How do I install DTP on a Panasonic KXTD?

[Belinda Frick]

Overview:

If you are currently using PABX3, and want to replace it with DTP,
remember to:
Close PABX3 (either PABX3 or DTP must be used)
Remove PABX3 from the startup.

Installation:

Install the TSP for Panasonic KXTDA:

You will find this on the 1.6.0.0 Topaz CD under UTILS -> tspinst172.exe

Or on the Internet:
[www.datatex.co.za-> Member Area -> Login -> 3rd-Party ->
Panasonic -> Panasonic TSP -> KXTD TSP]

Click on [START -> SETTINGS -> CONTROL PANEL -> PHONE AND MODEM OPTIONS]
Under the ADVANCED tab the Panasonic KX-TD TSP will be shown,
double-click on it.
Enter the COM port number.
Do not tick "validate".
You might have to restart the computer to save this setting.

To test if the TSP is working, run the Monitor program from
the EXTRAS folder on the Topaz CD. Press the build button and
click on OK on the message boxes that pops up. If your TSP is
functioning correctly a list of all the extensions and lines
should appear in the window at the top of the screen. Now you
can proceed. If it isn't working, the incorrect port might be
selected or another program might have the comport open, for
instance the PABX3. Try to reboot the computer, wait 1 minute
and try the monitor test again.

Install DTP:

On the TOPAZ CD -> DTP you will find a self-extractable file called
eml-dtp-install-1_2_8_4.exe .

Before August 2003:
Use the internet version instead of the one on the
1.6.0.0 Topaz CD. Download this from the internet
www.datatex.co.za-> Support->Login -> Emerald->
Datatex Tapi Interface for Panasonic
For new installation use Emerald.DTP.Install-1.1.2.exe
This will extract the DTP in the directory
"C:\Program Files\Datatex\Emerald"

For update use Emerald.DTP.Update-1.1.2.exe
This will extract the DTP in the directory
"C:\Program Files\Datatex\Emerald"

After August 2003:
On the Topaz CD released in August 2003 the
Emerald.DTP.Update-1.2.0.47.exe
Emerald.DTP.Install-1.2.0.47.exe will extract
the DTP in the directory "C:\Program Files\Datatex\DTP"

Upgrading:
If you run the upgrade and it does not ask to replace
the file, then you are running an older version of DTP.
The older versions of DTP was installed in the
C:\Program Files\Datatex\tapi folder. The .ini file
was also created in the TAPI folder. The .pip file
path is set in TOPAZ in SETUP > PROPERTIES >PABX,
normally C:\Program Files\Datatex\tapi\pabx.pip
and matches the file path in DTP.

To use the new setting for future upgrades:
Move all the files except the dtp.exe
( since it is already installed in
the Emerald folder (Emerald.DTP.Update-1.1.2.exe) or
DTP folder (Emerald.DTP.Update-1.2.0.47.exe) )
to the Emerald or DTP folder.
Change the .pip file path in TOPAZ and DTP to
"C:\Program Files\Datatex\Emerald\pabx.pip".
Ensure that the shortcut points to the correct
folder.

Port:
To check if correct port was used:
Right click on the icon, choose configuration
Make sure:
Network enable is ticked
and the port
and host is correct.
