2.3 System Data Control
2.3.1 PC Programming
Description
Although many PBX features can be programmed using a proprietary telephone (PT) (→ 2.3.2 PT
Programming), a PC connected to the PBX can use the KX-TDA Maintenance Console software to program
in further detail. System programming, diagnosis, and data upload/download can be performed either
through on-site programming or remote programming.
1) On-site Programming: Programming that is performed using an on-site PC connected directly to
the PBX.
2) Remote Programming: Programming that is performed using an off-site PC that connects to the
PBX via a CO line.
