5.7 KX-TA Series PBX Programming for Inband
Integration
Note
• The following procedures can also be used for KX-TE series PBXs if programming via the
Manager Extension is preferred.
APT Integration is recommended when using the VPS with a KX-TE or KX-TA series PBX, however,
Inband Integration is necessary when:
• the PBX has available SLT ports but no available APT ports.
• the software version of the KX-TA series PBX do not support APT Integration.
Note
• If the PBX is programmed to use 2-digit extension numbers, DTMF Integration is not
possible. Program the PBX to use 3-digit extension numbers using System Program [009].
1. Enable System Program [102] for each extension connected to the VPS.
This parameter is used to tell the PBX which extensions are connected to the VPS. Ports with
this parameter enabled can receive Follow-on ID and DTMF Signalling (busy, answered,
disconnect, etc.) if the Voice Mail Integration and Touchtone Integration features are also
enabled.
2. Enable System Program [103] to turn on DTMF Integration. On extensions with the Voice Mail
port parameter enabled, the PBX can send DTMF signals to indicate call status; this increases
VPS efficiency. Codes apply to all transferred calls; trunk calls only indicate a disconnection
(provided the PBX is programmed for CPC Detection, and the Telephone Company sends the
CPC signal). Refer to the Sequence Codes in 5.2.3 PBX Interface Parameters.
3. Put all extensions connected to the VPS into the same extension group using System Program
[600].
Reserve this extension group for these extensions! Do not mix other extensions into this
group.
4. Enable hunting for the VPS extension groups using System Program [100].
5. Set the hunting type for the VPS extension groups to "Circular" using System Program [101].
6. At every VPS extension, temporarily connect an SLT or test set, go off-hook and dial 7301# to
turn on Data Line Security. This prevents the PBX from sending Executive Override or Call
Waiting tones to those extensions. We recommend that all Voice Mail port extensions have this
feature enabled to avoid interruption during recording.
7. Select the appropriate trunk feature settings depending on how your customer plans to use the
VPS: a) to answer all incoming calls, b) as an operator backup, or c) to only answer calls not
answered by user extensions.
