VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO
1.1 WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO
1.1.1 Why Voice Processing?
The VPS handles incoming and outgoing calls. When a call comes in, it answers, forwards to appropriate ex tensions, ta kes and st ores messages, and notif ies subscri bers when messa ges are left. Subscribers may send and transfer messages to other subscribers within the system. The VPS is easy to use, helping callers through the system with step-by-step voice p rompts.
Unlike handwritten messages or those left with answering services, VPS messages are confidential; they are stored in a mailbox and retrieved only with the subscriber's password. Other advantages of the VPS are clarity and accuracy, which are commonly lacking with written messages. The messages come directly from the caller, in the caller's own voice. To further ensure accuracy, the system allows the sender to correct or change messages before saving them. Messages can be erased or transferred b y the recipient.
1.1.2 Basic Operations
Greeting Callers:
Callers are greeted by a prerecorded message that includes directions for leaving and editing messages. The VPS can list single-digit numbers for each available extension or mailbox. Callers who kno w the e xtension of the person they wish to reach may dial the e xtension number at any time. Calle rs with rotary p hones are transfer red to a pre-pr ogrammed destinati on (which is often an operator or the General Delivery Mailbox) to leave a message.
Sending Messages:
Callers can review and edit messages before leaving them in a mailbox. Subscribers can send messages to an indi vidual or to se v era l mailbox es at on ce. The messag e sender ca n then v erify that the other subscriber has received the message.
Receiving Messages:
Subscribers can choose from several different message notification methods. They can be notified by: message waiting lamp, beeper, or a call from the system to another line. System programming determines whethe r a subscriber will be notified each ti me that a message is left. (Subscribers can choose to be notified of messages differently depending on the time of day.) Mailbox parameters determine maximum length and accommodate 5-100 messages. If the system is connected using Digital Integration, subscribers can press a pre-assigned button to record conversations in their own mailboxes or other subscribers' mailboxes while talking on the phone. Digital I nteg ration a lso allo ws subscri bers to s creen message s as the y are being le ft or pick up if they choose to take the call.

1.1.3 VPS Limitations
The KX-TVP50 does not support:
UCD functions
UCD (Uniform Call Distribution) is a service that distributes calls evenly among extensions and returns to callers to say that all extensions are busy. Calls can be forwarded by the KX­TVP50 to the KX-TD1232/816 floating number of a UCD gro up. The call then ri ngs at the next available phone.

1.2 SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT, AND USE
1.2 SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT, AND USE
1.2.1 System Administration
System Administration is accomplished by the installer and is concerned with setting and changing system parameters and diagnosing system problems. System Administration is accomplished using terminal emulation software.
1.2.2 System Management
Two system functions are performed by the customer — System Management and Message Management. System Management is conce rned with changing system par ameters through the System Manager's Mailbox.
Message Management is concerned with recording voice prompts through the Message Manager's Mailbox. These messages include Department Dialling menu, Custom Service menus, voice la bels f or Syst em Group Dis trib u tion Li sts, user prompts, mul til ingual sel ecti on menu and System Caller Names.
1.2.3 Subscriber Use
System users are c alled subscr ib ers. Sub scr iber s are a ssign ed a person al mail box that the y are able to personali se. Subscr ibers can r ecord thei r nam e, re cord pe rsonal gree tings , set co v ering extensions, record questions for an interview mailbox, set the message reception mode, set incomplete call handling status, set call transfe r status, enter Personal Group Distr ibution Lis ts, set the message waiting lamp, and set notification by calling.

1.3 SYSTEM BASICS
The PBX should have the following features for successful integration:
If the PBX does not have these features, VPS operation will be limited.
See 3.1.4 PBX Requirements for Integration. You will find the foll owi ng informati on about each feature listed:
VOICE MAIL
The recommended Panasoni c PBX systems ha v e Fo llo w- on ID and Inb and Inte gra tion. When callers are t ransferred to an extension that is forwarded to Voice Mail, Follow-on ID sends callers dire ctly to the mailbox. Without Follow-on ID, the ca ller would have to re-ente r the mailbox number when connected to the Voice Mail.
Single line (tip/ring) port circuits (Some PBXs need an OPX card to provide this connection.)
Station to station DTMF signalling
Message Waiting Notification from an SLT (single-line telephone)
Screened transfer from an SLT
Message Waiting Notification on proprietary (multi-line) sets (message waiting lamp accessed by dialling on/off codes)
Description
Limitations of the system without the feature
Tests to determine whether the PBX has the feature
DTMF Integration enables the VPS to recognise the current state of the call and improve its call handling performance . When enabled, the PBX informs the VPS of the status of the call (busy , answered, ringing, etc.) by sending a code with DTMF tones before sending the normal call progress tones. For example, when a caller hangs up before making a selection, the PBX sends # 9 to the VPS port that answered. This informs the VPS that the caller has hung up. Upon receiving these digits, the VPS goes on-hook and is ready to handle another call.
Digital (APT/DPT) Inte gratio n is a va ilable when the VPS is connected t o a Pa nasonic KX-TA series PBX or to a Panasonic KX-TD series PBX (depending on the software version). This digital integration provides the V PS with more information than D TMF Integration . This information enables the sys tem to ident ify the e xt ensio n n umber of the call er, know wher e the call is forwarded from and why, and recognise what the caller wants to do. Some fe atures are available only with APT/DPT Integration (Live Call Screening, Two-Way Recording, Two­Way Transfer, Direct Mailbox Access, Intercom Paging, Auto Configuration, Caller Name Announcement (system/personal), Caller ID Call Routing, Personal Greeting for Caller ID).

1.3.7 Flash Memory Expansion Capabilities
Expansion of the flash memory capacity requires an optional expansion memory card (KX­TVP52). The KX-TVP50 initially has 2-h memory. The KX-TVP52 increases the capacity by 2 h.
1.3.8 Recommendations for System Configuration
General guideline: a ratio of 6/1 (for every 6 lines, 1 port). There are 2 questions to ask when considering how many ports are desirable:
Are the ports answering all incoming calls or just forwarded/transferred calls?
If they are answering incoming calls, how busy are the lines?
The guideline above (6/1) usually works well with moderate traffic. This may have to be modified for heavy traffic. These recommendations are outlined in the following chart.
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.3 SYSTEM BASICS
One port may not support an Automated Attendant configuration with 5 outside (CO) lines. The following recommendations for Automated Attendant ports may have to be modified for heavy traffic.

1.4 DIGITAL INTEGRATION
1.4.1 General
There are 2 types of Digital Integration: APT Integration and DPT Integration. APT Integration is available when the KX-TVP50 is connected to a KX-TA analogue PBX. DPT Integration is available when the KX-TVP50 is conne cted to a KX-TD digital PBX.
1.4.2 APT Integration
To the Panasonic KX-TA analogue PBX, the VPS ports look like proprietary telephones. The PBX thinks that the VPS is a proprietary telephone, and the VPS mimics all actions of a proprietary telephone. Communication between the VPS and the PBX through digital integration re quires the proper soft ware le v el in th e PBX and 4-wire conne ctions fo r each port (TVP50). To communicate between the VPS and the PBX through APT Integration, the PBX and VPS must be programmed to work together.
1.4 DIGITAL INTEGRATION
1.4.3 Connection Example — APT Integration
For example, you can connect jack 7 of the KX-TA series PBX to Port 1 of the VPS with a 4­wire connection (see diagr am belo w). This connecti on creates 1 Voice Mail extension and can only answer 1 call . This means that a fu lly-con f igur ed 2-por t sys tem req uires 2 jac ks fro m the PBX.
KX-TVP50
KX-TA series
When APT Integr ation i s acti vated, a single e xtens ion jack pro vides 1 singl e-line i nterf ace at a Port on the VPS. For example, when 1 line cord (4 wire) is c onne cte d to Port 1 on the VPS, 1 extension is provided.

1.4.4 DPT Integration
Port 1 Extension 107
Port 2 Extension 108
To the Panasonic KX-TD digital PBX, the VPS ports look like digital extensions. The PBX thinks that the VPS i s a di gita l phone , and t he VPS mimic s all acti ons of a dig ital se t. Another advantage of digital i ntegratio n is that the 2B+D communication provides 2 VPS ports for each Digital Station port . Communication between t he VPS and the PBX throu gh digital inte gration requires the proper software level in the PBX and 4-wire connections for each port (TVP50).
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
21
1.4 DIGITAL INTEGRATION
To communicate between the VPS and the PBX through DPT Integration, the PBX and VPS must be programmed to work together.
1.4.5 Connection Example — DPT Integration
For example, you can connect jack 15 of the KX-TD1232 to Port 1 of the VPS with a 4-wire connection (see diagram below). This connection creates 2 Voice Mail extensions and can simultaneously answer 2 calls. This means that a ful ly-conf igured 2- port system re quires only 1 jack from the PBX.
