System Features

Automatic Route Selection
A Digital Super Hybrid System can help reduce long distance
costs by automatically routing outgoing calls to the most cost-
efficient long distance carrier within your network. The system
makes the selection based on pre-programmed time-of-day,
day-of-week, and call destination tables.
Back-Up Operator
When the operator or other staff is unable to answer an
incoming call, the optional KX-TD191 DISA card can be used
to provide an outgoing message after a designated number
of rings (3 to 12). With the back-up operator your calls will
always be answered in a timely manner.
Caller ID Compatibility
Displays the incoming caller's phone number, or name and
number, when used with a Panasonic system display phone.
In addition, the system can automatically match a caller's
number with another previously stored name, and display
that name on the LCD. Up to 500 names can be stored.
Call Forwarding Versatility
Incoming, intercom and transferred calls to your extension
can be forwarded when you are on the phone or away from
your desk. Calls can be directed to your mailbox, to another
phone, even forwarded outside your office building – to reach
you almost anywhere in the world, 24-hours a day, 7-days a
week. "Follow-me" programming allows you to remotely set
Call Forwarding from another phone within your organization,
so calls to your extension will reach you while you roam.
CTI (Computer Telephony Integration)
The KX-TD1232 and the KX-TD816 systems conform to the
CTI TAPI 2.1 standard, which permits software developers to
integrate to TAPI 2.1 compliant software applications.
Doorphone & Door Opener
Add security to your facility with the optional Doorphone/Door
Opener Adapter Card. With this option installed, our Digital
Super Hybrid Telephone Systems can interface with up to 4
door intercoms and can control up to four electronic door
contact closures. If you have more than one door intercom,
you can assign each one a unique ringing pattern to help you
distinguish which one was pressed. You can also use these
adapter cards to open a door from the telephone, provided
the door is equipped with an electric latch.
Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
With the optional KX-TD191 DISA card, the KX-TD1232 sys-
tem will provide a simplified "auto attendant" feature with up
to 64 seconds of outgoing message time. After dialing into the
system, the caller obtains single-digit access to extensions,
phantom extensions or ring groups any time during or after the
message. Additionally, callers can be required to dial a security
code to access extensions or the system's outside lines.
Distinctive Ring
You can program up to eight different ringtones for the digital
phones, giving phones in different areas or departments a
distinctive ring.
Direct Inward Dial (DID)
Panasonic Digital Super Hybrid Systems can be connected
to Direct Inward Dial (DID) CO lines provided by the tele-
phone company with the addition of an optional KX-TD185
expansion module. With DID service, calls from outside the
company will be directed to a specific extension, alleviating
the need for an operator or attendant.
ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
The KX-TD1232 can be equipped with an optional KX-TD290
ISDN Primary Rate Interface module that allows you to con-
nect to ISDN PRI service provided by the telephone company,
and the cost benefits are similar to that of a T1 line. However,
ISDN PRI supports more features and provides an improved
level of line control through its dedicated data channel.
T1 Interface
The KX-TD1232 can be equipped with an optional
1
KX-TD187 T1 module, which allows you to connect the system
to the telephone company's digital T1 trunk service. A T1 line
electronically combines 24 communication channels into one
single pair of wires, eliminating the need to run separate lines
making it a very cost effective way to connect the KX-TD1232
system to the network.
Message Waiting Unit
With the addition of a KX-TD194 message waiting unit,
message waiting lamps on single-line telephones that are
connected to the system will illuminate when new messages
are received.
Day/Lunch/Break/Night Service
The Super Hybrid systems have 4 modes, Day, Lunch, Break
and Night that allow you to route calls based on the time of
day. For example, at night incoming calls can be routed to
Voice Mail and during the day incoming calls can be routed
to designated telephones. At 12 noon to 1pm the system will
route callers to a different set of extensions or voice mail so
calls are handled while employees are at lunch.
PC-Based Programming
Panasonic dealers can program the KX-TD1232 and
KX-TD816 via a PC. Programming data can then be stored on
disk for future system back ups. PC programming software
is available to Certified Dealers only.
Phantom Extensions
For added call-routing flexibility, you can assign one extension
number to several phones. All phones will then ring simultane-
ously when this extension is dialed.
SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording)
By connecting a serial printer to the system, or by attaching
a call accounting system, you can obtain a record of calls.
Know who called where, when and for how long. Account
codes may be assigned to keep track of costs to be billed to
clients, employees, projects or departments.
Toll Restriction
The Digital Super Hybrid systems can be programmed to
prohibit unauthorized outgoing long distance calls by pre-
venting certain extensions from accessing specified area
codes/exchange codes.
Trunk Answer From Any Station
Sends ringing outside calls through the external paging
system, allowing CO calls to be answered from any station
in the system.
