Section 1
Programming Instructions
This section describes how to install, start, and operate KXTVA Maintenance Console.
Programming Manual 7
1.1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 System Administration
VPS programming can be performed by the System Administrator, System Manager, and Message
Manager. The type of programming performed by each is very different. While the System Manager
and Message Manager can use their telephones to program the PBX, the System Administrator must
use KX-TVA Maintenance Console and a PC.
VPS programming performed by the System Administrator is referred to as "system administration".
– System administration involves creating or changing VPS settings that control the manner
in which VPS performs, and is usually done before any other programming. (The system
manager can program some of these parameters with a telephone.)
– System administration can be performed by only one person at a time: a second person
attempting to program the VPS will be denied access to system administration.
1.1.2 Password Security
To maintain system security, a password is required to perform system programming. When KX-TVA
Maintenance Console is started for the first time, the Quick Setup needs to be set. Then, you will be
asked to set the system password before the setup. To avoid unauthorized access and possible
fraudulent dialing, do not disclose the password.
Warning to the Administrator regarding the system password
1. Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers if
it becomes known to others.
2. To avoid unauthorized access and possible fraudulent dialing, maintain the secrecy of the
password.
3. Please change the password periodically.
4. To prevent unauthorized access, we strongly recommend selecting a long and random
password.
5. If the system password is forgotten, you have to reset the VPS to its factory defaults and
reprogram it.
