Configure the Panasonic KXTDE / NSXXX link

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The DV2000/DV4 does not have a dedicated hospitality link with a Panasonic KXTDE / NSXXX PBX, but can perform some functions via TAPI.  This link uses the protocol and features listed in the table below:

 

Link Type

Protocol Used

Log File Prefix

Features Supported

TAPI

Panasonic TAPI

IPOSRVR

Name change, Set user rights group (phone COS)

 

Configure the Link

Hospitality functions are carried out over the same TAPI link to the Panasonic PBX as is used for call processing.  To verify that the TAPI service is enabled, follow these steps:

 

1.  Using Activity Monitor, stop the voice mail service.

 

MSC0108

 

2.  Run the System Configuration application and select Integrations | TAPI Integration.

 

SYS0006

 

3. Verify that the TAPI Provider setting is set to Panasonic KX-TDA (this will work for KX-TDE switches as well). The other settings on this dialog are only relevant for the Avaya IP Office and can be ignored.

 

MSC0167

 

4. Click OK to save the setting and close the dialog.  If the provider was already set to Panasonic KX-TDA, you can click Cancel to close the dialog without changing anything.
5. Continue to the next section to configure the hospitality settings.

 

Configure the Hospitality Phone Control Settings

After you have configured the connector settings for the ShoreTel link, you need to configure the hospitality service to use the ShoreTel connector and you also need to configure the phone control settings.

 

To do so, follow these steps:

 

1. Select Features | Hospitality.
2. If prompted, select the PMS instance (as shown below). This dialog is only displayed if you are licensed for more than one PMS instance. Otherwise, skip to step 3.

 

SYS0076

 

3.  Select the Phone Control property page.

4.  In the PBX section, use the Type drop-down list box to select Panasonic.

 

MSC0168a

 

5. If you are not using Hansen CASH or Metropolis call accounting, skip to step 6.  If you are, use the Type drop-down list box in the Call accounting section to select the call accounting software.  Then use the Enabled and Disabled boxes to select the appropriate COS (or call restriction level) to send to the PBX when the call accounting software signals that the room phone should be enabled or disabled.

 

MSC0168b

 

6. In the Auto-set phone stat on section:  If your PMS sends messages to the VMS to change the phone COS, or if you enabled the call accounting settings in step 5, make sure both check boxes are unchecked.  However, if you aren't using call accounting and your PMS protocol does not offer a message command for setting the phone COS, you may wish to enable both options and use the associated drop-down list boxes to select which phone COS (or restriction level) to send to the PBX when the room is checked in and when it is checked out.  The --no change-- option acts the same as unchecking the check boxes.

 

MSC0168c

 

7. In the User group restrictions section:  When you selected Panasonic in step 4, above, the system automatically reset the entries in this table to default values.  You may need to change the PBX values to match the appropriate classes of service as defined on your PBX.  You will also need to enter the correct matching values for your PMS in the PMS Value column.  To enter a PMS value, click in the box under the PMS Value heading for the row that has the matching PBX value.  Then enter the value exactly as the PMS will send it (typically, this will be a single digit number).  Repeat for each PMS value. Each PMS value must be entered in the table only once; it is not necessary to enter a PMS value for every PBX value.  You can change the Display Text as well if you wish; this is what will be displayed in InnDesk.

8.  Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

9.  Once you are finished with all configuration changes, close System Configuration.

10.  Using Activity Monitor, restart the voice mail service.
