System Outline

This section provides general information on the PBX,

including the system capacity and specifications.

Installation Manual 17
1.1.1 System Highlights

1.1 System Highlights

1.1.1 System Highlights

Networking Features
This PBX supports the following networking features:

TIE Line Service

A TIE line is a privately leased communication line between two or more PBXs, which provides cost effective
communications between company members at different locations.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

VPN is a service provided by the telephone company. It uses an existing line as if it were a private line.

QSIG Network
QSIG is a protocol based on ISDN (Q.931) and offers enhanced PBX features in a private network of two or
more connected PBXs.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Network

The PBX can connect to another PBX via a private IP network. In this case, voice signals are converted into
IP packets and sent through this network. Automatic Rerouting of Calls via a Private IP Network to Public
Trunks is also available, in case of network difficulties.

Built-in Small Call Centre Features

An incoming call distribution group can be used as a small call centre with the following features:

Queuing Feature
When a preprogrammed number of extensions in an incoming call distribution group are busy, additional
incoming calls can wait in a queue. While calls are waiting in the queue, the calls are handled by the Queuing
Time Table, which can be assigned for each time mode (day/lunch/break/night).

Log-in/Log-out
Incoming call distribution group members can join (Log-in) or leave (Log-out) the groups manually. While
logged-in, a member extension can have a preprogrammed time period automatically for refusing calls after
completing the last call (Wrap-up).

VIP Call
It is possible to assign a priority to incoming call distribution groups. If an extension belongs to multiple groups
and the extension becomes idle, queuing calls in the groups will be distributed to the extension in priority order.

Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Features

Connecting a PC to a DPT, or connecting a CTI server to this PBX allows function of the PC, PBX and extension
to be integrated so that, for example, detailed caller information can be taken from a database and displayed
on the PC as a call arrives, or the PC can dial numbers for the extension automatically.

Voice Mail Features

This PBX supports Voice Processing Systems (VPS) with DTMF Integration as well as DPT (Digital)
Integration.

18 Installation Manual
 1.1.1 System Highlights

Parallelled Telephone Features

By connecting telephones in parallel, you can increase the number of telephones connected to the PBX without
adding additional extension cards.

Parallel Mode
An SLT can be connected to an APT or DPT which is connected to a Super Hybrid Port of the 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 which is connected to a Super Hybrid Port of the 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 which is connected to a DPT port or a Super Hybrid Port of the PBX.
Similar to XDP mode, each DPT acts as an independent extension with its own extension number.

Portable Station (PS) Features

PSs can be connected to this PBX. It is possible to use the PBX features using the PS like a PT. A PS can
also be used in parallel with a wired telephone (Wireless XDP Parallel Mode). In this case, the wired telephone
is the main telephone and the PS is the sub telephone.

PC Phone/PC Console Features

This PBX supports PC Phone and PC Console. These Panasonic CTI applications provide advanced features
combining telephone and PC, such as the ability to display detailed caller information, including a photograph,
on the screen of the PC when a call is received, or to dial a telephone number automatically just by selecting
a name.

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, and print out records of guest charges.

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.

Cellular Phone Features (KX-TDA3920 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.

Please read the following notes concerning installation and connection before installing the PBX and terminal
equipment.
Be sure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.

Safety Installation Instructions

When installing telephone wiring, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at
the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Installation Precautions
This PBX is designed for wall mounting only, and should be installed in a location where it is accessible for
inspections and maintenance.
To prevent malfunction, noise, or discolouration, avoid installing the system in the following locations:
1. In direct sunlight and hot, cold, or humid places. (Temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C)
2. Areas where sulfuric gases may be present, such as near thermal springs.
3. Areas where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4. High-dust areas, or places the system may come into contact with water or oil.
5. Near devices that generate high frequencies, such as sewing machines or electric welders.
6. On or near computers, telexes, or other office equipment, as well as microwave ovens or air conditioners.
(It is preferable not to install the system in the same room as the above equipment.)
7. Within 1.8 m of radios and televisions. (Both the PBX and PTs should be at least 1.8 m away from such
devices).
8. Locations where other objects will obstruct the area around the PBX. Be especially careful to leave at least
20 cm of space above and 10 cm to the sides of the PBX for ventilation.
9. Do not stack up the optional service cards. To avoid damage to the optional service cards, always use the
extension bolts.

Wiring Precautions
Be sure to follow these instructions when wiring the unit:
1. Do not run unshielded telephone cables near AC power cables, computer cables, AC power sources, etc.
When running cables near other noise-generating devices or cables, use shielded telephone cables or
shield the telephone cables with metal tubing.
2. If cables are run on the floor, use protectors to prevent the cables from being stepped on. Avoid running
cables under carpets.
3. Avoid using the same AC outlet for computers, telexes, and other office equipment, as noise generated by
such equipment may hamper system performance or interrupt the system.
4. Use 2-pair telephone cables when connecting PTs.
Use 1-pair telephone cables when connecting SLTs, data terminals, answering machines, computers,
Voice Processing Systems, etc.

36 Installation Manual
 2.1.1 Before Installation

5. Unplug the system from its power source when wiring, and plug the system back in only after all wiring is
completed.
6. Mis-wiring may cause the PBX to operate improperly. Refer to "Section 2 Installation" when wiring the
system.
7. If an extension does not operate properly, disconnect the telephone from the extension line and connect
it again, or turn off the PBX using the power switch, then turn it on again.
8. For safety purposes this unit is equipped with an earthed plug. If you do not have an earthed outlet, please
have one installed. Do not bypass this safety feature by tampering with the plug.
9. Use twisted pair cable for trunk connection.
10. Trunks should be installed with surge protectors. For details, refer to "2.2.12 Surge Protector

2.2.12 Surge Protector Installation

2.2.12 Surge Protector Installation

Overview
A massive electrical surge can be caused if lightning strikes a telephone cable 10 m above ground, or if a
telephone line comes into contact with a power line. A surge protector is a device that is connected to a trunk
to prevent potentially dangerous electrical surges from entering the building via the trunk and damaging the
PBX and connected equipment.

To protect the system from electrical surges, we strongly recommend connecting the system to a surge
protector that meets the following specifications:
– Surge arrestor type: 3-electrode arrestor
– DC spark-over voltage: 230 V
– Maximum peak current: at least 10 kA
Additionally, proper earthing is very important for the protection of the system (refer to "2.2.5 Frame Earth
Connection").

Many countries/areas have regulations requiring surge protection. Be sure to comply with all applicable laws,
regulations, and guidelines.

2.7.2 Procedure Overview

2.7.2 Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. Site surveys can be
conducted using the KX-TCA255/KX-TCA256/KX-TCA355/KX-TD7590 PS. An incorrectly performed site
survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

1. Investigate the installation site

Refer to "2.7.3 Site Planning".
a. Obtain a map of the CS installation site.
b. Identify the service area required by the user on the map.
c. Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.

2. Prepare for site survey

Refer to "2.7.4 Before Site Survey".
a. Check and assign the CS ID number to the PS.
b. Assign a channel number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.
c. Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor/battery box or by connecting them to a Super Hybrid
Port or a DLC card.
d. Install each CS temporarily as planned.
Note
• Install at least 2 m above the floor.
• Keep the antennas in the upright position.

3. Conduct the site survey

Refer to "2.7.5 Site Survey Using the KX-TCA255/KX-TCA256/KX-TCA355/KX-TD7590".
a. Test the radio signal strength using the PS.
Confirm that the radio signal strength level is "12" near the CS.

b. By walking away from the CS with the PS, check the radio signal strength. The radio signal strength
weakens as you walk away from the CS.
c. Map the CS coverage area at radio signal strength levels "3" and "8".

126 Installation Manual

 2.7.2 Procedure Overview

d. Make sure that adjacent CS coverage areas overlap where the radio signal strength level is "8" by at least
5 m.
e. Make sure that the radio signal strength level is greater than "3" at any location within the service area
required by the user.

4. Finish the site survey

Refer to "2.7.6 After Site Survey".
a. Turn off the PS.
b. Stop supplying power, and return all DIP switches of each CS to the OFF position.

5. Connect the CS and PS to the PBX and test the operation

Refer to "2.7.7 Connecting a Cell Station to the PBX".
a. Connect the CSs to the PBX.
b. Register the PSs to the PBX.
c. Walk around the service area while having a conversation using a registered PS. If noise is frequent or
conversations disconnect, relocate the CSs or install an additional CS.

6. Mount the CS on the wall

Refer to "2.7.8 Wall Mounting".
a. If there are no problems in testing, mount the CS on the wall.

2.7.3 Site Planning

2.7.3 Site Planning

Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location
may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.

Understanding Radio Waves

Characteristics of Radio Waves
The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the
building.
Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment may
create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.
The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.
1. Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.
2. Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.
3. Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.

1. Reflection
CS

Column

2. Diffraction

3. Penetration

Relationships Between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials

• The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number of
obstacles.
• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.
• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.
• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from
various materials.

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Wall Concrete The thicker they are, the less radio waves penetrate them.
Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves are reflected.

128 Installation Manual

 2.7.3 Site Planning

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Window Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.

Glass with wire net Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be reflected.
Glass covered with Radio waves are weakened considerably when they penetrate
heat-resistant film windows.
Floor Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves are reflected.
Partition Steel Radio waves are reflected and rarely penetrate them.
Plywood, Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Column Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Metal Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Cabinet Steel Radio waves are usually reflected or diffracted, and rarely penetrate
them.
Wood Radio waves can penetrate them, but they are weakened.

c. Check the layout and dimensions of the room, corridor, etc.
d. Write down the above information on the map.
2. Examine the service area required by the user on the map, referring to the following example.
a. Draw the coverage area around a CS. Extend the coverage area 30 m to 60 m in each direction,
depending on the materials of the building structures and obstacles in the installation site. Note that a
CS cannot be installed outside a building.
b. If 1 CS cannot cover the entire service area, install additional CSs as required. Overlap the coverage
areas of adjacent CSs.

130 Installation Manual

 2.7.3 Site Planning

Where CS coverage areas overlap, the PS will start call handover to the next CS if the signal from one
CS becomes weak. However, if a PS moves away from a CS and there are no CSs available for
handover, the PS may go out of range and the call could be lost.

Example: Installing in a Room Separated by Interior Walls

Things to take note of:
• The room is separated by interior walls.
• The room is surrounded by concrete walls.
CS installation plan:
• The coverage area of each CS will not extend as far as when there are no obstacles, because the radio
signals will be weakened by separating walls. Therefore, you will need 5 CSs to cover the entire room.

WARNING
The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not
connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause
it to become disconnected.

Notice
• For users in the United Kingdom:
240 V AC must not be used on a building site. Instead of an AC adaptor, connect a battery box to
the CS.
• If the Power Supply Select switch is set to ON in step 3, connect the CS to an AC adaptor/battery

KX-TD7590
The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link to the CS for site survey. In
Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of
the other slots can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs temporarily as
planned during site planning, set the PS to Radio Signal Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage
area. Then, record the results on the map of the installation site.

Testing the Radio Signal Strength

After locating the CS(s) temporarily, execute the Radio Signal Test using the PS. Directly after entering Radio
Signal Test mode, the PS scans channel 0 for a CS that it can connect to. The channel to be scanned can be
changed by pressing the appropriate keys 0 through 9.

 2.8.2 Procedure Overview

2.8.2 Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. An incorrectly performed
site survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

1. Investigate the installation site

Refer to "2.8.3 Site Planning".
a. Obtain a map of the CS installation site.
b. Identify the service area required by the user on the map.
c. Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.

2. Prepare the CS for site survey

Refer to "2.8.4 Before Site Survey".
a. Assign a CS number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.
b. Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor/battery box or by connecting them to a Super Hybrid
Port or a DLC card.
c. Install each CS temporarily as planned.
Note
• Install at least 2 m above the floor.
• Keep the antennas in the upright position.

3. Conduct the site survey

Refer to "2.8.5 Site Survey".
a. Test the radio signal strength using the PS.

b. By walking away from the CS with the PS, check the radio signal strength. The radio signal strength
weakens as you walk away from the CS.
c. Map the CS coverage area at radio signal strength levels "3" and "8".
d. Make sure that adjacent CS coverage areas overlap where the radio signal strength level is "8" by at least
5 m.
e. Make sure that the radio signal strength level is greater than "3" at any location within the service area
required by the user.

4. Finish the site survey

Refer to "2.8.6 After Site Survey".
a. Turn off the PS.
b. Stop supplying power, and return all DIP switches of each CS to the OFF position.

5. Connect the CS and PS to the PBX and test the operation

Refer to "2.8.7 Connecting a Cell Station to the PBX".
a. Connect the CSs to the PBX.
b. Register the PSs to the PBX.
c. Walk around the service area while having a conversation using a registered PS. If noise is frequent or
conversations disconnect, relocate the CSs or install an additional CS.

6. Mount the CS on the wall

Refer to "2.8.8 Wall Mounting".
a. If there are no problems in testing, mount the CS on the wall.

2.8.3 Site Planning

Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location
may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.

Understanding Radio Waves

Characteristics of Radio Waves
The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the
building.
Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment may
create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.
The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.
1. Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.
2. Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.
3. Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.

1. Reflection
CS

Column

2. Diffraction

3. Penetration

Relationships Between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials

• The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number of
obstacles.
• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.
• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.
• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from
various materials.

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Wall Concrete The thicker they are, the less radio waves penetrate them.
Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves are reflected.

Installation Manual 159

2.8.3 Site Planning

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Window Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.

Glass with wire net Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be reflected.
Glass covered with Radio waves are weakened considerably when they penetrate
heat-resistant film windows.
Floor Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves are reflected.
Partition Steel Radio waves are reflected and rarely penetrate them.
Plywood, Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Column Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is, the
more radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Metal Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Cabinet Steel Radio waves are usually reflected or diffracted, and rarely
penetrate them.
Wood Radio waves can penetrate them, but they are weakened.

Radio Signal Strength Levels

Level: 00 Out of range
Level: 01 to 02 Receives noise easily or disconnects
Level: 03 to 07 May receive noise
Level: 08 to 10 Good
Level: 11 to 12 Better

Site Survey Preparation

1. Obtain a map and investigate the installation site.
a. Check the obstacles (e.g., shelves, columns, and partitions).
b. Check the materials of the structures (e.g., metal, concrete, and plywood).
c. Check the layout and dimensions of the room, corridor, etc.
d. Write down the above information on the map.
2. Examine the service area required by the user on the map, referring to the following example.
a. Draw the coverage area around a CS. Extend the coverage area 30 m to 60 m in each direction,
depending on the materials of the building structures and obstacles in the installation site. Note that a
CS cannot be installed outside a building.
b. If one CS cannot cover the entire service area, install additional CSs as required. Overlap the coverage
areas of adjacent CSs.

Installation Manual 161

2.8.3 Site Planning

Where CS coverage areas overlap, the PS will start call handover to the next CS if the signal from one
CS becomes weak. However, if a PS moves away from a CS and there are no CSs available for
handover, the PS may go out of range and the call could be lost.
If the signal from the CS fades, due to the structure of the building, there may be some handover delay.
The user will hear a range warning before handover in this case. This also applies in the case of
interference from 2.4 GHz apparatus.

Example: Installing in a Room Separated by Interior Walls

Things to take note of:
• The room is separated by interior walls.
• The room is surrounded by concrete walls.
CS installation plan:
• The coverage area of each CS will not extend as far as when there are no obstacles, because the radio
signals will be weakened by separating walls. Therefore, you will need 5 CSs to cover the entire room.

 2.9.2 Procedure Overview

2.9.2 Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. An incorrectly performed
site survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

Notice
• When installing the DECT 6.0 wireless system in an area where another wireless system (2.4 GHz) is
already installed, it is necessary to reconduct the site survey to find the optimum position for the CS.
If you install the new CS in the same position as the old CS, it may result in a poor service area, frequent
noise, and disconnection of calls.
• In this case, it is necessary to perform system initialisation. For details about the system initialisation
procedure, refer to "2.13.1 Starting the PBX".

1. Investigate the installation site

Refer to "2.9.3 Site Planning".
a. Obtain a map of the CS installation site.
b. Identify the service area required by the user on the map.
c. Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.

2. Prepare for site survey

Refer to "2.9.4 Before Site Survey".
a. Check and assign the CS ID number to the PS.
b. Assign a channel number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.
c. Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor/battery box or by connecting them to the PBX.
d. Install each CS temporarily as planned.
Note
• Install at least 2 m above the floor.
• Place the antennas so that they are pointing in directions that are 90 degrees apart (for antenna
diversity).

3. Conduct the site survey

Refer to "2.9.5 Site Survey".
a. Test the radio signal strength using the PS.
Confirm that the radio signal strength level is "12" near the CS.

 2.9.3 Site Planning

2.9.3 Site Planning

Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location
may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.

Understanding Radio Waves

Characteristics of Radio Waves
The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the
building.
Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment may
create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.
The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.
1. Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.
2. Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.
3. Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.

1. Reflection
CS

Column

2. Diffraction

3. Penetration

Relationships between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials

• The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number of
obstacles.
• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.
• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.
• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from
various materials.

Installation Manual 187

2.9.3 Site Planning

Object Material Transmission Tendency

Wall Concrete The thicker they are, the less radio waves
penetrate them.
Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more
iron there is, the more radio waves are reflected.
Window Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Glass with wire net Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be
reflected.
Glass covered with Radio waves are weakened considerably when
heatresistant film they penetrate windows.
Floor Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more
iron there is, the more radio waves are reflected.
Partition Steel Radio waves are reflected and rarely penetrate
them.
Plywood, Glass Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Column Ferroconcrete Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more
iron there is, the more radio waves tend to be
reflected or diffracted.
Metal Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted.
Cabinet Steel Radio waves are usually reflected or diffracted,
and rarely penetrate them.
Wood Radio waves can penetrate them, but they are
weakened.

Level: 11 to 12 Better
Level: 08 to 10 Good
Level: 03 to 07 May receive noise
Level: 01 to 02 Receives noise easily or disconnects
Level: 00 Out of range

Site Survey Preparation

1. Obtain a map and investigate the installation site.
a. Check the obstacles (e.g., shelves, columns, and partitions).
b. Check the materials of the structures (e.g., metal, concrete, and plywood).
c. Check the layout and dimensions of the room, corridor, etc.
d. Write down the above information on the map.
2. Examine the service area required by the user on the map, referring to the following example.
a. Draw the coverage area around a CS. Extend the coverage area 20 m to 50 m in each direction,
depending on the materials of the building structures and obstacles in the installation site. Note that a
CS cannot be installed outside a building.
b. If 1 CS cannot cover the entire service area, install additional CSs as required. Overlap the coverage
areas of adjacent CSs.

Installation Manual 189

2.9.3 Site Planning

Where CS coverage areas overlap, the PS will start call handover to the next CS if the signal from one
CS becomes weak. However, if a PS moves away from a CS and there are no CSs available for
handover, the PS may go out of range and the call could be lost.

Example: Installing in a Room Separated by Interior Walls

Things to take note of:
• The room is separated by interior walls.
• The room is surrounded by concrete walls.
CS installation plan:
• The coverage area of each CS will not extend as far as when there are no obstacles, because the radio
signals will be weakened by separating walls. Therefore, you will need 5 CSs to cover the entire room.

2.9.5 Site Survey

2.9.5 Site Survey

The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link to the CS for site survey. In
Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of
the other slots can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs temporarily as
planned during site planning, set the PS to Radio Signal Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage
area. Then, record the results on the map of the installation site.

Testing the Radio Signal Strength

After locating the CS(s) temporarily, execute the Radio Signal Test using the PS. Directly after entering Radio
Signal Test mode, the PS scans channel 0 for a CS that it can connect to. The channel to be scanned can be
changed by pressing the appropriate keys 0 through 4.

Note
• Storing the scan data will clear all directory data.
• The PS will not operate in normal mode if scan data is saved on it. For details on clearing scan
data, refer to "Clearing the Stored Scan Data".
2. Measure the radio signal strength by moving towards and away from the CS.
a. Move to the CS until the radio signal strength level becomes "12".
b. Move away from the CS and identify the CS coverage area within which the radio signal strength level
is greater than "8". Draw the area on the map.

Note
• If a channel is set, the results of measurement for the 24 slots on the channel are saved each time.
If the same channel is set, the new results override the previous ones. Therefore, a measurement
of 5 channels ´ 24 slots in total can be made.
• If correct results cannot be obtained (e.g., there are many frame errors), change the location of the
CS and repeat the site survey to select the best location.
• If multiple CSs cover the same area, the phone connection may become noisy or the number of
possible simultaneous calls with PSs may decrease due to interference between the CSs. As a
guideline, the maximum number of CSs in an area with a radio signal strength of "11" is 4 (for
KX-TDA0155)/2 (for KX-TDA0158).

• When connecting multiple KX-TDA0158 CSs to a Super Hybrid Port or a DLC4/DLC8 card, make sure
that the no. 3, 4, 5 and 6 pins (Master) of adjacent CSs are at least 2 pairs of pins away on the card.
• For details about the DLC4 card or DLC8 card, refer to "2.4.1 DLC4 Card (KX-TDA3171)"
or "2.4.3 DLC8 Card (KX-TDA3172)".
• CS connections must be made within the same Super Hybrid Port or DLC4/DLC8 card.
• When a wrong connection is made, satisfactory performance of the CS cannot be guaranteed. Check
the connection of CS and the PBX using the Maintenance Console. For information about how to view
CS information using the Maintenance Console, refer to "2.6.14 Utility—CS Information" in the PC

Setting the Personal Identification Number (PIN) for PS Registration

To prevent registering the PS to a wrong PBX, a PIN for PS registration can be set to the PBX. Before registering
the PS to the PBX, enter the PIN set to the PBX into the PS. By doing so, the PS will only be registered to the
PBX with the matching PIN.

Note
• By default, the PIN for PS registration is "1234" for both the PBX and PS. Therefore, the PS can be
registered to the PBX without setting the PIN.
• The PIN for PS registration will only be used when registering the PS to the PBX. Therefore, during
normal operation after registration, even if there is more than 1 PBX with the same PIN near the PS,
the PS will not be inadvertently linked to a different PBX.

236 Installation Manual

 3.2.1 PC Connection

1. Make sure that both connector cases (frame ground) of the RS-232C straight cable (shielded cable)
are conductive. If they are not conductive, make sure that both connector cases of the cable are firmly
connected.
2. If this is not possible, connect the frame of the PBX to the frame of the PC using an earthing wire in
order to prevent difference in the electrical potentials.
After connecting the PBX and the external modem, set the power switch of the external modem to "ON", then
the external modem will be initialised with the default values.
The following AT command settings may be required for the modem:
• The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal should be ignored.
• The Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)/Modem flow control should be turned off.
• Data compression should be disabled.
• Error Correction is not necessary.
Note
• An AT command (for initialisation, enabling automatic answer, etc.) can only be programmed by the
Maintenance Console. "AT&F" is stored as the default value.
• For more information about the AT command, refer to the external modem’s instructions.

Password Security
Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1. Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2. To avoid unauthorised 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
programme 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 unauthorised access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in system passwords,
refer to "1.1.2 Entering Characters" in the PC Programming Manual.

which includes updates to this and other manuals.
b. Click OK to close this window.
4. a. Enter the Installer Level Programmer Code (default:
INSTALLER).
The Programmer Code authorises different
programming levels, and the Quick Setup is only
available when you start the Maintenance Console
with the Installer Level Programmer Code.

3.3.1 Installing and Starting the Maintenance Console

7. When country/area data do not match:

a. Click OK to replace the country/area data of the PBX.
Replacement may take several minutes to complete.
b. Follow the procedure described in "2.13.1 Starting the
PBX" and restart the PBX.
c. Repeat step 5 to reconnect the Maintenance Console
to the PBX.
8. Follow the instructions of the Quick Setup wizard and
assign the basic items (Quick Setup).
The system menu appears. You may now begin
programming the PBX.

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.
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.
