| UNIT 4: PROGRAMMING - LESSON 3: SYSTEM PROGRAMMING BY PC Configuration Menu Read pages 234 through 258 in the KX-TAW848 Features Manual Configuration- Extension Port The first menu in the Maintenance Console is the Configuration Menu. It provides various information and status of the systems cards, extensions and CO line ports. The Configuration Menu is used to preinstall cards, register Portable Stations, to set various options related to the installed cards, and to place extension and CO lines in and out of service. The most common reason you would have to put an extension port out of service is to change its Telephone Type. The Telephone Type determines what device will be used on a specific extension port. By default, each extension port is set to Normal allowing an Analog Proprietary Telephone (APT) to be connected. If a DSS Console or a Panasonic Processing System or Voice Mail port is needed, the Terminal Type must be changed. It is important to note that before the port type can be changed, it must be taken out of service. The follow movie shows how to change port 4 on the preinstalled HLC4 card to accept a DSS Console. Click here to see how to change port 4 on the preinstalled HLC4 card to accept a DSS Console To complete the installation, the DSS Console must be connected to the extension port and then paired with a proprietary telephone using the Extension – DSS Console Menu. This tells the system what extension will be used in conjunction with the DSS Console and allows the DSS Keys to be programmed on the Console. Once complete, the DSS Console will be fully operational. Configuration-Slot The Configuration Menu can also be used to install and remove Optional Service Cards. When cards are added to the Main Unit, they are automatically configured and put in service. However if a card is removed or relocated within the Main Unit, it may be necessary to reassign the slot for use with another card type. The following example shows how to remove a KX-TAW84874 (SLC8) from slot 5 and replace it with a KX-TAW84875 (PLC8). Click here to see how to reassign Slot 5 for use with another card Now the system is ready to have a KX-TAW84875 (PLC8) installed where the KX-TAW84874 (SLC8) was previously by inserting the PLC8 into slot 5 and power up the Main Unit.
