1.2.3 PBX Configuration TypesOne-look Network ConfigurationMultiple KX-NS1000 PBXs can be connected together in a configuration called a One-look network. OneKX-NS1000 PBX serves as the Master unit, and other KX-NS1000 PBXs connect to the Master unit as Slaveunits. Slave unit PBXs receive settings and operation instructions from the Master unit PBX. With thisconfiguration, it is easy to make network-wide changes by performing programming at only one PBX.One-look Network Data TypesThe data that is set when programming a One-look network using Web Maintenance Console is divided intothree categories: global data, local data, and connection data. The kind of data being programmed affects howthe programming is performed.Data Type DescriptionGlobal Data Global data is related to the function of the PBX network as a whole. These settingsare unified network-wide, including extension and calling configurations.Local Data Local data is related to the settings and functions of each Slave unit PBX. Localdata includes UM configuration settings and network settings.ConnectionDataConnection data includes setting information for connecting the Master unit toSlave units in the One-look network.Details for Master units and Slave units are as follows:ConfigurationType DescriptionMaster Unit This is the central PBX of a One-look network of KX-NS1000 PBXs. All PBXs in aOne-look network can be programmed by logging in to the Master unit via WebMaintenance Console. Both the global settings (settings that apply to all PBXs)and local settings (settings that apply only to a single Slave unit PBX) of theOne-look network can be programmed in one session. Slave units can also beregistered to the Master unit and then configured from the Master unit.If the Master unit is set to out of service (OUS) for maintenance or due to a problem,the One-look network cannot be used until the Master unit is returned to in service(INS) status.NoteWhen a single KX-NS1000 is used in a stand-alone configuration or othernetworking configuration, for programming purposes it still must be set as theMaster unit.Slave Unit Slave units receive programming information from the Master unit for allsystem-wide functions, such as extension information and call handling. EachSlave unit also contains local data programming settings, but these local settingsare still specified using the Master unit. When you log in to a Slave unit, you mayview all global data settings, but only that Slave unit’s local data and connectiondata may be viewed. The only setting data that can be specified using a Slave unitis connection data.If a Slave unit is set to OUS, its resources cannot be used but otherwise theOne-look network will still function. The resources of the OUS Slave unit may beused again when it is returned to INS status.PC Programming Manual 311.2.3 PBX Configuration Types
