1.1.97 Paralleled Telephone
Description
Any proprietary telephone (PT) can be connected in parallel with a single line device, such as a single line 
telephone (SLT), fax machine, or modem.
When parallel mode is used, the 2 telephones function as follows:
 Both share one extension number.
 Either telephone or device can make or answer calls.
Conditions
 System programming determines the SLTs that can be connected in parallel with a PT (  [610] 
Paralleled Telephone).
 When the SLT is in operation, the display and LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator on the paired PT will 
function in the same way as when the PT is in operation. 
 The following features cannot be used with an SLT connected in parallel with a PT:
– Call Splitting
– Call Waiting Caller ID
– Conference
– Door Open while connected to the doorphone
– External Feature Access (EFA)
– Hot Line
 An SLT connected in parallel with a PT will not ring if the PT is: 
						

							1.1 General Features
Feature Manual 125
– In Hands-free Answerback mode (  1.1.62 Hands-free Answerback).
– In Voice-calling mode (Alternate Receiving—Ring/Voice) (  1.1.69 Intercom Call).
 An extension user cannot make a call from the SLT if the PT is:
– Playing background music (BGM)
– Receiving a paging announcement over the built-in speaker
– In programming mode
 Both the PT and the SLT will ring for incoming calls (if the ringer is turned on).
 If one telephone goes off-hook while the other telephone is having a call, a 3-party conference call will 
be established. If one telephone goes on-hook, the other telephone will continue with the call.

2.Connection Methods for Remote Programming
Conditions
 Only one system programming session is permitted at a time. Access will be denied to a second party 
who tries to perform system programming, including system programming via a PT.
 System programming can be performed either in interactive or batch mode.

To access system programming in interactive mode, a valid password must be entered. The password 
is set at the factory but can be changed through system programming (  [002] System Password). 
 A user can upload system programming data from a PC to the PBX or download it from the PBX to a 
PC.
 If communications between the PBX and PC fail before completing Firmware Upgrade or system 
programming data upload from a PC to the PBX, the successfully transferred portion of the data can 
still be used.
 Firmware Upgrade can be performed only through on-site programming using the Serial Interface (RS-
232C) port or USB port.

Description
An extension user can use short numbers to frequently dialed numbers that are stored in the extensions 
Personal Speed Dialing.
Personal Speed Dialing is also known as Station Speed Dialing.
Conditions
 Any number, such as a telephone number or feature number, can be stored in Personal Speed Dialing 
(up to 24 digits).
 This feature is not available on rotary single line telephones (SLTs).
 Personal Speed Dialing numbers (0 through 9) correspond to the numbers (F1 through F10) of the 
Programmable Feature (PF) buttons assigned as One-touch Dialing numbers.
Assigning a One-touch Dialing number to PF button F1 will override Personal Speed Dialing number 
0, and vice versa.
 An SLT user can check the stored number by exchanging the SLT with a PT. PF buttons (F1 through 
F10) correspond to Personal Speed Dialing numbers (0 through 9). Press the desired PF button to 
check the number.

1.1.101 Power Failure Restart
Description
When the electricity is turned back on, the PBX restarts and automatically loads stored data.
Conditions
 In the event of a power failure, PBX memory is protected by a factory-installed lithium battery. There is 
no memory loss except the memories of Automatic Callback Busy (  1.1.4 Automatic Callback Busy 
(Camp-on)), Call Park (  1.1.19 Call Park), and Redial (  1.1.105 Redial, Last Number, 1.1.106 
Redial, Saved Number).

1.1.102 Power Failure Transfer
Description
If the power supply to the PBX fails, specific single line telephones (SLTs) are automatically connected to 
specific outside (CO) lines (Power Failure Connections). The PBX will switch from the current connections 
to Power Failure Connections, and all existing conversations will be disconnected. 
Only outside (CO) line calls handled by Power Failure Connections can be made during a power failure.
Conditions
 During a power failure, each of the following outside (CO) lines will be connected to an assigned 
extension. 
Outside (CO) line 1: extension jack 01
Outside (CO) line 4: extension jack 09
Outside (CO) line 7: extension jack 17
 Only outside (CO) line calls are possible during a power failure. All other features will not function.
 We recommend connecting an SLT in parallel at extension jacks 01, 09, and 17, so that the SLT can be 
used during a power failure.
Note that if the paralleled SLT is on an outside (CO) line when the power is restored, that call will be 
disconnected.

1.1.103 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:
Conditions
 The manager extension is the extension that is connected to the lowest-numbered jack (jack 01) of the 
PBX and can therefore perform manager programming.
 Only one system programming (including PC programming) or manager programming session is 
permitted at a time. These 2 programming features cannot be performed simultaneously by 2 users.
 During programming, the PT is considered to be busy and will not receive calls.
System Password
To access system programming, the administrator system password must be entered. The system 
password is set at the factory but can be changed through system programming (  [002] System 
Password). The administrator can program all system programming.
Manager Password
To set the manager password, it is necessary to use the system password to perform Extension 
Password Set. Once set, the manager password can be used to access manager programming. 
The manager can assign a password to each extension (extension password). 
Personal Programming Data Reset
A PT user can simultaneously reset all settings made through personal programming (Line 
Preference—Incoming/Outgoing, Call Waiting Tone Type Selection, etc.) to their default settings.
This feature also cancels pressing the AUTO ANS/MUTE button in the Hands-free Answerback feature 
and the Room Monitor feature. Programming Type Description ExampleAuthorized
