4.7 KX-TA Series PBX Programming for APT
Integration
Programming procedures and availability may vary by country/area, software version, etc.
Refer to the documentation included with the PBX or consult your dealer for more information.
Note
• The following procedures can also be used for KX-TE series PBXs if programming via the
Manager Extension is preferred.
• For KX-TES824/TEM824, PBX software version 1.0.38 or later is required for APT
Integration. Consult your dealer for more information.
It is important that the PBX has the proper software level to allow APT Integration with the VPS.
Follow the procedures below to confirm the software level, then complete the required programming
before starting up the VPS.
All of the following procedures must be completed after entering system programming. Refer
to the KX-TA series Installation Manual for instructions on how to enter the system
programming mode.
1. Using the Manager Extension, check the software version of the KX-TA series PBX using System
Program [998].
Example: Y581J000421
(XX)
The underlined digits represent the software production date code (year, month, day). For APT
Integration, the production date must be 000421 or later.
If the software version of the PBX is lower than this, consult your dealer.
From the SYS-PGM NO ? screen:
a) Enter [998].
b) Press the NEXT button (SP-PHONE). The PBX displays the ROM version and the date it
was created.
2. Set the date and time using System Program [000].
Date and time are automatically synchronised between the VPS and the PBX during Quick
Setup.
3. Set extension numbering using System Program [009].
4. Assign the voice mail port. This program tells the PBX which jacks will be connected to the VPS.
This allows the PBX to send the proper APT Integration information to those ports. Jack 07, or
jacks 07 and 08 can be assigned for the VPS1 as the voice mail port. Jack 15, or jacks 15 and
16 can be assigned for the VPS2.
