System Menu
Read pages 259 through 324 in the KX-TAW848 Features Manual
The next menu within the Maintenance Console Software is the System Menu. The System Menu is used to set a variety of system parameters including the date and time, operator parameters, system timers and Class of Service settings. It is not possible to cover all the System Menu’s within this Study Guide so we will concentrate on the items most frequently used. For more detailed information please see Section 4.2 of the KX-TAW848 Features Manual.
Date & Time/Daylight Saving
The systems initial date and time is set when you first connect with the KX-TAW848 and execute the Quick Setup. But if for some reason the time and date needs to be adjusted, this can be done by entering the System - Date & Time programming screen and typing in the correct date and time, or by using the directional arrows. Note that the time must be entered using 24 hour time. For example, 1 pm would be entered as 13.
Daylight Savings options can also be adjusted. The default system setting for Daylight Savings is that this function is enabled and pre-programmed dates have been enter through the year 2022. If you are in an area that does not follow daylight savings, this automatic time adjust function can be disabled.
PBX Operator
The PBX Operator settings are also set during Quick Setup. But if changes need to be made to the Day, Lunch, Break, or Night PBX Operator settings, it can be done in the PBX Operator programming screen.
Class of Service
Class of Service (COS) settings are used to define the features allowed for a group of extensions instead of having to program each extension individually. Each extension, doorphone port, Incoming Call Distribution group, and CO Trunk Group has a COS assigned. A maximum of 64 COS’s are available on the KX-TAW848. Certain features can be programmed to behave differently depending on the COS assigned to the device or group.
