Voice Recognition Adaptor
Guidelines
• A VB-44101 voice recognition adaptor can be installed in the VB-44224 key 
phone so that the phone can be used as a voice recognition phone.
• You can call by name or execute other functions by function names.
• Locate the Voice Recognition Adaptor within 400 ft. (120m) of the cabinet. The 
maximum loop circuit resistance to a Voice Recognition Adaptor is 20 Ohms.
• When the Voice Recognition Adaptor is installed, the telephone cannot be wall 
mounted.
• When the Voice Recognition Adaptor is installed, a DSS or EM24 cannot be 
attached to the case.
Installation
1.  Remove the wall-mount adaptor from the bottom of taking care not to damage 
the hooks.

DSS
Guidelines
• The DSS (VB-44320) is a 72-key console that can be attached to a telephone. It 
provides direct station selection and busy lamp fields for internal lines. 
• If more than one DSS is assigned to a telephone, only one of the DSS can be 
cabled from the same wall jack as the telephone. An additional DSS must be 
cabled from separate wall jacks.
• The DSS comes with a mounting bracket, screws, and a two-conductor cable for 
connecting the DSS to the key phone.
• Locate the DSS within 400 ft. (120m) of the cabinet. The maximum loop circuit 
resistance to a DSS is 20 Ohms.
Installation
1.  Attach the DSS to the key phone using the mounting plate and the four screws.
2.  Connect the DSS to the key phone using the two-conductor cable.
3.  Connect the DSS to the secondary socket using a four-conductor cable.

EM24
Guidelines
• The EM24 (VB-44310) provides 24 flexible function (FF) keys. It can be attached 
to any key phone.
• The EM24 comes with a mounting bracket, screws, and a two-conductor cable for 
connecting it to the key phone.
• Locate the EM24 within 400 ft. (120m) of the cabinet. The maximum loop circuit 
resistance to a EM24 is 20 Ohms.
Installation
1.  Attach the EM24 to the key phone using the mounting plate and the four screws, 
as shown in Figure 6-19.
2.  Connect the EM24 to the key phone using the two-conductor cable.
3.  Connect the EM24 to the secondary socket using a four-conductor cable.

TA P I  A d a p t o r
Guidelines
• The TAPI adaptor acts as an interface between the DBS 576 and the TAPI 
application on your PC.
• To use the TAPI adaptor, you will need a TAPI Service Provide (SP) software.
• A 9-pin (female) D-SUB RS-232C cable is provided with your TAPI adaptor.
• If your PC is equipped with a 25-pin D-SUB RS232C connector, make the RS-
232C cable shown in Figure 6-4, Connections for D-SUB 9-pin to D-SUB 25-pin 
cable.
• See Section 570 TAPI Installation Guide for details of TAPI.
Installation
1.  Connect one end of the RS-232C cable to an available serial (Com) port on the 
PC.
2.  Connect the other end of the RS-232C cable to the TAPI adaptor, as shown in 
Figure 6-20.
3.  Connect the phone line to the TAPI adaptor, then the DBS 576 line.
Note:Be sure to attach the phone line before connecting the DBS 576 internal line. 
Connecting the DBS 576 internal line before the phone line may result in operational 
errors. Also, be sure the lines are plugged into the appropriate receptacles.

Doorphone Adaptor
Guidelines
• The Doorphone Adaptor (VB-43701) requires a door opener. In addition, a 
Doorphone (VB-43705) is normally used with the Doorphone Adaptor. Door 
openers are not sold by Panasonic, but can be purchased separately from an 
electronics dealer.
• Each Doorphone and door opener use one trunk port.
• One or two door openers and two Doorphones can be connected to a Doorphone 
Adaptor.
• The Doorphone can be set to call time for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or one minute.
• The Door opener can be set to open for one second, 2 seconds, or 15 seconds.
• The maximum permissible wiring distance between the Doorphone Adaptor and a 
LTRK/8 card is limited to a maximum loop resistance of 2 Ohms.
• The maximum permissible resistance of the wiring between the Doorphone 
Adaptor and Doorphone is 20 Ohms.
• The following tools are required to install the Doorphone Adaptor:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Needle-nose pliers
• Diagonal cutters
Installation
1.  Remove the cover from the Doorphone Adaptor.
2.  Set the switches in the Doorphone Adaptor according to Figure 6-24.
3.  Remove the cable punch-out plate (Figure 6-23) in order to make an opening for 
the cables coming into the Doorphone Adaptor.
To remove the plate, cut the groove with diagonal cutters, then bend the 
plate back and forth with needle-nose pliers to remove it.
4.  Mount the Doorphone Adaptor on the wall using the three screws provided with 
the unit. CAUTION:
• Turn the power switch and the external breaker OFF, and disconnect the 
AC cable before installing the Doorphone Adaptor.

Power Failure Transfer
Guidelines
• Up to four SLTs can be connected to the Power Failure Unit (VB-43703). If a 
power failure occurs, the SLTs will automatically receive a dial tone from the 
trunk. The DBS 576 features and restrictions do not apply when SLTs are 
receiving a dial tone from the trunk line.
• If a call is in progress through the Power Failure Unit (PFU) when the power is 
restored, the call will be disconnected.
• The following tools are required to install the PFU:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Needle-nose pliers
• Diagonal cutters
Installation
1.  Remove the cover from the Power Failure Unit (PFU)
2.  Remove the cable punch-out plate (Figure 6-23) to make an opening for the 
cables coming in to the PFU.
To remove the plate, cut the groove with diagonal cutters, then bend the 
plate back and forth with needle-nose pliers to remove it.
3.  Mount the PFU on the wall using the three screws provided with the unit. CAUTION:
• Turn the power switch and the external broker OFF, and disconnect the 
AC cable before installing the Power Failure Transfer.
