What’s MATWorX 32?
MATWorX 32 is a 32-bit Windows-based software 
application that enables you to program and maintain 
an unlimited number of NEAX2000 IVS PBXs via 
your computer. MATWorX 32 utilizes a client/server 
architecture that allows multiple dialogs (Add-Ins) to 
communicate with a PBX. You can connect to and 
program up to four PBXs at the same time.
MATWorX 32 provides a graphical user interface 
(GUI) to a NEAX2000 IVS. This design lets you 
navigate quickly and intuitively throughout the 
program, thus saving you valuable time with your 
PBX maintenance tasks.
MATWorX 32 communicates with a PBX via the PBX 
Access Module (PAM). The PAM is an application of 
MATWorX 32 which acts as a gateway for connection 
and communication between the MATWorX 32 tools 
and a specific PBX. This chain of communication is 
necessary for the successful operation of all the 
MATWorX 32 tools and related PBX applications. 
Refer to Chapter 5 “PBX Access Module (PAM)” for 
more information about the PAM.

MATWorX 32 Overview
MATWorX 32 Tools
There are three kinds of tools included in the 
MATWorX 32 program: Add-Ins, MACH Script 
Editor, and a PBX Configuration Wizard. These tools 
are accessible from the Taskbar.
Add-Ins
Add-Ins are the basic tools of MATWorX 32. Each 
one provides you with specialized capabilities to 
program PBX features and functions. MATWorX 32 
comes with more than a dozen Add-Ins that can be 
accessed from the Taskbar. In addition, you can also 
create custom Add-Ins for specialized business 
solutions by purchasing a developer’s kit from NEC or 
an authorized NEC dealer. Refer to Chapter 6 “Add-
Ins” for more information.
MACH Script Editor
This is a powerful time-saving tool that enables you to 
create a list of NEAX2000 IVS commands that 
perform tasks in the PBX. This list is referred to as a 
script, which can be saved and run at anytime.You can 
also use the MACH Script Editor to perform many 
other operations. Refer to Chapter 7 “MACH Script 
Editor” for more information.
PBX Configuration Wizard
The PBX Configuration Wizard is a custom tool in 
MATWorX 32 that enables you to establish the proper 
communication settings between your computer and 
the NEAX2000 IVS. The Wizard asks you simple 
questions and then uses the information to 
automatically configure the connection for the PC and 
the PBX. Refer to “Using the PBX Configuration 
Wizard” on page 29 for more information on accessing 
and using the PBX Configuration Wizard.

MATWorX 32 Applications
MATWorX 32 software includes three separate 
applications that can run independently from one 
another. However, when used in conjunction with 
MATWorX 32 or each other, these applications 
provide a robust suite of PBX maintenance 
applications.
PBX Access Module (PAM)
The PAM acts as a gateway between MATWorX 32 
tools and connected NEAX2000 IVS PBXs. It 
provides connection and communication links for 
programming the PBX. Refer to Chapter 5 “PBX 
Access Module (PAM)” for more information.
Scheduler
The Scheduler is a versatile application that can be 
used stand-alone or in conjunction with the MACH 
Script Editor. You can build and schedule scripts 
(series of MOC commands) all within the Scheduler, 
or you can build scripts using the MACH Script Editor 
and then schedule them to run using the Scheduler. 
Refer to Chapter 8 “Scheduler” for more information.
DESIWorX
DESIWorX is a unique application that enables you to 
create and print function key labels for your Dterm 
stations. The labels are saved in a database and can be 
modified and printed when necessary. Refer to 
Chapter 9 “DESIWorX” for more information.

Introduction to Working in Windows 95
If you are new to working in Windows 95 or would 
like a refresher on Windows terminology, functions, 
and navigational procedures, take a minute to access 
the Microsoft Windows Tutorial Tour by following the 
steps below.
1. Launch Microsoft Windows 95 on your 
computer.
2. Select 
Help from the 
Start taskbar.
3. Select 
Tour: Ten Minutes to Usin
g Windows 
under the 
Contents tab.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen.
Navigating Through the MATWorX 32 Taskbar
The MATWorX 32 Taskbar (Figure 2-1) is the main 
window of the program. It contains buttons and pull-
down menus listing the selections available in the 
program. Each button or menu selection provides 
access to the tools and applications available in the 
program. To activate a selection, click on it. 
The Taskbar offers dynamic functionality to the 
program by allowing you to change it based on the 
Add-Ins you want to use. For example, by default each 
Add-In appears as a menu item and a button on the 
Taskbar. If you remove an Add-In from the Taskbar 
(via the Add-In Manager), it will no longer display as 
a menu item or button. If you choose to add it back, it 
will re-appear on the Taskbar.
The Taskbar enables you to navigate through the 
program and perform various functions. It is also the 
launch point for MATWorX 32 tools and applications. 
The default Taskbar items and corresponding buttons, 
where applicable, are described on the following 
pages.
