2.3 System Data Control

2.3.1 PC Programming

Description

Although many PBX features can be programmed using a proprietary telephone (PT) (rarrow.gif 2.3.2 PT Programming), a PC connected to the PBX can use the KX-TDA Maintenance Console software to program in further detail. System programming, diagnosis, and data upload/download can be performed either through on-site programming or remote programming.
1)On-site Programming: Programming that is performed using an on-site PC connected directly to the PBX.
2)Remote Programming: Programming that is performed using an off-site PC that connects to the PBX via a CO line.
1.Connection Methods for On-site Programming

Method

Description

Required Hardware

Serial Interface (RS-232C port)
The PC is connected to the PBX via the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) of the PBX.
USB
The PC is connected to the PBX via the USB port located on the MPR card, or to the USB port of a USB Module attached to a digital proprietary telephone (DPT).
MPR card (preinstalled) or USB Module
LAN
The PC is connected to the PBX via Ethernet cable to the CTI-LINK card.
CTI-LINK card
Modem
(connected to SLT port)*
The PC is connected to a modem, which is then connected to an SLT port of the PBX. Use the modem to dial the floating extension number assigned to the analog remote maintenance feature (rarrow.gif Modem Floating Extension Number [811]) to access the PBX.
RMT card and user-supplied modem
ISDN TA
(connected to ISDN extension line)*
The PC is connected to an ISDN terminal adapter (TA), which is then connected to the PBX via an ISDN extension line. Use the TA to dial the floating extension number assigned to the ISDN remote maintenance feature. (rarrow.gif ISDN Remote Floating Extension Number [812])
User-supplied ISDN TA which supports CAPI
*
Remote access must be enabled through system programming (rarrow.gif Remote Programming [810]) when performing on-site programming via modem or ISDN TA.
2.Connection Methods for Remote Programming

Method

Description

Required Hardware

Off-site modem
Call the PBX and have the call directed to the floating extension number assigned to the analog remote maintenance feature (rarrow.gif Modem Floating Extension Number [811]) using one of the following methods:
Direct Access: Using the off-site modem, dial a telephone number with the modem which will direct your call (via Direct In Line (DIL) or Direct Inward Dialing (DID) distribution) to the floating extension number assigned to the analog remote maintenance feature.
DISA: Using a telephone, dial a telephone number which will direct your call (via DIL or DID distribution) to a floating extension number used by the Direct Inward System Access (DISA) feature (rarrow.gif 1.15.6 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)). Next, dial the floating extension number assigned to the analog remote maintenance feature. Then access the PBX with the modem.
Call Transfer: Using a telephone, dial a telephone number which will direct your call to an operator (or other extension of the PBX) and request to be transferred to the floating extension number assigned to the analog remote maintenance feature. (rarrow.gif 1.11.1 Call Transfer) Then access the PBX with the modem.
RMT card and user-supplied modem
On-site modem
The modem is connected to the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) and also to either an extension port which is assigned as the DIL/DID destination, or to a CO line directly. AT commands can be sent to the modem automatically when it is connected to the Serial Interface (RS-232C port) and can be programmed beforehand, through system programming, to initialize the modem. AT commands can also be sent manually in the PT system programming mode (rarrow.gif External Modem Control [801]).
User-supplied modem
ISDN TA
The TA is connected to the off-site PC and connects to the PBX via an ISDN CO line. Using the TA, dial a telephone number which will direct your call (via DIL or DID distribution) to the floating extension number assigned to the ISDN remote maintenance feature. (rarrow.gif ISDN Remote Floating Extension Number [812])
User-supplied ISDN TA which supports CAPI

Conditions

Only one system programming session is permitted at a time. Access will be denied when a second party tries to perform system programming, including system programming via a PT.
Programmer Code and Password for System Programming
To access system programming, a programmer code (login ID for the programmer) and its password must be entered. There are three programmer codes, which are set at the factory and cannot be changed. Each programmer code has a unique password which is also set at the factory. These passwords can be changed through system programming. If the wrong password is entered a preprogrammed number of times during remote (off-site) programming (Default: None [no limitation]), access will be locked and can only be unlocked by enabling remote access once again through on-site system programming (rarrow.gif Remote Programming [810]).

Programmer Code

Password

Authorized Programming

Installer Level Programmer Code
System Password for Installer

2.3.2 PT Programming

Description

A proprietary telephone (PT) can be used to customize the settings of the PBX or of an extension, using the following programming features:

Programming Type

Description

Example

Authorized Programmer

Personal Programming
Used by an extension user to customize the extension's settings.
PT Display Language, Call Waiting Tone, etc.
Extension user
System Programming
Used by an authorized party to customize the PBX.
Intercept Destination, ARS Mode, Date and Time, etc.
Authorized administrator or extension user
Manager Programming
Used by an extension assigned as a manager to customize the current state of an extension, or to grant special privileges temporarily to an extension user.
Switching the current time mode, Remote Extension Lock, Remote PIN Clear, etc.
Extension assigned as a manager

Conditions

Class of Service (COS) programming determines the level of programming an extension user is authorized to perform (rarrow.gif Programming Mode Limitation [516]):
System programming and personal programming
Personal programming only
No programming may be performed
The extension which is connected to the lowest numbered port on the card installed in the lowest numbered slot can perform both personal programming and system programming regardless of the extension's COS.
COS programming determines which extensions are manager extensions and can therefore perform manager programming.
During programming, the PT is considered to be busy and will not receive calls.
Only one system programming (including PC programming) or manager programming session is permitted at a time, i.e., these two programming features cannot be performed simultaneously by two users.
The PBX will allow 16 simultaneous personal programming sessions, or one system or manager programming session and 15 personal programming sessions.
System Programming Password Level
To access system programming, a valid password must be entered. There are two types of passwords; they are set at the factory but can be changed through system programming.

Password Type

Authorized Programming

Password Assignment

System Password for Administrator–for PT Programming
All system programming that is available through PT programming.
System Password for Administrator–for PT Programming [110]
System Password for User–for PT Programming
System programming that has been made accessible to PT users through PC programming.
System Password for User–for PT Programming [111]
Personal Programming Data Reset
A PT user can return settings made through personal programming (Preferred Line Assignment, Live Call Screening Mode, etc.) to their default settings all at once.

Conditions

When the PBX is first started (i.e., started up with its default settings), Quick Setup will launch when accessing the PBX with KX-TDA Maintenance Console. If a PT was used to set the PBX time and date before running this software, Quick Setup will not launch.

2.3.4 Automatic Time Adjustment

Description

The PBX clock can be adjusted automatically in the following two ways:
1.Daylight Saving Time Setting
The start and end dates of Daylight Saving Time can be programmed. The PBX clock will automatically adjust itself one hour forward or backward at 2:00 A.M. on the programmed date, if enabled through system programming. At 2:00 A.M. on the start date, the clock will change to 3:00 A.M., and at 2:00 A.M. on the end date, the clock will change to 1:00 A.M.
Note
If a Timed Reminder (Wake-up call) is set:
On the Daylight Saving Time start date, a reminder set for between 2:00 A.M. and 3:00 A.M. will not ring.
On the Daylight Saving Time end date, a reminder set for between 1:00 A.M. and 2:00 A.M. will ring twice.
2.Time Information from Telephone Company
Time information can be received when
An incoming or outgoing call through an ISDN line is received/made.
An incoming call through an analog line with Caller ID which includes time information is received.
The PBX clock will be adjusted everyday with the first call after 3:05 AM, if enabled through system programming.
Note
If a Timed Reminder (Wake-up call) is set, the setting will not ring or will ring twice depending on the adjustment.

Conditions

Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) will log call information using the PBX clock so that the logging time will be overlapped at the end of Daylight Saving Time. (rarrow.gif 1.23.1 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR))

2.3.5 Flexible Numbering/Fixed Numbering

Description

To dial another extension user or to access PBX features, access numbers (extension numbers or feature numbers) are required.
There are three types of numbering plans:
1)Flexible Numbering (available while a dial tone is heard)
2)Flexible Numbering (available while a busy, DND, or ringback tone is heard)
3)Fixed Numbering (available while dialing or talking)
1.Flexible Numbering (available while a dial tone is heard)
Extension numbers and feature numbers which are available while a dial tone is heard can be customized for easy use (rarrow.gif Flexible Numbering [100]). The numbers must not conflict. It is also possible to use the default numbering (Pattern 1 or Pattern 2) shown in the following table:
a)Extension Numbers (Extension Numbering Scheme 1 through 32): Extension numbers can consist of up to four digits. They consist of either a one- or two-digit leading number (0-9 or 00-99) and a one- or two-digit suffix (0-9 or 00-99). The default suffix is a two-digit number (00-99).

[Example]
If the number "3" is programmed as a leading number for the 1st extension numbering scheme, and "XX" is programmed as the additional digits, extension numbers 300 through 399 are available.
b)Feature Numbers: Up to four-digit number consisting of 0—9, "asterisk.gif", and "#"
c)Other PBX Extension Numbers (Other PBX Extension Number [TIE] 01 through 16): Up to three-digit number consisting of 0—9, "asterisk.gif", and "#"
[Flexible Numbering Table (available while a dial tone is heard)]
The default Flexible Numbering Table (Pattern 1 or Pattern 2) is selected when running Quick Setup (rarrow.gif 2.3.3 Quick Setup).
