4 Feature Manual
Feature Highlights
Voice Mail Features
A Voice Processing System (VPS) can be connected to the PBX to provide Voice Mail (VM) and Automated
Attendant (AA) services. A Panasonic VPS which supports DPT (Digital) Integration can be connected to
the PBX effortlessly and with minimal setup required. 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 an SLT in parallel to an analog proprietary telephone (APT) that is connected to a Hybrid port
of the PBX, you can increase the number of telephones connected to the PBX without adding additional
extension cards. The SLT shares the same extension number with the APT.
(→1.13.2 Paralleled Telephone)
Portable Station (PS) Features
A Panasonic PS 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.
Built-in 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))

1.1.2 Account Code Entry
Description
An account code is used to identify outgoing CO line calls for accounting and billing purposes. The account
code is appended to the Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) call record. For example, a firm can
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).

1.1 A
Feature Manual 15
[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. (→
1.3.11 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.

1.1 A
16 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

modification usually involves removing digits and adding access codes to the beginning of the dialed
number.
In situations where a preprogrammed number (such as an Itemized Billing Code) must be added
automatically after the telephone number that was dialed by the extension user, set the Additional
Number of Digits to a value greater than 0.
4. Routing Plan
Since the preferred carrier may vary depending on the time of day, you can create an ARS-specific time
table and break each day of the week into different time blocks. A different carrier can then be assigned
to each time block.
Routing Plan Time Table: For each Routing Plan, a different carrier can be assigned for each time of
day and each day of the week. Each day can have up to four programmable time blocks.
Routing Plan Priority: For each Routing Plan, a different carrier can be assigned a different priority
for each time of day. Generally, the carrier assigned to priority 1 will be used, however, if the CO lines
assigned to this carrier are busy, a different available carrier will be used according to priority level.
5. Carrier Table
Each carrier must be programmed in the Carrier Table. Here each carrier is assigned a carrier number,
name, the CO lines it is used with, etc.
→2.14.6 [8-5] Carrier—Carrier
Carrier Name: Assign a name for the carrier. Used only as a reference.
Trunk Group: Assign the trunk groups which can be used when making calls via this carrier.

Conditions
WARNING
The software contained in the ARS feature to allow user access to the network must be upgraded to
recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as they are placed into
service.
Failure to upgrade the premises PBXs or peripheral equipment to recognize the new codes as they
are established will restrict the customer and the customer's employees from gaining access to the
network and to these codes.
KEEP THE SOFTWARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LATEST DATA.
•Logging Outgoing Calls by SMDR
Whether SMDR logs the user-dialed number or the ARS-modified number is determined through
system programming. (→1.16.1 SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording))
→2.16.1 [10-1] Main—SMDR—SMDR Options—ARS Dial
•ARS Data Import/Export
ARS tables and data can be copied to and from the PBX and a PC using the KX-TAW848 Maintenance
Console software. Files are saved in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. Because of the large
amounts of programming that may be necessary to use ARS effectively, you may choose to export ARS
tables and data to a PC, edit them using the software of your choosing, then import the new data to the
PBX. This is particularly convenient if you need to update your ARS tables for new area codes or
telephone rates, or when you'd like to copy ARS tables from one PBX to another.

•TRS
Toll Restriction (TRS) checks are performed before ARS number modification, so program TRS Denied
Code Tables and Exception Code Tables accordingly. (→1.17.5 TRS (Toll Restriction))
•When ARS Routing Takes Place
ARS routing takes place after the preprogrammed number of digits (leading number + additional
number of digits) have been dialed.

2.1 Capacity of System Resources
1.1.4 Automatic Callback Busy (Camp-on)
Description
If the line is busy when a call is made, a callback ring can inform the caller when the line becomes free.
If the called party was another extension, or if the dialed number is handled by Automatic Route Selection
(ARS), the number is automatically redialed after the extension user answers the callback ring.
Conditions
• If the callback ring is not answered within 10 seconds, callback is canceled.
• If the extension hears a busy tone before dialing the telephone number, only the CO line or trunk group
is reserved. After answering the callback ring, the extension should dial the telephone number.
• An extension can set only one Automatic Callback Busy. The last setting is effective.
• Multiple extension users can set this feature for the same CO line at the same time.
However, a maximum of four extension users can set this feature to one extension.
Callback ringing will be sent to extensions in the order that the feature was set. In other words, the
extension that set the feature first will receive a callback ringing first.
