Section 1
Overview
This section provides an overview of programming the PBX.

1.1 Introduction
10 PC Programming Manual
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 KX-
TDA Maintenance Console. Installing and starting the Maintenance Console is described in
Section 1.2 PC Programming. Individual PC programming items are described in
Maintenance Console Operating Instructions.
•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.
1.1.2 Entering Characters
The characters on a white background below can be used when storing a name, message, password
or other text entry data using a PC. The available characters vary according to the model of PBX.

PC Programming Manual 13
Installing the Maintenance Console
Notes
• To install or uninstall the software on a PC running Windows XP Professional, you must be
logged in as a user in either the "Administrators" or "Power Users" group.
• To install or uninstall the software on a PC running Windows Vista Business, you must be
logged in as a user in the "Administrators" group.
• To connect the PC to the PBX via USB, the KX-TDA USB driver must be installed. Follow
the instructions of the wizard to install the KX-TDA USB driver. When the PBX is first
connected to the PC via USB, you may be asked to select the appropriate USB driver.
Browse for and select the KX-TDA USB driver that was installed previously.
Starting the Maintenance Console and Assigning the Basic Items (Quick
Setup)
When you start the Maintenance Console with the Installer Level Programmer Code and connect to
the PBX for the first time after initialization (with the factory default setting), Quick Setup will launch
automatically. During Quick Setup, you will set up the following basic items:
• Date and Time of the PBX. The date and time set to the PC's clock will be used.
• System Password for installer for PC programming.
• Operator and manager settings. Operator extensions for all time modes (day/lunch/break/

Notice
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.
4. a. Enter the Installer Level Programmer Code (default:
INSTALLER).
The Programmer Code authorizes different
programming levels, and the Quick Setup is only
available when you start the Maintenance Console
with the Installer Level Programmer Code.
Note
There are 2 other Programmer Codes with limited
authorization: Administrator Level (default: ADMIN),
and User Level (default: USER). (→1.2.2 Password
Security)
b. Click OK.
5. Click Connect.
6. a. Select the USB tab.
b. Enter the system password for installer (default:
1234).
c. Click Connect.
Note
To connect to the PBX via USB, the KX-TDA USB
driver must be installed on the PC, as explained above
in "Installing the Maintenance Console".
7. Follow the instructions of the Quick Setup wizard and
assign the basic items.
The system menu appears. You may now begin
programming the PBX.

PC Programming Manual 15
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.
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.
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:
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.
Warning 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.
