or manager)

–Common BV OGMs for the company

–Common voice messages (left by callers for the company)

Messages can be recorded, played, and erased by the operator or manager only.

Up to 125 voice messages with a total recording time of 60 minutes ( [807] BV Total Recording Time) can be logged per BV resource. All personal/common message areas within each BV resource share the total space of the resource. For example, in BV resource 1, if the common message area currently has 10

If there are new voice messages in a user's personal message area or the common message area (if accessible), the user will hear a special dial tone (dial tone 4) when going off-hook. In addition, if that user's telephone has a MESSAGE button or Message/Ringer Lamp, the corresponding button or lamp will light when a message has been left. A MESSAGE button can be used to listen to the message after the user goes off-hook. Pressing the lit MESSAGE button on a display proprietary telephone (PT) while on-hook shows voice message information.

The BV feature allows users to also perform the following operations:

•If outside (CO) line calls are preprogrammed to be automatically directed to a common message area ( [414-416] CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch), or if Direct Inward System Access (DISA) calls are preprogrammed to be redirected to a common message area via Intercept Routing ( [438-440] DISA IRNA to BV—Day/Night/Lunch), the caller will hear a common BV OGM and can leave a voice message directly in the common message area.

1.1 General Features

*2 [438-440] DISA IRNA to BV—Day/Night/Lunch

Note

This feature functions only when "DISA" is selected as the distribution method for the corresponding outside (CO) line port.

*3 BVxx (xx=01–24): Common BV OGM number followed by the Common BV OGM feature number "722"

In this example:

If an outside (CO) line call is received on outside (CO) line 1:

a)In day mode: The common BV OGM to be played ("BV01") for BV distribution is assigned. The caller hears the specified common BV OGM and leaves a voice message in the common message area.

b)In night/lunch mode: The common BV OGM to be played ("BV02") for BV distribution is assigned. The caller hears the specified common BV OGM and leaves a voice message in the common message area.

If an outside (CO) line call is received on outside (CO) line 2:

a)In day mode: The DISA OGM to be played ("DISA OGM3") for DISA distribution and the common BV OGM to be played ("BV20") for DISA IRNA to BV are assigned. The call arrives on a DISA line and the caller hears the specified DISA OGM. When the destination does not answer the DISA call, the call is redirected to the common message area via Intercept Routing. The caller hears the specified common BV OGM and leaves a voice message in the common message area.

b)In night mode: The DISA OGM to be played ("DISA OGM4") for DISA distribution and the common BV OGM to be played ("BV21") for DISA IRNA to BV are assigned. The call arrives on a DISA line and the caller hears the specified DISA OGM. When the destination does not answer the DISA call, the call is redirected to the common message area via Intercept Routing. The caller hears the specified common BV OGM and leaves a voice message in the common message area.

•An extension user can set incoming calls to be forwarded to his or her personal message area, when he or she cannot answer them. If an incoming call, direct to the user's extension, or a call using the DISA AA service ( [414-416] CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch), is forwarded to the user's personal message area, the caller will hear a personal BV OGM and can leave a voice message.

•Direct Message feature

An extension user can leave a voice message directly in the personal message area of another extension, even if the extension has not been set to forward incoming calls to its personal message area, or even if no personal/common BV OGM has been recorded. When a caller leaves a voice message using this feature, the voice message is automatically linked to the caller information (including the extension number and name [if stored]) in the Incoming Call Log.

•An extension user can play and/or erase voice messages from the user's extension. In addition, a user or the operator/manager can remotely play and/or erase voice messages through an outside (CO) line. The relevant voice message area is accessed by entering a preprogrammed voice message access code ( [625] BV Access Code through CO Line) while hearing a personal/ common BV OGM or DISA OGM.

Note

If the Voice Mail Integration feature has been set, the BV feature will not function.

18 Feature Manual

1.1 General Features

Conditions

•Hardware Requirement: An optional voice message card.

•The BV feature does not use OGMs for DISA on either the preinstalled DISA OGM card or the optional message expansion card for DISA OGMs (if present) ( 1.1.88 Outgoing Message (OGM) for DISA).

•When an extension that belongs to BV resource 1 or BV resource 2 is reassigned to the other resource, the voice messages that were recorded prior to reassignment are erased, but the personal/common BV OGMs are not erased.

•Each resource can only be accessed by one extension at a time. When the resource an extension is assigned to is being used by another extension, the extension cannot use that resource, even if the other resource is available.

•The PBX can record a maximum of 125 voice messages per resource. The maximum recording time of each voice message ( [214] BV Recording Time) and the total recording time of the PBX ( [807] BV Total Recording Time) are programmable. The maximum recording time of each personal/common BV OGM ( [215] Common/Personal BV OGM Recording Time) is also programmable.

•System programming determines the extension users that can use this feature ( [622] BV for Extension).

•If a voice message channel (resource) is in use when an outside caller tries to leave a voice message, he or she will hear a ringback tone. The caller will hear a personal/common BV OGM as soon as a channel becomes available. Up to 8 outside (CO) line calls can be placed in a queue as they arrive.

•If a user performs System Data Clear by selecting "All para" through system programming ( [999] System Data Clear), all voice messages except for personal/common BV OGMs are erased. To erase all voice messages and personal/common BV OGMs at once, initialize the voice message card through system programming ( [808] BV Card Initialization).

•Even if no flexible CO button is assigned as a Caller ID Indication—Personal button or a Caller ID Indication—Common button, a caller can leave a voice message in that personal/common message area and the Caller ID information, including associated voice messages will be logged.

•When the remaining recording time for the PBX is less than 5 minutes, the display informs both the extension users within the same resource and the manager that the voice message resource is full, and the users will hear a special dial tone (dial tone 5) when going off-hook. If the remaining recording time goes back to being 5 minutes or more, for example, when messages are erased, the display returns to the idle status display and the users will hear another dial tone instead of dial tone 5 when going offhook.

•If the FWD feature is enabled for an extension whose FWD destination is the BV feature number ( [963] Call Forwarding Selection) and the extension has been assigned as "Normal" ( [414-416] CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch), outside (CO) line calls arriving at the extension will not be forwarded and the extension will not ring, even if the user has set the FWD feature. If FWD is disabled, outside (CO) line calls arriving at the extension will not be forwarded and the extension will ring.

•Only the operator or the manager can access the common message area (including common BV OGM). The operator has higher priority than the manager as follows:

– When the operator extension is reassigned, the common voice messages (except for the personal BV OGM of the operator) that were recorded prior to reassignment are erased. The new operator can record, play back, and erase the common BV OGM.

– When the operator, who does not share an extension number with the manager, is newly assigned, the common voice messages (except for the personal BV OGM of the manager) that were recorded prior to reassignment are erased. The operator can record, play back, and erase the common BV OGM.

– When the operator, who does not share an extension number with the manager, is deleted, the common voice messages (except for the personal BV OGM of the operator) that were recorded prior to reassignment are erased. In this case, the manager can record, play back, and erase the common BV OGM.

Feature Manual	19

1.1General Features

•A voice message area cannot be included as a member of a conference call.

•Even if a caller does not leave a voice message in either the personal or common message area, for example, by going on-hook while hearing a personal/common BV OGM, the information is still logged in the corresponding Incoming Call Log (common or personal area) and displayed by SMDR ( 1.1.112 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)).

•A PT user can listen to voice messages by entering the Message Waiting Answer feature number.

•The types of calls that are forwarded by this feature are:

	Call Type

Outside (CO) line calls	Normal, Direct In Line (DIL), Direct Inward System Access (DISA)

Intercom calls	Extension, Transfer

•When a call is forwarded, the corresponding message waiting indication is not forwarded. The MESSAGE button light or Message/Ringer Lamp turns on only at the originally called extension ( 1.1.82 Message Waiting).

•It is programmable whether the calls received on outside (CO) lines programmed as "Normal" ( [414416] CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch) are forwarded for each extension or not ( [963] Call Forwarding Selection). If FWD is enabled for an extension whose FWD destination is a VPS or Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) and the extension has been assigned to ring with other extensions, the VPS or TAM may answer the call before other extensions can answer it. To prevent this, disable FWD.

•A call can only be automatically forwarded one time. In the example below, extension A's calls are being forwarded to extension B. If extension B tries to set FWD to extension C, the extension B user hears a reorder tone and the setting is denied. If extension B has already set FWD to extension C, and extension A tries to set FWD to extension B, the setting is also denied.

•System programming determines the extensions that can forward all intercom calls and certain outside

(CO) line calls to an outside party ([607] Call Forwarding to CO Line). These outside (CO) line calls must arrive on outside (CO) lines whose programming ([414-416] CO Line Mode—Day/Night/Lunch) is one of the following:

a)DIL

b)DISA (only when the call is directly sent to an extension, not intercepted)

•Outside (CO) Line Call Duration

If a call between 2 outside parties is established, the call duration will be restricted by a system timer

( [205] CO-to-CO Line Call Duration). Both parties will hear a warning tone 15 seconds before the timer expires. When the timer expires, the call is disconnected ( 1.1.91 Outside-to-Outside (CO-to- CO) Line Call Duration).

1.1.15Call Hold

Description

An extension user can put a call on hold. Any extension user can retrieve a held call.

Conditions

•Using the Call Hold feature, a proprietary telephone (PT) user can have one intercom call and multiple outside (CO) line calls on hold at the same time. To hold multiple intercom calls, the user should use the Call Park feature ( 1.1.19 Call Park). Using the Call Hold feature, a single line telephone (SLT) user can have either one intercom call or one outside (CO) line call on hold. To hold multiple calls, the user should use the Call Park feature.

•If an outside party is placed on hold and the call is not retrieved within 30 minutes, the call is automatically disconnected.

•Music on Hold

Music, if available, is sent to the outside party on hold ( 1.1.85 Music on Hold). An external audio source or tone can be selected as the Music on Hold through system programming ( [111] Music on Hold).

•Doorphone calls cannot be put on hold.

•Hold Recall

If a call on hold is not retrieved within a preprogrammed time period ( [200] Hold Recall Time), a ring tone will be heard at the extension that put the call on hold. If the extension is engaged in a call when the timer expires, an alarm tone will be heard. If the hold recall time is set to "Disable", no tone will be heard. Going off-hook after the hold recall time has expired automatically re-establishes the conversation with the call on hold.

28 Feature Manual

1.1 General Features

•SLT Hold Mode

It is possible to specify how calls are held and transferred with an SLT when the Recall/hookswitch is pressed for less than 1000 ms.

The following methods ( [104] SLT Hold Mode) are available:

Mode	Hold	Transfer to Extension

	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch
Hold-1	+	+
	Going on-hook	Extension No.

	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch
	+	+
Hold-2	Call Hold Feature No.	Extension No.
	+
	Going on-hook

	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch	Pressing the Recall/hookswitch
	+	+
Hold-3	Call Hold Feature No.	Call Hold Feature No.
	+	+
	Going on-hook	Extension No.

In some cases, a call is not disconnected when an SLT user goes on-hook. Instead, the call is mistakenly placed on hold. After a specified time expires, the Hold Recall tone is heard. When the SLT user answers this, the user hears a cyclic tone (like a reorder tone). To avoid this problem, select "Hold- 2" or "Hold-3". In either of these modes, all calls are disconnected when going on-hook, unless the Call Hold feature number is entered after pressing the Recall/hookswitch.

•Pressing the HOLD button multiple times alternates between General and Exclusive Call Hold.
