Section 1
System Outline
This section provides general information on the PBX, 
including the system capacity and specifications. 
						

							1.1 System Highlights
14 Installation Manual
1.1 System Highlights
1.1.1 System Highlights
Built-in Voice Message (BV) (Optional voice message card required) 
Built-in Voice Message (BV) allows a caller to leave a voice message in a users personal message 
area or the PBXs common message area.
Caller ID Display on SLT
The PBX can receive Caller ID information (telephone numbers and callers names) from calls 
received on outside (CO) lines. This information can be shown on the displays of SLTs that support 
Caller ID as well as proprietary telephones (PTs) when receiving calls.
3-level Automated Attendant (AA)
3-level Automated Attendant (AA) service allows a caller to dial a single-digit number (Direct Inward 
System Access [DISA] AA number) following the guidance of 3-level DISA outgoing messages 
(OGMs), and be connected to the desired party automatically.
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
The PBX (with an optional message expansion card) can automatically log up to 10 000 incoming/
outgoing outside (CO) line calls. It is possible to log the Date, Time, Dial number and Duration of each 
call. The call logs can be output via the Serial Interface (RS-232C) port to a PC, printer, etc.
PC Programming
System programming settings can be accessed using a PC and the Panasonic KX-TA Maintenance 
Console software as well as by using a PT. 
The PBX software can be upgraded via the Serial Interface (RS-232C) port or USB port, using the 
KX-TA Maintenance Console software.
Quick Setup
Basic PBX parameters such as Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type, Country Setting 
can be programmed the first time the PBX is accessed with a PC using the KX-TA Maintenance 
Console software.
Call Waiting Caller ID
Call Waiting Caller ID allows the user to see the name or telephone number of a second caller during 
a conversation.
Local Carrier-based Voice Mail Service
Local carrier-based voice mail service allows the user to receive remote voice mail service from the 
telephone company to record caller messages when calls cannot be answered.
Wireless Proprietary Telephones (PTs)
Wireless PTs such as the KX-T7885, KX-TD7895, and KX-TD7896 give a user the freedom to move 
around and still have the powerful features of Panasonic PTs. Some examples of the advantages of 
wireless PTs over wireless SLTs are:
a)Caller ID
b)Seizure of outside (CO) lines by a one-touch operation
c)Carrier-based voice mail service

Advanced Hybrid System
This PBX supports the connection of PTs, wireless PTs, Direct Station Selection (DSS) Consoles, 
and single line devices such as SLTs, fax machines, wireless SLTs, and data terminals.
