Introduction

CAUTION This notice means that misuse could result in injury or damage to property.
WARNING
Unplug the PBX from the AC outlet if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes unusual noise.
These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped and contact an
authorized Panasonic Factory Service Center.
CAUTION
Do not remove the SD Memory Card while power is supplied to the PBX. Doing so may cause the PBX to
fail to start when you try to restart the system.
Note
1. During a long programming session, it is highly recommended that you periodically save the system
data to the SD Memory Card. If the PBX undergoes a sudden power failure or if the system is reset for
some reason, all the system data in RAM will be lost. However, if system data has been saved to the
SD Memory Card, it can be easily restored.
To save the system data to the SD Memory Card, (1) click the "SD Memory Backup" icon before
resetting the PBX or turning off the power, or (2) exit the Maintenance Console so that the PBX
automatically saves the system data.
2. The PC will not perform any shutdown operation, or enter the power-saving system standby mode
while the Maintenance Console is connected to the PBX.
To perform either of the operations above, first close the connection to the PBX.

Section 1
Overview
This section provides an overview of programming the
PBX.
Document Version 2010-11 PC Programming Manual 9

1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Introduction
These programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference for the
PBX. Each feature in the PBX has default settings that can be changed to customize the PBX to your
requirements. These settings control the functions of the PBX, and changing them is referred to as "system
programming".
Only one person can perform system programming at a time. Any other users trying to enter programming
mode will be denied access.
Ways to Program
There are two programming methods:
•PC (Personal Computer) Programming
All features and settings of the PBX can be programmed through PC programming with Maintenance
Console. Installing and starting the Maintenance Console is described in Section 1.2 PC Programming.
Individual PC programming items are described in Section 2 Introduction of Maintenance Console .
•PT (Proprietary Telephone) Programming
A subset of the features and settings of the PBX can be programmed using a PT. PT programming is
described in the PT Programming Manual.

1.2.2 Password Security
To maintain system security, system passwords are required to access certain programming functions of the
PBX. By giving different users access to different passwords, it is possible to control the amount of
programming that each user is able to perform.
The following types of system passwords are available:
Password Description Format
System Password for User Used with the user-level programmer code to access
user-level PC programming. The installer can specify
which system programming settings are available.
4 – 10
characters
System Password for
Administrator
Used with the administrator-level programmer code to
access administrator-level PC programming. The
installer can specify which system programming settings
are available.
System Password for
Installer
Used with the installer-level programmer code to access
installer-level PC programming. All system programming
settings are available.
The three programmer codes used for PC programming can be set through Maintenance Console.
For more information about programmer codes, see 2.1.2 Access Levels.
CAUTION
To the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1. Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2. To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and inform
the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become known to
others.
3. The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that you
program the PBX.
4. Change the passwords periodically.
5. It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum
protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in system
passwords, see 1.1.2 Entering Characters.
6. 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 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 of the Maintenance Console.
However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup copies of the system data file, do not
allow unauthorized access to these files.

2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes
Every time Maintenance Console is started, a dialog box will appear. From here, you can enter any of the 2
available software modes.
•Batch mode
Batch mode allows you to create new system data files, and make modifications to system data files stored
on your PC, without being connected to the PBX. When you connect to the PBX, the modified data will be
uploaded at one time.
•Interactive mode
Interactive mode allows you to directly modify the system data and settings stored in the PBX’s memory
from a PC that is connected to the PBX. This mode displays the system data that is currently being used
by the PBX, rather than the system data stored on the SD memory card. Data can be modified and results
displayed in real time.
To start Maintenance Console in Batch mode
1. Enter the relevant programmer code.
2. Click OK.
The program launcher will appear.
3. Select an option.
