Overview
This section provides an overview of methods of programming 
the PBX, and information about password security. 
						

							1.1 Introduction
12 Programming Manual
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Introduction
These programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference for the 
Panasonic Advanced Hybrid System. The PBX has default settings that can be changed to meet your 
needs. These settings control the manner in which the PBX features described in this Programming Manual 
function, and changing these settings is referred to as system programming. System programming can be 
performed by only one person at a time. A second person attempting to program the system will be denied 
access to system programming.
Ways to program
There are 2 programming methods:
PT (Proprietary Telephone) Programming
PT programming is described in Section PT Programming. An authorized administrator or the 
manager can perform system programming by entering 3-digit programming numbers with a PT.
PC Programming
PC programming is described in Section 3.2 PC Programming.
Password Security
To maintain system security, a password is required to perform system programming. When KX-TA 
Maintenance Console is started for the first time, the Quick Setup utility will ask you to set the system 
password. To avoid unauthorized access and possible fraudulent dialing, do not disclose the password.
Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1.Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers if it 
becomes known to others.
2.To avoid unauthorized access and possible fraudulent dialing, maintain the secrecy of the 
password.
3.We strongly recommend that you change the default password value to something else for reasons 
of system security. It is best to use a password of 7 digits.
4.Please change the password periodically.
5.If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a 
PC, and checking the password using the KX-TA Maintenance Console software. If you do not have 
a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogram it. 
Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more information 
on how to back up the system data, refer to the on-line help that appears by selecting the Help 
menu during PC programming. However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup 
copies of the system data file, do not allow unauthorized access to these files.
Notes
This PBX has only one system password. It can be changed by either PT programming or PC 
programming. For this reason, the password can consist of numerals only.

Required Telephone
PBX settings can be customized through system programming by using a proprietary telephone (PT) with 
a display, such as the KX-T7731. An authorized administrator or the manager extension connected to 
extension jack 01 can access system programming.

Entering System Programming Mode
Using a PT to perform system programming allows an authorized administrator to set a wide range of PBX 
features and parameters. To enter system programming mode, the system password is required. With the 
system password, all system programming is accessible.
Notes
 means default value throughout these programming instructions.
Entering Manager Programming Mode
Using a PT to perform manager programming allows the manager extension (extension jack 01) to set 
certain PBX features and parameters. To enter manager programming mode, the extension password for 
the manager (manager password) is required. 
With the manager password, the following 4 system programming settings are accessible:
 [001] System Speed Dialing Number
 [011] System Speed Dialing Name
 [512] DISA Security Code
 [530] DISA Security Code Digits
Notes
 The system password may be entered instead of the manager password.
 With the manager password, the manager can also set a password to each extension. For more 
information on how to assign a password to each extension including the manager password, refer 
to the Operating Manual (  2.1.7 System Feature Assignment).CLEAR Fixed Button (KX-T7700/KX-TA30800 series) Function
