Section 1
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO
14
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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, f orwards to
appropriate e xtensions, takes and stores messag es, and notif ies su bscribers when mes sages 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 prompts.
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 by 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 know the e xtension of the person the y wish to reach may dial the e xtension number
at any time. Callers with ro tary phones are t ransferred to a pre-progra mmed destinatio n (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 vid ual or to s ev eral mailbox es at onc e. The message sender can 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 notif ied 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 ntegr ation al so allo ws subscrib ers to sc reen messages as the y are bei ng left
or pick up if they choose to take the call.
1.1 WHAT THE VPS CAN AND CANNOT DO
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
15
1.1.3 VPS Limitations
The KX-TVS50/80 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 forward ed by the KX-
TVS50/80 to the KX-TD1232/816/308 floating number of a UCD group. The call then rings
at the next available phone.
The KX-TVS50/80 supports UCD functions with very limited capabilities.
Because the
incoming call is forwarded as an intercom path and not a DIL (direct in line), the following
items will not work:
time table
overflow function
DISA message from a DISA card
IRNA
Integration with the wrong PBX or with certain K ey Systems pr esents limitati ons to the KX-
TVS50/80's standard functions.
W e do not recomme nd these sy stems for i nteg ratio n with the
KX-TVS50/80. The section 1.3.3 Which Phone Systems are Co mpatible? expl ains problems
with compatibility.
1.2 SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT, AND USE
16
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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 concer ned with changing system paramet ers through the
System Manager's Mailbox.
Message Management is concerned with recording voice prompts through the Message
Manager's Mailbox. These messages include Company Greetings, Company Name,

from callers.
Optional Expansion Memory Card:
The KX-TVS52 can expand the flash memory capacity of the KX-TVS50 by 2 h.
1.3.3 Which Phone Systems are Compatible?
We recommend integration with the following Panasonic phone systems:
Panasonic KX-TD1232
Panasonic KX-TD816
Panasonic KX-T336
Panasonic KX-T123211D, KX-TA624
Panasonic KX-TD308
We cannot guarantee adequa te i ntegration of the KX-TVS50/80 with other PBX sys te ms or
with Key Systems. If the customer does not have one of the recommended Panasonic PBX
systems, be sure that the system has the features listed below.
The PBX should have the following features for successful integration:
Single line (tip/ring) port circuits (Some PBXs need an OPX card to provide this
connection.)
Station to station DTMF signaling
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 dialing on/off codes)
If the PBX does not have these features, VPS operation will be limited.
1.3 SYSTEM BASICS

VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
See 3.1.4 PBX Requirements for Integration. You will find the fol lo wing infor mation about
each feature listed:
Description
Limitations of the system without the feature
Tests to determine whether the PBX has the feature
VOICE MAIL
The recommended Panaso nic PBX syst ems have Follo w-on ID an d Inband I nte gr atio n. When
callers are transferred to an extension that is forwarded to Voice Mail, Follow-on ID sends
callers directly to the mailbox. Without Follow-on ID, the caller would have to re-enter the
mailbox number when connected to the Voice Mail.
DTMF Integration enables the VPS to recognize 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 wit h DTMF tones befor e sending t he 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) Integration is available when the VPS is connected to a Panasonic KX-
TA624 or to a Panasonic KX-TD series PBX (d epending on the softw are v ersion ). This dig ital
integratio n provides the VPS with more informat ion than DTMF Integr ation. This infor mation
enables the system to identify the extension number of the caller, know where the call is
forwarded from and why, and recognize what the caller wants to do. Some features are
available only with APT/DPT Integration (Live Call Screening, Two-Way Recording, Two-
Way Transfer, Direct Mailbox Access, Intercom Paging, Auto Configuration, Caller Name
Announcement (system/personal), Caller ID Call Routing, Personal Greeting for Caller ID).
1.3.4 Installer Equipment and Software Requirements
The installer
must
have a l apt op c omput er or data terminal equipped with terminal emulation
software. We suggest you use something like HyperT e rminal by HILGRAEVE. The computer
is used to progra m the VPS. Terminal emulation software enables the ke yboar d to be use d as a
data entry device.
While both the laptop and data terminal will work, the laptop allows screens to be saved in a
file thr oughout the pr ocess. It is of ten hel pfu l to retr ie ve these files late r i f tec hnical suppor t is
needed.

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.

1.4 DIGITAL INTEGRATION
VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
23
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-TVS50/80 is connected to a KX-TA624. DPT
Integration is available when the KX-TVS50/80 is connected to a KX-TD digital PBX.
1.4.2 APT Integration
To the Panason ic KX-TA624, the VPS ports loo k lik e propri etar y tel ephones . The PBX think s
that the VPS is a proprietary telephone, and the VPS mimics all actions of a proprietary
telephone. Communication bet ween the VPS and the PBX thr ough digit al inte gration r equires
the proper software l eve l in the PBX and 4-wire conn ections for each po rt (KX-TVS50/80). To
communicate between the VPS and the PBX through APT Inte gration, the PBX and VPS must
be programmed to work together.
1.4.3 Connection Example — APT Integration
For example, you can connect jack 7 of the KX-TA624 to Port 1 of the VPS with a 4-wire
connection (see diagram belo w). Thi s connectio n creates 1 Voice Mail extension and can only
answer 1 call. This mea ns tha t a fully- conf igured 2-port s ystem requ ires 2 jac ks from th e PBX.
When APT Integration is act iv ated, a si ngle exte nsion jack prov ides 1 single-l ine interf ace at a
Port on the VPS. For exa mple , when 1 l ine cor d (4 wi re ) is connected to Port 1 on the VPS, 1
extension is provided.
1.4.4 DPT Integration
To the Panasonic KX-TD digital PBX, the VPS ports look like digital extensions. The PBX
thinks that the VPS is a digital phone, and the VPS mimi cs all acti ons of a digi tal s et. Anot her
advantage of digit al integration is that the 2B+D communication pro vides 2 VPS ports for each
Digital Station port . Communication between the VPS and the PBX through di gital integ ration
requires the proper software level in the PBX and 4-wire connections for each port (KX-

TVS50/80). T o communicate be tween the VPS and the PBX through DPT Inte gration, 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 ca lls. This means t hat a full y-configured 2-port syst em req uires only
1 jack from the PBX.
When DPT Integration is activated, a sin gle e xte nsion j ack pro v ides 2 singl e-lin e inte rf aces at
a Port on the VPS. For example, when 1 line cord (4 wire) is connected to Po rt 1 on the VPS,
2 extensions are provided.

INSTALLATION
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUT IONS
Please read the following precautions before installing the VPS.
2.1.1 Installation
The VPS needs to be installed on the wall. Improper placement of the system may result in
malfunction, noise, or discoloration. Avoid installing the VPS in the following places:
in direct sunlight; in hot, cold, or humid places
in new areas where there are t her mal s pri ngs , etc . (whe re sulfuric gas may damage the
equipment or contacts).
where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
in dusty places or places where water or oil may come in contact with the unit.
near high frequency generating devices such as sewing machines, elevators or electric
welders.
on or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment; near microwave ovens or air
conditioners. (Idea lly , the VPS sho uld not be in the r oom wit h these items and shoul d be
at least
1.8m {6 feet}
away from televisions.)
Do not obstruct the areas aro und the PBX and the VPS.
Both require space abo ve for cool ing
and space on the sides for maintenance and inspection.
2.1.2 Wiring
Do not wir e the telepho ne cable par allel to an A C power sou rce , computer, etc. If cables are
run near those wir es, shield the c ables with meta l tubing or u se shielded cables and ground
the shields.
Use protectors if running cables on the floor. Avoid running wire under carpets.
A void sharing a 120
V AC
power supply for computer s, tele xes, and other of f ice equipment
with the VPS. Induction noise from such equipment may interrupt the VPS operation.
When making any connections or remo ving the co ver, be sure the power switc h is turned of f.
When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Nev er install telepho ne jacks in wet locations unles s the jack is specif ically designed for
wet locations.
Nev er touch u ninsulated tel ephone wires or terminal s unless the telephone l ine has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

2.4 FRAME GROUND CONNECTION

IMPORTANT!!!

Connect the frame of the main unit to the ground.
1.
Loosen the screw.
2.
Insert the grounding wire.
3.
Tighten the screw.
4.
Connect the grounding wire to the ground.
In most of North America , the g round pr o vid ed by th e "Thi rd wire ground" at t he commerc ial
or residential power outlet will be satisfactory. However, in some cases this ground may be
installed incorrectly. Therefore, the following test procedure should be performed.

Test Procedure

1.
Obtain a suitable voltmeter and set it for a possible reading of up to 250 V AC.
2.
Connect the meter probes between the 2 main AC voltage points on the wall outlet. The
reading obtained should be 108 V AC-132 V AC.
3.
Move one of the meter probes to the third prong terminal (GND).
Either the same reading or a reading of 0 V should be obtained.
4.
If a reading of 0 V at 1 terminal and a readi ng of 108 V A C- 132 V A C at the other termi nal
is not obtained, the outlet is not properly grounded. This condition should be corrected by
a qualified electrician (per article 250 of the National Electrical Code).
5.
If a reading of 0 V at 1 terminal and a readi ng of 108 V A C- 132 V A C at the other termi nal
is obtained, then set the meter to the "OHMS/RX1" scale, place 1 probe at the GND
T er mina l and the oth er pro be at the te rminal which g a v e a read ing of 0 V. A reading of less
than 1 should be obtained. If the reading is not obtained, the outlet is not adequately
grounded. See a qualified electrician.
