Feature Highlights
Networking Features
The Hybrid IP-PBX supports the following private networking features:
TIE Line Service
PBXs can be connected via a privately leased telephone lines, forming a private network. These "TIE
lines" provide a cost-effective way to route calls and communications, and are often used to connect
corporate offices located in different cities.
(→1.13.12 PRIVATE NETWORK FEATURES)
QSIG Support
TIE line service can be used on a private network that is established using Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) with the IP-GW card, or ISDN (PRI) lines programmed to implement the QSIG protocol (Q.931).
QSIG offers TIE line service as well as advanced caller and called party identification features.
(→1.13.17 PRIVATE NETWORK FEATURES—QSIG)
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Support
The Hybrid-IP PBX can be used on a private network which implements VoIP. On this type of network,
information is sent over the private network in IP packets, which allows voice as well as data to be sent
to other devices in the private network. Automatic rerouting of VoIP calls to public CO lines is also
available in case of network difficulties.
(→1.13.22 Private Network Features—VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol))
Built-in Small Call Center Features
Extensions can form an incoming call distribution (ICD) group and be used as a small call center which can
take advantage of several features, some of which are highlighted below.
Queuing
When all available extensions in an ICD group are busy, additional calls can be placed in a queue as
they arrive. While calls are waiting in the queue, callers can hear background music (BGM), an outgoing
message (OGM), etc.
(→1.9.6 ICD Group Features—Queuing)
Log-in/Log-out
Members of an ICD group can log-in to or log-out of a group manually. Group members can log-in at
the beginning of a work shift, and log-out at the end of the day. While logged-in, ICD group members
can be allotted a specified amount of time after completing a call during which new calls will not be
received by their extensions, allowing them to finish any necessary paperwork before being eligible to
receive new calls (Wrap-up).
(→1.9.3 ICD Group Features—Log-in/Log-out)
VIP Call
The VIP Call feature is one method of making sure that calls from preferred customers or callers are
answered quickly. When using VIP Call mode, ICD groups are assigned a priority, allowing calls in
higher-priority groups to be answered before calls in lower-priority groups.
(→1.9.8 ICD Group Features—VIP Call)
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Features
Computers can be connected to the Hybrid-IP PBX to provide extension users with access to advanced
features such as pop-up display of caller information, computer-based speed dialing, etc.
(→1.3.21 CTI (Computer Telephony Integration))

Feature Manual 5
PC Phone/PC Console
These Panasonic CTI applications can be used on computers connected to each extension, providing
their respective extension users with powerful and flexible call handling and display features (→1.13.5
PC Console/PC Phone).
Third Party CTI Applications
The Hybrid IP-PBX supports industry standard protocols, allowing third-party CTI applications to be
integrated with the PBX and its extensions.
Voice Mail Features
A Voice Processing System (VPS) can be connected to the Hybrid IP-PBX to provide Voice Mail (VM) and
Automated Attendant (AA) services. A Panasonic VPS which supports DPT (Digital) Integration can be
connected to the Hybrid IP-PBX effortlessly and with minimal setup required. It can also be connected to
one PBX in a network to provide voice mail services for extensions at all PBXs. Conventional DTMF (analog)
voice mail systems, including those from other manufacturers, are also supported.
(→1.19.3 Voice Mail (VM) Group)
Paralleled Telephone Features
By connecting telephones in parallel, you can increase the number of telephones connected to the Hybrid
IP-PBX without adding additional extension cards.
(→1.13.2 Paralleled Telephone)
Parallel Mode
An SLT can be connected to an analog proprietary telephone (APT) or digital proprietary telephone
(DPT) that is connected to a Super Hybrid port of the Hybrid IP-PBX. The SLT shares the same
extension number with the APT or DPT.
EXtra Device Port (XDP) Mode
An SLT can be connected to a DPT that is connected to a Super Hybrid port of the Hybrid IP-PBX.
Unlike parallel mode, XDP mode allows each telephone to act as an independent extension with its own
extension number.
Digital XDP
A DPT can be connected to another DPT that is connected to a DPT port or a Super Hybrid port of the
Hybrid IP-PBX. Similar to XDP mode, each DPT acts as an independent extension with its own
extension number.
Portable Station (PS) Features
A Panasonic PS (e.g., KX-TD7680, KX-TD7690) can be used in place of a PT to provide wireless access to
PBX features and call handling. When in Wireless XDP Parallel Mode, a PS can share an extension number
with a wired telephone, allowing extension users to use their PSs when they are away from their desks to
answer or make calls as if they were using their wired telephones.
Hospitality Features
This PBX has several features that support its use in a hotel-type environment. Extensions corresponding
to guest rooms can be "checked in" or "checked out" by a designated hotel operator, who can also check or
set wake-up calls. (→1.8.4 HOSPITALITY FEATURES)
Simplified Voice Message (SVM) Features
By just installing an optional voice message card in the PBX, simple answering machine services can be
provided. (→1.16.5 SVM (Simplified Voice Message))

6 Feature Manual
Cellular Phone Features (KX-TDA6920/KX-TDA0920/KX-TDA5920 required)
This PBX supports the use of cellular phones and other outside destinations with the PBX. Cellular phones
can be treated as extensions within the PBX, and paired with wired telephones in Cellular Phone XDP
Parallel Mode. (→1.3.11 CELLULAR PHONE FEATURES)

use an account code for each client to determine which calls were made for which client, and can submit a
bill to the client according to the client's account code as shown on the SMDR call record.
There are two methods of entering account codes explained below.
One of the methods is selected for each extension based on Class of Service (COS) programming.
Conditions
• An account code can be stored in Memory Dialing (One-touch Dialing, for example).
•Account Button
A flexible button can be customized as the Account button. The Account button is used in place of the
feature number for entering an account code. This button is useful because it can be used at any time,
while feature number entry is allowed only when hearing a dial tone before seizing a CO line.
• Extension users can enter an account code at any time during a call, including after the call has been
disconnected and a reorder tone is heard. However, if an account code is entered after there is no
longer a reorder tone, the call will not be stored in the SMDR record.
• If an account code is entered more than once, the code entered last is logged in the SMDR.
• Even in Forced mode, emergency numbers can be dialed without an account code. (→1.5.2
Emergency Call)
• Proprietary telephone (PT) users can also enter an account code for incoming CO line calls during a
conversation.
•Verification Code Entry
To identify who made a CO line call for accounting and billing purposes, a verification code can be used.
This code can be used at any extension. (→1.19.1 Verification Code Entry)
Mode Description
Option An extension user can enter an account code, but is not required to.
Forced An extension user must always enter an account code before seizing
a CO line.

1.2.1 Making Calls
1.1.3 ARS (Automatic Route Selection)
Description
Different telephone carriers charge different rates for calls placed to different areas. Your PBX may use
different telephone carriers to make calls to different areas in an effort to reduce costs.
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a feature which automatically selects different carriers each time a CO
line call is made. In order to use ARS effectively, various ARS-related tables must be preprogrammed to tell
the PBX which calls should be placed using which carriers, during which time of day.
If you do not activate ARS, if ARS is bypassed, or if you do not use multiple carriers, CO line calls will be
connected via the carrier contracted for each line (default carrier).

[Carrier Selection Procedure Flowchart]
The numbers in parentheses indicate the corresponding items found under [Programming Procedures] on
the following pages.
[Programming Procedures]
1. ARS Mode
ARS is turned on by selecting under which circumstances it operates – either when an extension user
makes a call using the Idle Line Access method, or when any CO Line Access method is used. (→
1.3.14 CO Line Access). ARS can also be turned off for the entire system.
→2.14.1 [8-1] System Settings—ARS Mode
→[320] ARS Mode
2. Leading Number Exception Table
Once ARS is activated, store the telephone numbers that will bypass ARS in the Leading Number
Exception Table.
Note that the first few digits (leading number) of a telephone number, such as an area code or local
exchange, can also be stored, so that all calls to those areas or exchanges are exempted from ARS.

20 Feature Manual
Also note that the CO Line Access number is always ignored by ARS and does not need to be
programmed here.
Calls that are exempt from ARS are connected to the user-selected line, via the default carrier for that
line.
[Programming Example: ARS Leading Number Exception Table]
In this example:
555, 556, and 567 are local exchanges. (555-XXXX, 556-XXXX, 567-XXXX)
These calls can be made using any carrier, and are therefore exempt from ARS.
3. Leading Number Table
Next, store the leading numbers of telephone numbers that should be routed by ARS, and assign a
Routing Plan to each leading number that will control how calls containing these leading numbers are
routed.
When an extension user dials a number which contains a leading number stored in the ARS Leading
Number Table, the call will be routed the corresponding Routing Plan assigned here. Note that the CO
Line Access number is always ignored by ARS and does not need to be programmed here.
Before programming the details of each Routing Plan (explained below), you can simply assign here
the same Routing Plan number to all the different leading numbers which will be routed the same way.
If a dialed number matches two or more leading numbers stored in the ARS Leading Number Table, the
lowest numbered location will have priority.
[Programming Example: ARS Leading Number Table]
Additional Number of Digits
In order for calls to be made using the desired carrier, telephone numbers dialed by extension users
must be modified to meet the criteria required by the carrier. (Refer to 5. Carrier Table.) This
