Introduction

Welcome to the Panasonic Voice Processing System


The Voice Processing System (VPS) is a flexible, automated communication tool
that may have a profound effect on the productivity of your work place.
The TVP200 is an 8-port system. The TVP200 can store up to 32 hours of voice
data. Each VPS port is connected to an extension port of a PBX or a CO line.
How the VPS and PBX communicate is quite simple. The PBX thinks that the
VPS is a single line telephone. The VPS will mimic all the actions that a live attendant would carry out from an ordinary single line telephone. The voice prompts
help you command the VPS. You can communicate with the VPS using keys on
your phone.
The VPS enables you to receive and deliver messages using mailboxes which are
assigned to each of you. You can control all your calls responding to voice
prompts with the touch of a key entry on a phone, even if you are away from your
office. The VPS follows your instructions quickly and gives you reliable, accurate
services. Whether you are out of the office, on the phone, or just unavailable to
answer the phone, the VPS handles all your calls accordingly. For example, transferring to an extension directly, paging over the intercom system, taking a message
in a mailbox, and so forth.
If messages arrive in your mailbox, the VPS will notify you by using a lamp on the
phone, a beeper or a telephone call. With this feature, you do not have to worry
about missing important calls.
Exchanging information with the VPS is fast and simple. You can leave a voice
message without speaking directly to the recipient by accessing the desired mailbox.
You do not need any extra paperwork. The editing function in the system enables
you to review and change messages. Also you can assign a password to your message to protect it from being heard by any other person.
The VPS increases the value of time spent in your business and personal life by
minimizing paperwork. It sends messages and notifies you of new messages at the
exact time you designate. It never wastes time by tying you up with lengthy calls.
For both you and outside callers, the VPS will contribute greatly to the growth of
your telephone service.

Overview

1.1

Introduction
The VPS provides four incoming call services: Automated Attendant service,
Voice Mail service, Custom service, or Interview service. A number of features
incorporated into the VPS can be carried out depending upon your communication
needs. By assigning one of the incoming call services to a VPS port, people who
dial the VPS telephone number can select specific communication features by responding to the voice prompts. You can use the VPS as a backup receptionist to
handle the overflow of unanswered calls to your live attendant. Or you can use the
system to guide your callers to the services you provide. The VPS is equipped
with many convenient features which will allow you to create an effective communication system to suit your needs.

Overview

1-3

1.2

Call Services
You can set the VPS to answer incoming calls with the following four call services: Automated Attendant service, Voice Mail service, Custom service, or Interview service. These services can be assigned to each VPS port. See Port Assignment in Chapter 4.
Each service can not only be assigned to a VPS extension as an independent service, but also can be used in combination with other services. Refer to these four
services in Chapter 3.
Callers can also access the Automated Attendant service and Voice Mail service
any time by pressing the appropriate Service Access Command key during the
other call services (see Service Access Command in Chapter 3).

Automated Attendant Service


When callers reach this service, they will hear a list of options. Callers can reach
their desired party by entering the extension number followed by [#]. Callers may
also dial by department (Department Dialing) or by name (Dialing by Name).
The VPS responds to the command by either routing the caller to the extension or
the operator. When a station is specified, the call will be treated with the Call
Transfer status set up by each station:
Call Blocking
You can block incoming calls so as not to be connected with your extension.
Call Screening
The VPS tells you the callers name before connecting the call. You can decide
whether or not to answer the call.
Intercom Paging
The VPS pages you over the intercom paging system.
Calling a Beeper
The VPS calls your beeper and displays the callers callback number on the beeper
display.
For further information, refer to Call Transfer Status in Chapter 3. You also have
the option of not setting a Call Transfer Status. Call will be directly connected
with your extension. Even if the extension is busy or there is no answer, the VPS
will handle the call with one of the following:
Hold
When the extension is busy, the caller has the option of holding the call temporarily. After a short period, the VPS will call the extension again.
Leaving a Message
The caller is automatically transferred to the mailbox of the extension.

Overview

1.2

Call Services
Transfer to the Covering Extension
The call is transferred to the covering extension which handles the call by its own
Call Transfer status.
Intercom Paging
The VPS pages you over the intercom paging system.
Calling a Beeper
The VPS calls your beeper and displays the callers callback number on the beeper
display.
Calling the Operator
The caller can talk to the operator.
Returning to the Automated Attendant Top Menu
The call is sent back to the top menu of the Automated Attendant service and may
have the option of calling another extension.
You can activate several options simultaneously so that the caller can choose one

by entering the mailbox number followed by [#]. Meanwhile, you can use other
versatile features (Subscriber service):
Message Scan
You can listen to the first four seconds of each recorded message.
Receive Message
You can playback messages.
Message Transfer
After listening to the messages, you can transfer them to other mailboxes with your
additional comments.
Message Delivery, Internal
The VPS will automatically deliver your message to other mailboxes.
Private Message
You can prohibit your message from being transferred to other mailboxes.

Call Services
Message Delivery Status
You can check if your message has been already sent to the desired destination.
See Chapter 3 for other available features. And for Subscribers, the Subscribers
Guide has been edited to show how to use these features from a telephone.
Your VPS messages are safely locked in a mailbox guarded by a password known
only to you. The VPS also reduces telephone tag and illegibly-written messages
as well as giving you a confidential form of communication. Likewise, this service
can be used to encourage development of concise messages, making it an efficient
time-management tool. For example, you can minimize interruptions when you
need to focus on work at hand by forwarding your calls to the VPS. The Voice
Mail service can also be a reminder service, by scheduling messages to yourself.

Interview Service
When most of your callers will want a service like service scheduling and order
taking, use the interview mailbox. It will help you gather concise information in a
methodical way. You can set up a questionnaire mailbox with as many as ten
questions, and obtain specific information from customers calling the VPS. When
callers access this mailbox, they can leave messages responding to a series of questions presented to them. An interview mailbox can be assigned to each mailbox
owner depending upon the Class of Service setting. Therefore, the questions can
be recorded by the owner of the interview mailbox by telephone. One of the interview mailboxes can be used for the Interview service on a port basis.

Custom Service
By assigning specific functions to the telephone keypad digits, callers can access
the services or people they need. This service is the key to making your business
stronger. For example, the VPS can give your customers 24-hour service: they can
leave orders in mailboxes, obtain product information, or notify your service staff
of an emergency. Callers can reach their desired extensions or mailboxes by selecting a key one by one. On the other hand, callers can skip the Custom service
menus to go to either the desired party or mailbox.
The System Administrator is responsible for programming each custom service
menu. The custom service menu messages are recorded by the Message Manager.
In regarding the Custom service and Interview service, it is necessary to program
the details on your own. You will find a programming example in Chapter 3. See
Custom Service and Interview Service.

1.3

Other Features
Some of the mailbox features are restricted in some mailboxes. The following features are only available to mailbox owners who are authorized by the Class of Service (COS) setting.

Message Waiting Notification


The VPS will notify you of messages which came in your mailbox by illuminating
the message waiting lamp on your extension and by calling a pre-programmed telephone or beeper. The telephone number of the caller can be displayed on the
beeper instead of a VPS extension number. In this case, you can directly contact
with the caller in an emergency without retrieving the message in the mailbox.
When you often work out of the office, this service eliminates the need to regularly
check your mailbox. Also up to two time frames can be set on each day of the
week. You can not only concentrate on your work but also deal with an urgent
matter wherever you are.

External Message Delivery


In addition to message delivery to other mailboxes, the VPS can send your message to people outside of your company. You can also set the delivery date and
time. When the set time comes, the VPS will call the destination. The VPS voice
prompts will tell the receiver to receive the message. Only the person who knows
the password can listen to the message. With the password (four digits), the VPS
gives you a reliable, confidential communication service.

Auto Forwarding
You can set the unreceived messages to be forwarded or copied automatically to
another mailbox. With this feature, you can assign your job to another extension
on your day-off.
When the VPS is connected to a Panasonic KX-TD series telephone system with D-PITS Voice
Mail Integration, the following convenient features will enhance the mailbox operation.

Live Call Screening (LCS)*


LCS is like having an answering machine right at your desk. It combines the functions of the VPS with a proprietary telephone set. When the LCS feature is activated, you can monitor incoming messages to the mailbox, and decide whether or
not to take the call.

Overview

1-7

1.3

Other Features

Two-Way Recording*
This feature reduces the trouble of writing down messages. You can record a conversation in the mailbox or another persons mailbox while talking on the phone.
If you press the feature key on your proprietary telephone, the VPS will start to
record your telephone conversation.

Direct Mailbox Access*


You can reach your mailbox by simply dialing a VPS extension without dialing
your mailbox number. All you have to do is to enter the correct password.

* Applicable only when you have a Panasonic KX-TD series telephone system and the D-PITS
Voice Mail Integration is activated.

Chapter 3 describes these features in detail.

1.4

Outside Caller Handling


The VPS helps a caller access his desired party. The VPS plays voice prompts to
instruct him what to do next. The caller has only to press the suitable key on the
phone following the voice prompts.
Even rotary telephone callers can make use of the VPS. The system can be set to
send callers to the operator or the General Delivery Mailbox (G.D.M.). When they
leave messages in the G.D.M., the Message Manager will transfer the message to
other mailboxes. See Rotary Telephone Service in Chapter 3.
With the VPS, you can also communicate with people all over the world. To expand your business field, the VPS has been designed to support up to three languages. Callers can choose the language of the instructions of the VPS. The first
language, English, is recorded at the factory. The second and the third languages
are recorded by the Message Manager according to your business needs. See
Multi-Lingual Service and Voice Prompts in Chapter 3.
When callers access the VPS, they are greeted by one of 32 company greetings.
The Message Manager records the greetings so that callers are also properly
greeted on holidays or during after-hours. See Company Greetings in Chapter 3.
The VPS connects the caller who needs human help with an operator. He can
reach a live operator by pressing [0] at any time. Up to three operators can be assigned. See Operator Service in Chapter 3.
Callers can access the desired extension by dialing a one-digit number (19) when
they are in the Department Dialing menu. For callers to access the Department Dialing service, the Service Access Command [#] [3] is available. See Department
Dialing in Chapter 3.
Some callers who do not know the number of their desired extensions or mailboxes
may be unable to enter the correct number when asked by the VPS. However, they
can also reach the desired party by dialing the first three or four letters of the persons last name. For callers to access this feature, the Service Access Command
[#] [1] is available. See Dialing by Name in Chapter 3.
Because written communication is also essential to enhance the efficiency of your
business capability, you may want to have fax calls received frequently. To avoid
being interrupted by fax signals, the VPS identifies a fax call and transfers it to a
fax extension for you. Up to two fax extensions can be specified as the destination,
so that one serves as a backup for the other. The system notifies a specified person
whether the fax call was successfully completed. See Fax Management in Chapter 3.

Guidelines for Preparation

Programming
System Administrator
The System Administrator is responsible for setting up system parameters, administrating the parameters, or diagnosing the system with the use of an interactive
screen based program. The VPS can be programmed using VT100, Compatible
Terminals or other ASCII Terminals. On top of each screen display in this manual,
you will find a programming instruction indicated by an arrow (see page 4-5).
This will help you locate the desired programming screen quickly.
To begin with, confirm that the system installation preparations are complete and
that the rotary switch is set to the right value (see Chapter 2).
After you finish system startup, we recommend that you employ the Quick Setup
feature. This provides a quick way of setting up the VPS for basic Voice Mail or
Automated Attendant service. It includes mailbox creation, incoming call service
setting for all ports, time setting, password setting and several other programming
items which must be done initially in order to start the VPS operation. See Quick
Setup in Chapter 4.
The VPS provides a remarkable setup which is a combination of the startup system
and the Quick Setup. In other words, the Quick Setup can be done automatically
when you start up the VPS when D-PITS Voice Mail Integration with a Panasonic
KX-TD series telephone system is activated (see page 4-3). The VPS obtains necessary information from your PBX over data link: extension numbers which the
VPS refers to create mailbox and the time. See Auto Configuration in Chapter 3.
If you select the Program mode at the System Administration top menu (see page
4-7), you can customize the VPS:
Mailbox Setting
You can edit the parameters of each mailbox. Also, you can set parameters for the
Message Waiting Notification-Device feature, including the time frame setting.
Class of Service
You can define a set of services (164) available for each mailbox.
Port Service

(No port cards are installed at the factory.)
4 Digital ports expansion card (KX-TVP204)
2 Digital/Analog ports expansion card (KX-TVP102)
One KX-TVP204 (2 jacks) can support four VPS ports using D-PITS Integration mode only, and KX-TVP204 does not work under other integration
modes (INBAND Integration, None).
One KX-TVP102 (2 jacks) can support two VPS ports under any integration
mode.

Note: You can use only one Integration mode among D-PITS, Inband, and None.
To set the Integration mode, please see "4.5.6.3.1 Dialing Parameters".
There are three SLOTs in the KX-TVP200, and 4 VPS ports are assigned physically for each SLOT, so 12 VPS ports are physically prepared in total, however
system can support only 8 ports max.
But in case you use the KX-TVP102, only the first 2 ports of the physical 4 ports
of the card will be effective.
For example, when you mount the KX-TVP204 in SLOT1, the VPS supports Port
1-4. But when you mount the KX-TVP102 in SLOT1, the VPS supports only
Port1 and Port2. Please see the following table for all card configurations and the
effective number of ports in each case. When the VPS administrator sets up
parameters for any port ("4.5.3 Port Service" and "4.5.6.2 Hardware-Port
Setting"), please be careful to set up for the proper port number of VPS ports.

Installation
D-PITS Integration
To the Panasonic KX-TD series PBX, the VPS ports look like digital extensions.
The digital communication (2B+D) provides two VPS ports for each Digital
Station port of the PBX.
For example, when you mount two KX-TVP204 cards, you can use eight VPS
ports in total by connecting four jacks of the KX-TD1232 to four jacks of the
KX-TVP200.
Note: 1. To use D-PITS Integration, the lowest jack of the KX-TVP200 must be
connected to the lowest number jack assigned as a Voice Mail Port
Assignment in KX-TD series. Please see the following connection examples.

Note:

Features and Services

The callback number is the number which the caller wishes you
to callback.

There are five options in this mode. System Programming specifies one:
(a) Disable:
Deactivates this mode. Notification is made without the
callback number display.
(b) Select:
The VPS asks the caller to enter a callback number only
when the message is specified as urgent.
(c) Before:
The VPS asks the caller to enter a callback number before
message recording.
(d) After:
The VPS asks the caller to enter a callback number after
message recording.
(e) Without:
The VPS asks the caller only for the entry of a callback
number. The caller cannot record a message.
When Busy or No-Answer
The VPS retries notification as many times as specified in Retry Times.
The callback number is displayed on the beeper only for the first set of
retries.
* If the message is recorded at the last moment of a notification time, the notification time
may expire before the VPS starts calling. In this case, the callback number is never
displayed even if it is entered correctly.

Conditions

Only the Subscriber or the Message Manager who is authorized by Class of


Service programming can use this feature.
To use this feature, the following two conditions must be satisfied:
(a) The callback number display code must be included in the beeper
number.
(b) The beeper is activated and it is within the notification time.
To differentiate voice mail callback notification from regular beeper pages,
it may be helpful to prefix the callback number with a one or two digit code
of your choice.
If the caller does not enter a callback number, the VPS displays the system
callback number stored in the VPS.
The VPS starts notification via the beeper immediately after the message
with a callback number is recorded. Even if the VPS is attempting to retry
notification of other messages, the attempt is canceled.

Recording Custom Service Menu Messages (page 6-14)

[Programming Example]
As Custom service is so tailored, it is impossible to write all of potential
examples in this manual. We will illustrate a short sample program with
which we will show you how to create a Custom service in the VPS.
Suppose that you are a general manager of a distributor of office automation
machines and tools. Most of your incoming calls are either orders for articles
of consumption or requests for repair service. These calls have been increasing
recently, so you decided to introduce a VPS to handle them instead of hiring
an operator.
You want to transfer the calls for repair service directly to the engineers of
the respective machines so that the caller can directly talk with the person in
charge in detail about the situation of the machine.
On the other hand, you want to use an Interview mailbox to receive calls for
purchase orders. Answering each question is the shortest way for callers to
leave information required for purchase order.
1. Constructing a Tree
First of all, you should create a tree to design how to route incoming calls
to the desired extension or mailbox. The drawing will help you to see the
route at a glance. Please note that the tree should include all the options
among which the caller can choose. The tree should not be deeper than eight
layers.
The next figure shows the tree of the sample program.
You can see the structure of the tree on the display of your terminal using
the Utility Command CREP (see Utility Commands).

2. Filling the Worksheet


In each Custom service menu, you can:
(a) assign one of 11 call transfer functions to each key of 0 to 9,
and #. These functions determine where the call should be transferred
next.
(b) define how to handle the call when there is no input. Chapter 4 describes
the details of each parameter.
In addition to mailbox or extension numbers, you can assign another Custom
service menu that contains different options. See Custom 1 in the above
figure. If the caller chooses the repair service order, he will be transferred
into Custom 2 in which he can choose his desired person.
In this way, Custom service will eliminate the need to transfer calls yourself.
Use the worksheet appears at the end of this manual when you specify these
parameters. If you have filled in the worksheet beforehand, the input operations
will go smoother and quicker.

These digits are commonly known as the Follow-on ID.
As a result, the caller who does not know the mailbox number of the
called extension can leave a message.
DTMF tone Integration
This integration works together with Automated Attendant service of
the VPS.
When activated, the PBX informs the VPS of the state of the call (busy,
answered, ringing, etc.) by sending a code with DTMF tone before
sending the normal call progress tone (busy tone, ringback tone, etc.).
These codes enable the VPS to immediately recognize the current state
of the call and improve its call handling performance.

Conditions

Each code must be set in System Programming according to the PBX codes.
If your PBX is a Panasonic KX-T series telephone system, the Inband
Integration codes will automatically default to the proper codes.

the Fax Managers extension and plays a voice
prompt, such as, You have one FAX message.
The VPS will also leave the number of received
fax calls in the Fax Managers mailbox.
If set to No, the VPS does not take any action
on successfully-received fax calls.

Description/Function
Specifies methods of integrating VPS with your
PBX.
1. None
Both PBX and VPS work independently. No
information is provided concerning the status
of the other system.
2. Inband
The PBX sends DTMF tone codes to the VPS
which indicate the state of the call (busy,
answered, disconnected, etc.). The Inband
integration enables the VPS to recognize the
call transfer status faster. The PBX codes that
indicate the status of calls must be defined. If
you have set the PBX type to a KX-T series
telephone system, these codes will automatically
default to proper codes.
This is available when the VPS works with one
of the following Panasonic KX-T series
telephone systems:
T 1232, T96, T336, TD816, TD1232
3. D-PITS
The VPS communicates with the PBX via
D-PITS interface. This is available when the
VPS works with one of the following Panasonic
KX-TD series telephone systems:
TD816, TD1232.

5.1

System Managers Function


As System Manager, you perform one of the most important
jobs. You are in charge of coordinating the VPS to ensure
that it operates efficiently and effectively. You can perform
a whole range of functions using any touch-tone telephone
anywhere in the world. These include daily maintenance,
the creation and editing of mailboxes in response to requests
from Subscribers, and the deletion of unneeded mailboxes
to prevent the systems storage capacity from being exceeded. In addition to the above, you will have to set up a
special password for yourself to prevent unauthorized access to System Manager commands. You will also have
your own mailbox number, set to either 99, 999 (default
value), 9999 or 99999 (these values can be changed),
through which Subscribers will be able to contact you.

Before starting system management


Use the Worksheets provided to record the information you
will need to manage the system. Just fill in the blanks with
the information requested. Once you have finished filling
out the Worksheets, you can use them as quick reference
cards to aid you in system management.

5-2

System Manager

5.2

Accessing the System Managers


Mailbox
Every job of the System Manager gets started by accessing
the System Managers mailbox. To access that mailbox,
you will need the following information beforehand.
System Managers Mailbox Number
It has been assigned as 99, 999, 9999 or 99999.
It depends upon the mailbox number length in System
Programming.
Password of the System Managers Mailbox
The VPS requests to enter the password if it has been
assigned. You are responsible for assigning by entering
the System Managers service.

To Access the System Managers Mailbox


1 Dial an extension number which is connected to the Voice
Call VPS

Mail service. If your VPS does not have one, call any
number and press [#] [6] (Service Access Command).
You will hear:
Please enter your partys mailbox number.
To enter by name, press [#] and [1].
If you are using a rotary telephone, stay on the line.

5.3

Setting up Mailboxes
Your primary duty as System Manager will be to create
mailboxes for new VPS Subscribers and to keep the system
organized by deleting unneeded passwords and mailboxes.
You will also have the task of the System Administrator.
All you need to carry out such a job is the mailbox number.

5.3.1 Creating and Editing a Mailbox


One of your jobs as System Manager is to create new mailboxes for established Subscribers and edit a mailbox for
new Subscribers instead of the System Administrator. This
allows established Subscribers to expand their systems and
forms the basis for new Subscribers systems. To create a
new mailbox, you will have to answer a number of prompts.
These enable or disable certain functions related with the
Subscribers mailbox. Make sure to record each of these
decisions for each mailbox on the Worksheets provided.

Message Managers Function


As Message Manager, you take care of the General Delivery
Mailbox, recording company greetings, and voice prompts
by accessing your mailbox with number 98, 998 (default
value), 9998 or 99998 (these values can be changed). You
will also be responsible for answering and attending to calls
that have been transferred by the VPS.
You will also transfer messages recorded in the General Delivery Mailbox to their destination mailboxes. When someone is calling from a rotary telephone, the VPS may guide
him to the General Delivery Mailbox and allow him to leave
his message there. You will then transfer the message from
the General Delivery Mailbox to the mailbox of the intended party, depending upon the contents of the message.
The VPS can have up to 32 company greetings for both
business and non-business hour greetings. Depending on
the companys working hours, you will record these greetings and select which one is to be delivered to each port of
the VPS.
As Message Manager, you can also modify prerecorded
prompts from the Automated Attendant and Voice Mail service. You can record your own prompts from your telephone at any time simply by specifying the prompt number
and stating the new one into your telephone.

Before starting message management


Use the Worksheets provided to record the information you
will need to do your tasks throughout the system. Just fill in
the blanks with the information requested. Once you have
finished filling out the Worksheets, you can use them as
quick reference cards to aid you in message management.

he wishes to be called and displays it on the LCD of your
beeper. The timing of the callback number entry is either
before, after or without recording message. It depends on
System Programming.

Customizing the Message


Managers Mailbox
As Message Manager, you can customize your mailbox by
specifying the password and the extension numbers of the
operators 1, 2 and 3.

6.5.1 Message Managers Password


You can specify your password from your telephone at any
time to protect the General Delivery Mailbox and company
greetings. The password can have up to 8 numeric characters and must be entered to execute the message management operation.

A caller who would like to have the help of the operator is
transferred to the extension specified by you. You can then
specify the extension which the caller will connect to when
he enters [0], the operator key.
Up to three operators (Operator 1, 2, 3) can be specified for
both Day and Night modes respectively.
It is usual to set your extension as Operator 1.

the System Administrator. It is important to set the exact
time since Message Waiting Notification, External Message
Delivery, redialing and rescheduling of External Message
Delivery or automatic message deletion are scheduled according to this setting.
The system automatically adjusts the time as appropriate
when daylight saving time begins and when it ends. See

menu message that provides the voiced names of departments to which the caller will be transferred by department
dialing.
