AEC Disconnect
Description
This feature allows the System to send a disconnect signal of 1 second to an analog device indicating
that the calling party has hung up (terminated the call). This feature is useful with a Third-party Voice
Mail or an Answering Machine. By default this feature is disabled.
Hardware Requirements
•AEC port
Related Programming
•FF3-0: Loop Disconnect Signal
Considerations
•The 1 second time duration of the disconnect signal is fixed. (It cannot be changed.)
Attendant Groups
Description
An attendant phone is often used as a central answering point for other extensions. In addition,
attendant phones frequently have special capabilities for monitoring and programming extensions.
You can reach the assigned attendant group by dialing the feature access code for Attendant Calls
(usually 0). If an attendant phone is available but does not answer within a set time, the call will move
to the next available attendant phone. If all members of the attendant group are busy for a specified
time, the call can be forwarded to other extensions or another hunt group. The system allows up to 20
extensions to be included in an attendant group.

Section 700 - OperationChapter 3. System Features
•The pilot number for an attendant group is flexible (i.e., any extension number can be designated
as the pilot [not a real extension]).
•If a member of the attendant group has Do-Not-Disturb (DND) or Call Forwarding - All set, that
phone is temporarily removed from the attendant group.
•If a member of the attendant group has Call Forwarding - Busy set and the extension is busy, the
call goes to the next phone in the attendant group.
•If all members are busy for the duration of the busy queuing timer, the call can be forwarded to
another hunt group or another extension.
•Attendant groups support the following call types:
• Direct Inward Dialing (DID) / Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) / Direct
Dial Inward (DDI)
• Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
• Extension calls
• Private network attendant calls
• Call reversion

Considerations
•For more information, see Section 520 - Built-In ACD Reference Manual.
Automatic Route Selection
Description
When Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is enabled, the system follows a preselected route for calls.
Usually the selected routing is the least cost route.
ARS works in conjunction with Toll Restriction Service (TRS). Calls can be denied based on the
programmed TRS level for the originating party. (For more information, see “Ringing Modes” on
page 3-51.)
•Three levels of ARS checking are available based on the dialed number following the ARS
access code:
• Direct Route Selection: The simplest form of ARS routing that upon ARS entry
(enter 9) directly selects the trunk group and any dialed number modification.
• Route List Selection: A more complex routing that includes up to 5 alternative
levels of route selection and includes TRS level checking.
• Time List Selection: The most complex routing that determines the appropriate
route list based upon the day and time.
•Forced ARS is available on an Extension Class of Service (COS) basis.
•A special day list provides tailored ARS routing for up to 20 holidays, vacation days, etc.
•Automatic modification of dialed numbers is available. This includes deleting up to 24 prefix
digits and adding up to a 10-digit prefix and a 10-digit suffix. The modification of dialed
numbers can include pauses, Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) conversion, itemized code

Background Music/MOH Separation
Description
Separate inputs are provided for Background Music (BGM) and Music-on-Hold (MOH). This allows
one music or sound source to be used for background music and another music or sound source to be
used for music on hold.
A typical advantage of this is playing a pre-recorded promotional tape to held parties (since many
may be customers) while providing a selected background music for use in the office.
Note:
CPC-HS has only one input that is used for both BGM and MOH.
Hardware Requirements
•Background music requires an SCC card (VB-44181).
576-50-700DBS 576 (USA) issued September 20013-7

CO Ringing Types
Description
Several types of CO ringing are available for the System including the following:
•Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Ringing
•Direct In Line (DIL) Ringing
•Direct Inward System Access (DISA) Ringing
•Multiple Ringing
These ringing types may be used in any combination in the System.
DID Ringing
DID Ringing allows calls on a common CO to be directed to ring to a specific extension or group of
extensions, etc. based upon the final digits dialed. These final digits are received from the DID trunk
and compared to a DID Table that determines where the calls should ring. Depending on the
assignments in the DID Table, names or trunk numbers are displayed. (Names can be up to 10 digits
long.)
DID Ringing can be very useful by sending calls directly to a specific extension, hunt group, etc.
based upon the number dialed. Since a relatively small number of trunks handle the DID calls, this
can be more cost efficient than DIL trunks or attendant group answering and transfer. (DID may send
576-50-700DBS 576 (USA) issued September 20013-17
Chapter 3. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
a call to a group using the Virtual Extension feature.) DID Busy/Delayed Ringing is also available
with DID Ringing. (See “DID Day/Night Busy/Delayed Ringing” on page 3-52.)

•N/A
Considerations
•Caller ID takes priority over the DID name assignment.
•Only one of the two DID tables may have name assignments.
•If the DID/DIL destination is a Directory Number (DN), the call goes to an extension that has a
destination key even if the Primary Directory Number extension is busy or does not answer.
•If the DID/DIL destination is an UNA extension, the UNA will ring depending on DID number
tenant group/ DIL incoming CO tenant group.
DIL Ringing
DIL Ringing allows calls on a specific CO line to be directed to ring a specific extension, System
Speed Dial (SSD) number (for redirecting calls out), and hunting group.
This can be very useful when a trunk is dedicated to a specific person or purpose. However, this can
be a more expensive use of the line since it has a more limited use.
Prior to Version 3.0, it was impossible to distinguish between Private Line incoming calls and
Directory Number incoming calls. Version 3.0 and higher allows the person receiving the call to
easily distinguish between these types of incoming calls.

DIL Delayed Incoming Ring Enhancement
Prior to Version 3.0, a DIL call that was not answered by the Immediate Ringing extension was
simultaneously passed to all other extensions in the MCO if Delayed Ringing was set. Beginning with
Version 3.0, an incoming DIL call that is not answered can be passed to a single Delayed Ring
destination or to all extensions with an MCO key that includes the incoming trunk. If the Delayed
Ringing extension is not answered, the call is forwarded the extension’s preprogrammed location
(e.g., Voice Mail, Call Forwarding, etc.) For example:

Day/Night System Mode
Description
Day/Night System Mode enables you to switch the System between two Day modes and a Night
mode. These modes determine incoming call handling, Toll Restriction Service (TRS) call handling,
and attendant group support.
While in a Night mode (generally used at night or any time when your office is closed), incoming
calls can ring at selected extensions (e.g., a night watchman’s extension or an extension connected to
an answering machine). Outbound calls can be restricted to certain phones. Calls can be directed to a
nighttime attendant group instead of the normal daytime attendant group.
The System provides one Night mode for night call handling. However, there are three night feature
access codes (Night, Night 1, and Night 2). These three codes may be used to provide different twoway Voice Processing Unit messages (i.e., Night may select one message, Night 1 may select a
different message, and Night 2 may select a third message.)
Typically, the Day mode is used for normal call processing of outside calls, TRS calls, and attendant
calls. The second day mode (Day 2) may be used for alternative call handling such as during a lunch
break, etc.
There are two ways to change day/night service modes:
•Manually
•Automatically

patterns can be set to change modes up to 5 times per day.
Up to 20 special days can be programmed with up to 5 automatic mode changes for the day.
An Exception Day period is available for overriding the automatic mode for extended periods of time.
For instance, if an office is shut down for the week of July 4th, the System can be programmed to not
operate in the automatic mode for those days. The System will stay in the same mode for the period.
The mode may be manually changed at any time.
For instance, the System can be set to automatically enter Day 1 mode at 8:00 a.m. on weekdays and
enter Night mode at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. All incoming calls, TRS and attendant group handling
would change accordingly. On Saturday and Sunday, the System would stay in Night mode.
The Automatic Day/Night modes may be set in User Maintenance. See “Set Mode Schedule” on page

Hunting Groups
Description
Hunting allows calls to be automatically transferred among a preselected group of phones. If a phone
is busy or there is no answer in a set amount of time, the call will hunt to the next phone in the hunt
group.
A phone assigned to a hunt group is called a member. Up to 20 members can be assigned to a hunt
group. Up to 12 hunt groups are available per cabinet.
Several methods of station hunting are available. Some methods require use of a pilot number (a
fictitious extension number) while others start by a direct call to a hunt group member.
The System supports the following hunting groups:
•Pilot Terminal Hunt Group
•Pilot Distributed Hunt Group
•Switch Back Hunt Group
•Circular Hunt Group
•Next Extension/Hunt Group
Pilot Terminal Hunt Group
Pilot Terminal Hunt Group directs calls to a pilot number. The System begins with the first member
and hunts through the group for the first available member to receive the call. If no member is
available (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call is queued
for the first member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer to specify how long the
System will search the initial hunt group before beginning to search the next hunt group or extension.
The main advantage of this type of hunting is that the same hunting order is taken for all calls. This is
useful in presenting calls to selected members first.
Pilot Distributed Hunt Group
Pilot Distributed Hunt Group directs calls to a pilot number. The System reviews who received the
last call and begins hunting with the next member. If the last member in the group is reached and no
member is available, the hunt continues with the first member and proceeds forward. After a complete
search and no available member is found (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified
amount of time), the call is queued for the first member to become available. You can also set the
Queuing Timer and specify how the long the System will search the initial hunt group before
beginning to search the next hunt group or extension.
The main advantage of this type of hunting is that calls are evenly distributed throughout the group.
Switch Back Hunt Group
Switch Back Hunt Group initiates hunting in a specified group for calls made to a member extension
in the group. If the called member of the hunt group is busy, the System begins hunting forward to the
end of the group. If no member is available, the system hunts backward
member is available (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call
is queued for the first member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer and specify
how the long the System will search the initial hunt group before beginning to search the next hunt
group or extension.
from the called member. If no
The main advantage of this type of hunting is that calls can be directed to start with a selected portion
of the hunting group based on the directed number. However, all members are eventually searched.
3-34DBS 576 (USA) issued September 2001576-50-700
Section 700 - OperationChapter 3. System Features
Circular Hunt Group
Circular Hunt Group initiates hunting in a specified group for calls made to a member extension in the
group. If the called member of the hunt group is busy, the System begins hunting forward to the end
of the group and then moves forward
(extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call is queued for the first
member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer and specify how the long the

from the first member of the group. If no member is available
Next Extension/Hunt Group

•If a member of the hunt group has Call Forwarding - Busy set and the extension is busy, the call
goes to the next phone in the hunt group.
•If all members are busy for the duration of the busy queuing timer, the call can be forwarded to
another hunt group or another extension.
•A hunt group can contain both real extensions and virtual extensions. If virtual, several phones
can be made to ring at the same time.
•The pilot number for a hunt group is flexible (i.e., any extension number can be designated as the
pilot [not a real extension]).
•Hunt groups support the following call types:
• Direct Inward Dialing (DID) / Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) / Direct

• Private network attendant calls
• Call forward incoming

LAN TAPI
Description
LAN TAPI opens a line of communications between the DBS 576’s switching
systems and a PC. This is accomplished through the use of a Telephony Server
connected to a LAN. Users on PCs can use specific applications to send and receive
information to and from the DBS 576 via the LAN. Using a software program called
the Telephony Service Provider (TSP), call control information (TAPI commands) is
translated into commands that can be interpreted by the DBS 576. This “open”
communication between the PC and the telephone system allows the user to initiate
and handle calls via the application running on the PC.
Figure 3-1 on page 37 illustrates the major LAN TAPI components and system
connections.

For example, a user at PC (1) selects the “Dial” function from the TAPI-compliant
Personal Information Manager (PIM). The operating system routes this request over
the LAN (2) to the main Telephony Server (3), which translates and forwards the
request using Panasonic’s CT-API Protocal over a serial connection (4) to the DBS
576 (5). The DBS 576 then places the call from the user's telephone (6). The entire
process is completed quickly and automatically once invoked by the user.

MCO Tenant Group
Description
When the System is configured for tenant operation, MCO Tenant Group determines which trunks
groups are used for incoming and outgoing calls.
Each MCO trunk group is assigned to an MCO tenant group for incoming calls and for outgoing calls.
By default, Trunk Group 1 is assigned to MCO Tenant Group 1, Trunk Group 2 is assigned to MCO
Tenant Group 2, etc. for both incoming and outgoing calls.
For outgoing calls, each tenant group has 5 auto-trunk selections available. By default the first autotrunk selection is seized by entering 9, the second by entering 81, etc.
The number of MCO tenant groups available depends on the number of ports in the system as follows:
• 96-port system: 1 to 12 MCO tenant groups
• 192-port system: 1to 24 MCO tenant groups
• 288-port system: 1 to 36 MCO tenant groups
• 384-port system: 1 to 48 MCO tenant groups
• 480-port system: 1 to 60 MCO tenant groups
• 576-port system: 1 To 72 MCO tenant groups

Considerations
•When you first assign a trunk to a Trunk Tenant Group from the initial setting of (0), the system
automatically assigns the trunks as a member of the same number MCO Trunk Group (FF5-2 and
FF5-3). For instance, if Trunk 10 is assigned as a member of Trunk Tenant Group 1, then Trunk
10 is automatically assigned as a member of MCO Outbound Trunk Group 1 and MCO Inbound
Trunk Group 1. These assignments can be manually changed if desired.

Station Message Detail Recording
Description
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) provides detailed call records of outgoing calls. This
record is printed on a serial printer connected to the RS-232C port. SMDR records can also be output
to an external call accounting system.
Various types of information are reported on the SMDR record and each type of information occupies
a set position in the SMDR format. Three SMDR formats are available (See Figure 2 on page 3-56.)
One type of information is the “condition code” which occupies the first position in the output format.
This code specifies what type of call was made or received (e.g., DISA Incoming call [S] or Closed
Numbering call [W]). However, condition codes are prioritized, and the type of call determines what
code is displayed.
The following tables shows the priority of condition codes for outgoing calls and incoming calls.
Table 3-5. Priority of outgoing call condition codes
Priority
Highest

For example, an outgoing call is an LCR Outgoing call (L) but it is also a transferred call. The SMDR
data condition code will be T to indicate that the call was an Outgoing Transfer. (A transferred call’s
condition code takes precedence over the type of call - LCR Outgoing call [L].)

Toll Restriction Service
Description
Toll Restriction Service (TRS) allows access levels, including the prohibition of long distance calls or

related calls and reduces phone bills by only allowing long distance calls over designated lines.
TRS can be used in conjunction with Automatic Route Selection (ARS).
•TRS classes are set on an extension and trunk basis. Up to 50 TRS classes can be assigned.
•Each TRS class is then assigned to a TRS level. This level is used as the basis for allowing or
restricting calls.
•There are 10 TRS levels available: 0 denies all calls, 1-8 may be partially restrictive per
assignments, and 9 allows all calls.
•TRS can restrict the number of digits dialed (1 to 20 digits limit or no limit).
•TRS can restrict the use of System Speed Dials (SSDs) for out dialing on a TRS class basis;
either no system speed dials or limit the range of SSDs.
•TRS can restrict the use of the star (*) or pound (#) digits on a TRS class basis.
The following calling restrictions are also available:
•Forced ARS Restriction (The ARS feature controls outside calls.)

Virtual Port used for Virtual Extension
You can assign an actual extension number to a virtual port. You can then assign the extension
number as any actual extension (incoming call settings and types, Station Class of Service (COS),
tenant group, pickup group, etc.). You can also assign the virtual port to an FF key on one or more
telephones and set to ring. Any call directed to the virtual port extension number will ring the assigned
telephone(s).

Answer Supervision for Voice Mail
Description
This feature allows the System to send an answer signal to third-party Voice Mail systems.
Without this feature a third-party Voice Mail cannot receive a signal indicating that a System
extension has answered. In other words, to determine that the extension has answered, the Voice Mail
system would have to wait until the extension stops receiving ringback tone. As a result, waiting for
the ringback to stop often delays connection times for calls from Voice Mail to extensions. By
sending an answer signal, this feature provides quicker response time between the DBS 576 and the
Voice Mail system.

waiting for voice mail to answer. You can assign a Voice Mail Transfer key from a phone or through
system programing.
Two Voice Mail Transfer keys are available. VM Transfer Key 1 will transfer to a voice mail
extension number. Voice Mail Transfer Key 2 will transfer to the voice mail pilot number.
Prior to Version 3.6, the VM/TRF key could not be used to transfer a call into Voice Mail on another
networked DBS 576 or DBS 576HD system. Beginning with Version 3.6, the user can press the VM/
TRF key to send a call across a node to another networked DBS 576 or DBS 576HD system.

•The VM/TRF key can be assigned to any key phone, DSS/72 or EM/24. The VM/TRF key
cannot be assigned to a one-touch key.
•The VM/TRF key can be used to transfer intercom as well as CO calls to a voice mailbox.
•The Voice Mail Transfer ID codes are assigned in the Maintenance Programming section. Up to
ten digits can be stored.
•The system responds to key operations during the transfer in the following ways:
• Pressing the FLASH key cancels the VM/TRF and returns intercom dial tone to the
user. When the VM/TRF is cancelled, the incoming call is still connected but is on
hold.
• If a valid key (CO key or second DSS key, for example) is pressed, the VM/TRF is
cancelled and the operation invoked by the key is performed.

Chapter 3. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
• If an invalid key (REDIAL, for example) is pressed, the VM/TRF is cancelled, and the
user receives busy tone.
•Once VM/TRF is pressed, the user can dial up to 10 digits before completing the transfer.
•If a user begins to perform the voice mail transfer and the extension cannot hold a call (one call is
already on non-appearance hold, for example), the system will keep the call in the talk state and
will not allow the voice mail transfer to be initiated.
•If the VM/TRF key stores a number other than a voice mail extension number, the system does
not send DSS/BLF information or the extension number that is dialed after pressing VM/TRF.
Built-In Voice Mail with 2-Way Call Recording
The DBS 576’s Built-In Voice Mail option provides simplified Voice Mail functionality. Hardware for
this option is installed inside the DBS 576 cabinet, and it is customized in system programming.
Each Built-In Voice Mail system supports up to 248 private extension mailboxes, plus another 6 for
general use. Up to 16 users can simultaneously access a single Voice Mail system. A multiple-cabinet
system can support up to 4 Voice Mail systems (minimum 4-cabinet configuration).
These are some of the functions of Built-In Voice Mail:
•Extensions can be automatically assigned mailboxes (the mailbox number is the
same as the extension number).
•General-use mailboxes can be set up.
•Basic functions of Auto Attendant and backup call answering can be
programmed.
•Messages can be “broadcast” (copied) to multiple extensions.
•Calls can be evenly distributed to different mailboxes during auto-answer mode.
•2-way call recording can be performed. A recording can be either automatically
or manually stored as a message in any mailbox.
•1-digit intercom dialing can be used during Voice Mail service (for example, the
caller wants to transfer himself to another extension after leaving a message).
•Automatic notification of a mailbox message to an outside pager or phone
number can be programmed.
