3.1 Introduction186 Feature Guide3.1 Introduction3.1.1 IntroductionThese programming instructions are designed to serve as an overall system programming reference for thePanasonic Advanced Hybrid System. The PBX has default settings that can be changed to meet yourneeds. These settings control the manner in which the PBX features described in this Feature Guidefunction, and changing these settings is referred to as "system programming". System programming can beperformed by only one person at a time. A second person attempting to programme the system will bedenied access to system programming.Ways to ProgrammeThere are 2 programming methods:• PC ProgrammingPC programming is described in Section 3.2 PC Programming.• PT (Proprietary Telephone) ProgrammingPT programming is described in Section 3.3 PT Programming. An authorised administrator or themanager can perform system programming by entering 3-digit programming numbers with a PT.Password SecurityTo maintain system security, a password is required to perform system programming. When KX-TEMaintenance Console is started for the first time, the Quick Setup utility will ask you to set the systempassword. To avoid unauthorised access and possible fraudulent dialling, do not disclose the password.Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password1. Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers if itbecomes known to others.2. To avoid unauthorised access and possible fraudulent dialling, maintain the secrecy of thepassword.3. We strongly recommend that you change the default password value to something else for reasonsof system security. It is best to use a password of 7 digits.4. Please change the password periodically.5. If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into aPC, and checking the password using the KX-TE Maintenance Console software. If you do nothave a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogrammeit. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For moreinformation on how to back up the system data, refer to the on-line help that appears by selectingthe Help menu during PC programming. However, as system passwords can be extracted frombackup copies of the system data file, do not allow unauthorised access to these files.NoteThis PBX has only one system password. It can be changed by either PT programming or PCprogramming. For this reason, the password can consist of numerals only.
