4.1 DISCONNECT TYPE
Disconnect on versions 2.1 up to version 6.0 can be set to send busy tone
on disconnect. Versions 6.0 can provided drop in loop current on
disconnect provided that you are using the correct station card. (See
section 3.0). For proper external disconnect supervision, Ground start or
Supervised Loop start CO lines are recommended.
In order for the disconnect to function, you must be using CPC-B version
5.00 software or higher, CPC-A 3.31 or higher, CPC-AII, CPC-S/M, or
CPC-EX.
5.0 CONFIGURING THE PANASONIC DBS
Before you begin programming, It is recommended that a hard copy of the
customer database be obtained to verify existing programming.
Not all administrative possibilities are shown. The scope of this document
does not include discussing all features and their interactions. Initial
Startup or Default values on the Switch are assumed.
5.1 CONFIGURING THE PANASONIC SYSTEM
PARAMETERS
Voice Mail Busy Tone:
The Panasonic DBS can be programmed to send a busy tone on disconnect.
FF1 2# 1# 21# (0-1)#
0 = Silence
1 = Busy Tone
Or:
AEC Disconnect / Drop in Loop (version 6.0 only)
The AEC Disconnect is used to send Drop in Loop current on disconnect.
This applies to version 6.0 CPC A2 card VB43621A only.
FF3 (Smooth Operator port/extension)# 46 (0 or 1)#
0 = Disabled

5.2 ANSWER SUPERVISION FOR SMOOTH OPERATOR
This feature allows the DBS to send an answer signal to Smooth Operator.
In releases prior to CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0, Smooth Operator did
not receive a signal to indicate that a DBS extension had answered. To
determine that the extension had answered, the Smooth Operator had to
wait until it stopped receiving ringback tone. Waiting for the ringback to
stop often delayed connection times for calls from Smooth Operator to
extensions. Sending an answer signal provides quicker response time
between the DBS and the Smooth Operator. Call analysis must be run
manually for this feature to work.
The following programming can be performed from an attendant phone or
any other phone that has entered the programming access code.
To assign an answer signal code:
1. Press the ON/OFF key.
• The phone issues intercom dial tone.
• The ON/OFF LED lights.
2. Press the PROG key.
3. Dial “#94.”
4. Enter the Answer Signal Code (1 to 5 digits, # is suggested).
5. Press the HOLD key.
5.3 DID/DNIS TO A SMOOTH OPERATOR MAILBOX
DID/DNIS to a Smooth Operator Mailbox allows DID/DNIS calls to be
routed to a Smooth Operator mailbox that is not connected to a physical
extension.
Note: See Section 7.9.
To implement this feature, the DID/DNIS trunks must be assigned to ring
at the Smooth Operator. Once Smooth Operator answers, the DBS sends a
DID/DNIS Answer Code required by the Smooth Operator plus the final
DID/DNIS digits to the Smooth Operator. The DID/DNIS Answer Code
signals the Smooth Operator to open with a greeting and the DID/DNIS
digits specify the appropriate mailbox.
Note: Smooth Operator Does not require a DID/DNIS Answer Code and
we suggest deleting the DID/DNIS Answer Code.
To display a DID/DNIS Answer Code:
1. Pick up the receiver or press the ON/OFF key.
2. Press CONF.
3. Dial #95.
4. Press the ON/OFF key.
The ON/OFF LED goes off.

Multiple DID/DNIS
Use this address to enable or disable Multiple DID for analog trunks, or
Multiple DID and DNIS for T1 trunks. By default, Multiple DID/DNIS is
disabled.
Note: We recommend that this feature remain disabled.
With Multiple DID/DNIS enabled, one DID or DNIS number can be
assigned to multiple extensions, which will simultaneously ring when an
outside caller dials the DID or DNIS number.
FF1 2# 1# 32# (0 or 1)#
Ç
0=Disables Multiple DID/DNIS ringing.
1=Enables Multiple DID/DNIS ringing.
DID/DNIS to a Smooth Operator Mailbox
This address determines whether (and how many) final digits of a
DID/DNIS phone number are transmitted to Smooth Operator, in cases
where the DID/DNIS trunk is assigned to ring directly to Smooth Operator
(not to a DBS extension phone). This address allows DID/DNIS calls to be
routed to a Smooth Operator Mailbox system that is not connected to a
physical extension.
To implement this feature, assign the DID/DNIS trunks to ring at the
Smooth Operator system (using FF4 ring assignment addresses). Once
Smooth Operator answers, the DBS sends a DID/DNIS Answer Code that
signals the Smooth Operator system to open the appropriate mailbox, plus
the final DID/DNIS digits (if any) specified in this address.
FF1 2# 1# 36# (0, 1 or 2)#
Ç
0=No DID/DNIS digits are transmitted (only the Answer Code).
1=Answer Code, then final 4 DID/DNIS digits are transmitted.

5.4 VOICE MAIL RINGING
The Voice Mail Ringing feature allows calls from a DBS Automated
Attendant or from an ACD port to ring an extension with the same ring
tone as a CO trunk. The ring pattern is selected in the Extension Distinctive
Ringing program. If a distinctive ringing pattern is not specified, the
ringing pattern will be two seconds on/two seconds off.
Note: We suggest you do not change this feature.
5.6 ONE-TOUCH VM TRANSFER
The VM key can be used by attendants to easily transfer incoming callers
to an extension’s Smooth Operator mailbox. Beginning with CPC-B
Version 5, when a user presses a voice mail key and then presses a
DSS/BLF key, the digits programmed for the DSS/BLF key are transmitted
to the Smooth Operator system.
For example, if an attendant receives an incoming call for station 200 and
the attendant knows that station 200 is busy because the DSS/BLF key is lit
red, the attendant can press the VM key and then press the DSS/BLF key to
automatically transfer the caller to 200’s Smooth Operator mailbox.
For a general description of the VM key as well as instructions on using
the key for personal message retrieval, see “One-Touch VM Access”
section 7.11.
Note: See “Voice Mail Transfer Key” section 5.4 for a similar transfer
key. The Voice Mail Transfer Key provides faster operation but
may not work with some Smooth Operator systems since you do
not wait for the Smooth Operator system to answer before
pressing the DSS/BLF key. The One-Touch VM Access works
with virtually every Smooth Operator systems.
Note: The VM key is assigned differently, depending on whether it is
used for personal message retrieval or attendant transfer. See the
following “Operation” section for instructions.
Note: You cannot program this feature if trunks are assigned to the key.
First clear the FF assignments, then use the following procedures
to assign the VM key.
1. Press the ON/OFF key.
• The phone issues intercom dial tone.
• The ON/OFF LED lights.
2. Press the PROG key.
3. Press the FF key, DSS key, or One-Touch key.
4. Press the CONF key.
5. Press the AUTO key.
6. Dial the Smooth Operator extension number.

7. If the key is for personal message retrieval, enter a password (XXX or AUTO followed
by a speed dial number) if desired. If the key is for attendant transfer to Smooth Operator, do
not enter a password but include any special codes (* or #, for example) if they are required
by the Smooth Operator system.
Note: The length of the password and the VM extension number cannot
exceed six digits. If the VM number and the password total more
than six digits, assign the password to a personal or system speed
dial number (0099, 000-199 or 900-909).
8. Press the HOLD key.
5.7 VOICE MAIL TRANSFER KEY
The Voice Mail Transfer (VM/TRF) key allows transfers to Smooth
Operator mailboxes without waiting for Smooth Operator to answer.
The Voice Mail Transfer Key may be assigned from a phone or through
system programming.
To assign a Voice Mail key from a phone:
1. Press the ON/OFF key.
• The phone issues intercom dial tone.

5.9 ASSIGN SMOOTH OPERATOR PORTS TO A HUNT
GROUP MEMBER TABLE
This option is used to assign a Smooth Operator extension to a specific
position of a hunt group. A maximum of eight extensions can be assigned
to one hunt group. For this example we will assign extension 100 to
position 1, (see position chart below), of hunt group 1.

5.10 CONFIGURING SUBSCRIBERS STATIONS
System Call forwarding is used to forward subscribers stations to the
Smooth Operator. If call forward is set from the subscribers station it will
temporarily override the system forwarding.
The system call forward presented below is for DBS version 3.1 and
higher. If you wish to use call screening or queuing you would want to use
option 3, otherwise, for an integrated system, you would use option 1.
Permanent Call Forward Type:
FF3 (subscribers extension) 42# (0 - 3)#
0 = Permanent call forwarding: off
1 = Permanent call forwarding: busy / no answer
2 = Permanent call forwarding: busy
3 = Permanent call forwarding: no answer
Repeat this step as needed for subscribers stations.
Permanent Call Forward Extension:
FF3 (subscribers extension) 43# (Smooth Operator port/extension)#
Repeat this step as needed for subscribers stations.
Call Forward No Answer Timer:
This timer determines how many seconds an unanswered call will ring
before it is forwarded to another destination.
FF1 3# 19# (0 to 15)#
0 = forward after 4 seconds 8 = forward after 36 seconds
1 = forward after 8 seconds 9 = forward after 40 seconds
2 = forward after 12 seconds 10 = forward after 44 seconds
3 = forward after 16 seconds 11 = forward after 48 seconds
4 = forward after 20 seconds 12 = forward after 52 seconds
5 = forward after 24 seconds 13 = forward after 56 seconds
6 = forward after 28 seconds 14 = forward after 60 seconds
7 = forward after 32 seconds 15 = forward after 64 seconds
Program the subscribers stations as needed
The Call Forward No Answer Timers purpose varies depending on which
software is used.
The following summarizes the Call Forward No Answer Timer differences
among CPC-A and CPC-B versions.

5.11 PROGRAMMING DIRECT CALL (REV 6.0 ONLY)
Direct Call/Auto login programming is different for two and three digit
extensions. Two digit extensions can be programmed directly onto an FF
Key, whereas three digit extensions require a system speedial number to be
programmed.
In the following examples we will use a * as the code for Autologin. This
is reflected in the Smooth Operator system setup.
Programming Autologin for 2 digit extensions: (through phone only)
FF5 FF Key Assignments for Extensions.
Feature = One-Touch VM Access.
PROG AUTO NN *XX#
NN = Smooth Operator pilot number
* = Autologin Code
XX = two digit subscriber extension number.
Repeat this step for all extensions.
Programming Autologin for 3 digit extensions: (through phone only)
Program a Personal speedial (AUTO 90-99) in the following format:
NNN * XXX#
NNN = Smooth Operator pilot number
* = Autologin Code
XXX = three digit subscriber extension number.
Then use the above speedial number:
FF5 FF Key Assignments for Extensions.
Feature = One-Touch VM Access.
PROG AUTO NNN AUTO (90 - 99)
Personal speedial assignment and key assignment must be repeated for all
extensions. The same personal speedial number can be programmed for
each extension.
6.0 CONFIGURING THE SMOOTH OPERATOR
During the install process, run the Integrator program and choose the
Panasonic DBS. The Integrator will place appropriate feature codes into the

7.0 CONSIDERATIONS / ALTERNATIVES
The following items should be considered, below:
System Forward for DND
Using DND Forwarding With Invalid Mailboxes
Elimination of intermittent Message Waiting by Dedication of
Outbound Ports
Supervised Transfers
Autologin on Rev 6.0
Panasonic DBS does not provide ring-back
analog adapter
Verifying CPC version
DID/DNIS to a Smooth OperatorMailbox
Terminal Type 10 (Third-Party Voice Mail).
One-Touch VM Access
Voice Mail Transfer Key
7.1 SYSTEM FORWARD FOR DND
The system forward for DND is only available in Rev. 5.01 and up.
External calls will ring the phone then forward as no answer to Smooth
Operator.
7.2 USING DND FORWARDING WITH INVALID MAILBOXES
Do not use the Smooth Operator parameters to transfer invalid mailboxes during
or after hours. If you use these parameters, and you have the phone in DND, the
Panasonic will send a code 71 or 73 to the Smooth Operator port. This will
place the Smooth Operator port into DND mode and prevent it from taking calls.
7.3 ELIMINATION OF INTERMITTENT MESSAGE WAITING
BY DEDICATION OF OUTBOUND PORTS
Problems have been observed with intermittent message waiting indication.
This is normally caused either by Stutter Dial Tone on a Smooth
OperatorMail port or by interference from incoming calls.
If Smooth Operator is not set up with dedicated outbound ports, there is a
possibility of call collisions occurring. Call collisions happen when an
outbound call and an inbound call attempt to use the same port
simultaneously. This results in the loss of Forward to Personal Greeting
integration on the incoming call. There is no solution to this occasional
problem other than using dedicated outbound ports. This should be done
by removing the Smooth Operator port that is used for message

waiting/message delivery from the main Smooth Operator hunt group and
setting SCHDWAIT is set to 0.
7.4 SUPERVISED TRANSFERS
It has been noticed that due to an unreliable ring cadence in the DBS,
supervised transfers may not be possible. In such instances, the System
might act as if a call had been answered, when in fact the call has not been
answered. This results in the caller being ‘dropped’ or cut off. Therefore,
we strongly recommend integrating the System to the DBS using inband
signaling with blind transfers.
However, if the Smooth Operator is programmed to execute a supervised
transfer, Handsfree Announce must be disabled. If call forwarding is on at
the station, ensure that it is for Ring/No Answer only, and that the ring
timer is greater than the Maximum Rings for the mailbox. Call Queuing
and Paging require disallowing programming Call Forward Busy.
7.5 AUTOLOGIN
On a two digit system, autologin can be achieved by programming a mwl
(FF) key. On a three digit system, speedial must be used.
7.6 PANASONIC DBS DOES NOT PROVIDE RING-BACK
Callers that are transferred to an extension will not hear Ring tone before
being forwarded to Smooth Operator. There is no other impact other than
what the caller hears.
7.7 ANALOG ADAPTER
The 824 analog adapter will not work on the DBS 40,72, and 96 port
systems using all versions of CPC-A software and CPC-B and CPC-AII
versions through 6.XX.
The Single-Line Telephone Adapter (VB-43709) can connect up to four
analog DTMF phones (also called “2500 sets” or “SLTs”) to four digital
extension ports. Each SLT phone requires a digital extension port in the
SLT-A connection.
The Single-Line Telephone Adapter is a 24v device and may not work
with Rhetorex cards.
The Analog Adapter (VB-44100) installed on the underside of a phone. It
is used to connect the 44-series large-display phone to an analog device
such as an SLT telephone, cordless phone, FAX machine, or modem. It is
not intended to be used as a interface device for Smooth Operator.

DID/DNIS digit transmission. The DID/DNIS digits are only sent to ports
that are assigned as voice mail.
Smooth Operator ports and hunt groups. The DID/DNIS digits can be sent
to a specific Smooth Operator port or a Smooth Operator hunt group.
Second hunt group. If the DID/DNIS call rings into a hunt group that in
turn transfers the call to a second hunt group, the DID/DNIS calls are not
transmitted to the second hunt group.
Call forward ID. When DID/DNIS calls are forwarded to Smooth Operator,
the Call Forward ID Code is transmitted to the Smooth Operator. The
DID/DNIS digits are not.
Restriction For CPC-B Version 3.1. This address is also present in CPC-B
Version 3.1; however, it only controls Multiple DID (DNIS cannot be used
with this version).
DID/DNIS Digit Length Requirement. The DBS only supports 4-digit
DID/ DNIS numbers.
Central Office Requirement. When the CO sends a DID/DNIS call to the
DBS, it first receives a wink from the DBS before sending the digits. Once
the wink is received, the CO should wait at least 200 ms before sending the
digits.
Simultaneous Ringing. If Multiple DID/DNIS is enabled, all extensions
assigned the same DID/DNIS number will ring for the incoming
DID/DNIS call. If you later disable Multiple DID/DNIS, only the
extension at the lowest-numbered port will ring for the DID/DNIS call.
Call Forwarding Interaction. If Multiple DID/DNIS is enabled, and the
DID/DNIS extensions are programmed to call-forward to different
extensions, the simultaneous ringing will also apply to the call-forward
destination extensions. In other words, all call-forward paths will be
followed simultaneously for the same DID/DNIS call, until someone picks
it up. If you later disable Multiple DID/DNIS, only the call-forwarding
path assigned to the extension at the lowest-numbered port will be
followed.

7.10 TERMINAL TYPE 10 (THIRD-PARTY VOICE MAIL).
Beginning with CPC-A Version 3.28 and CPC-B Version 4.07, when an
analog port hookflashes to return to a held trunk, the DBS returns busy
tone to Smooth Operator if the trunk is abandoned. When Smooth
Operator receives the busy tone, it recognizes that the trunk has been
abandoned, and consequently releases the called extension. (In previous
versions, the DBS returned ringback tone, causing the extension to
continue ringing.)
7.11 ONE-TOUCH VM ACCESS
Attendant Transfer to Voice Mail
1. Answer an incoming call.
The incoming caller asks to be transferred to an extension number.
2. Check the DSS/BLF key for the extension. If the light is red, press the VM
key followed by the DSS/BLF key.
The incoming caller is transferred to the extension’s mailbox.
• The VM key can be used with the Panasonic Voice Mail or with Smooth
Operator systems.
• Once an extension is connected to Smooth Operator, pressing a DSS/BLF
key will transmit the extension number stored on the DSS/BLF key to the
Smooth Operator mail system, regardless of what state the DSS/BLF key is
in. In other words, the extension number is transmitted whether the key is
idle, ringing, or busy.
Note: DSS/BLF keys on the DSS/72 always light red when an extension
is active; they do not flash red when an extension is ringing. The
keys light green when an extension is forwarded.
• If a Smooth Operator is used, the extension number is transmitted through
DTMF digits only.
• With Panasonic Voice Mail, most attendants use port group scheduling
that accesses a menu that asks for a mail box number. This port group
scheduling is used so attendants can quickly dial the mailbox numbers of
other users. To assign a personal VM key for an attendant using this port
group scheduling, use a speed dial number to store the Smooth Operator
mail extension number, followed by an asterisk (*), followed by the
password . The asterisk causes Smooth Operator mail to revert to the menu
that connects the user to his or her personal mailbox.
Note: If an attendant wants one VM key for a personal mailbox and one
for transferring to Smooth Operator, the personal VM key must be
assigned to the lowest-numbered FF key.
For example, if DSS keys 60 and 61 are assigned as VM keys, key 60
should be used for the attendant’s personal mailbox. If VM keys are

assigned to both the phone FF keys and the DSS keys, the lowest-
numbered FF key on the phone should be used for the attendant’s personal
mailbox. If the personal VM key is not assigned to the lowest-numbered
key, it will not flash to indicate VM messages
7.12 VOICE MAIL TRANSFER KEY
1. Answers an incoming call, then press the VM/TRF key.
The system automatically puts the incoming call on hold.
2. Press a DSS/BLF key or dial an extension number.
3. Complete the transfer by going onhook or pressing RELEASE,
ON/OFF, or PROG.
A caller asks to be transferred to the Smooth Operator mailbox of ext. 426.
The attendant presses the VM Transfer key.
The system places the caller on hold.
(Typically, the numbers stored under the VM Transfer key consist of the
Smooth Operator extension number, plus any special digits required by the
Smooth Operator system.)
The attendant presses the DSS/BLF key for extension 426 or manually
dials 426.
The attendant completes the transfer by going onhook, pressing
RELEASE, ON/OFF, or PROG.
As soon as the transfer is completed, the system sends the contents of the
buffer to the Smooth Operator system.
Key Assignment. The VM/TRF key can be assigned to any key phone,
DSS/72 or EM/24. The VM/TRF key cannot be assigned to a One-Touch
key.
Transfers. The VM/TRF key can be used to transfer intercom as well as
CO calls to a Smooth Operator mailbox.
Digit Storage. Up to six digits can be stored under the VM/TRF key. This
total can be comprised of any combination of the Smooth Operator
extension number and the special codes. If more than six digits are
required, a PSD or SSD number that contains the necessary digits can be
stored under the key.
Key Operations. The system responds to key operations during the
transfer in the following ways:
• Pressing the FLASH key cancels the VM/TRF and returns intercom dial
tone to the user. When the VM/TRF is cancelled, the incoming call is still
connected but is on hold.

• If a valid key (CO key or second DSS key, for example) is pressed, the
VM/TRF is cancelled and the operation invoked by the key is performed.
• If an invalid key (REDIAL, for example) is pressed, the VM/TRF is
cancelled, and the user receives busy tone.
Number of digits allowed. Once VM/TRF is pressed, the user can dial up
to 10 digits before completing the transfer.
Holding calls. If a user begins to perform the Smooth Operator transfer
and the extension cannot hold a call (one call is already on non-appearance
hold, for example), the system will keep the call in the talk state and will
not allow the Smooth Operator transfer to be initiated.
Non-transmission. If the VM/TRF key stores a number other than a
Smooth Operator extension number, the system does not send DSS/BLF
information or the extension number that is dialed after pressing VM/TRF.
