1.8.3 If a Voice Processing System is Connected
You or an outside party can access the Voice Processing System (VPS) from a telephone.
–Forwarding Your Calls to a Voice Processing System (Voice Mail Integration)
If your PBX has a Panasonic VPS connected using APT Integration, the following features are also 
available:
–Screening Calls (Live Call Screening [LCS])
–Recording a Conversation (2-way Record)
 Forwarding Your Calls to a Voice Processing System (Voice Mail 
Integration)
If you cannot answer calls, you can set them to be forwarded to your mailbox in a Panasonic VPS that 
supports either Inband (DTMF) Integration (e.g., KX-TVS series VPS/KX-TVA series VPS) or APT 
Integration (e.g., KX-TVS50 series VPS/KX-TVA50 series VPS). If your telephone has a MESSAGE button 
or Message/Ringer Lamp, the corresponding button or lamp turns on and lets you know you have 
messages. A single line telephone (SLT) user will hear dial tone 3 when going off-hook if there are any 
messages in his or her mailbox.
 
To set/cancel
 If your PBX has a Panasonic VPS connected using Inband (DTMF) integration, your PBX 
automatically sends a special signal to the Voice Mail port before connecting the caller. To 
enable this feature, it may be necessary to set the signal format required by your VPS 
before setting the Call Forwarding (FWD) destination to Voice Mail. For more details, ask 
your manager or dealer.
