Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT)
The Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) is a personal computer (PC) that is used for
programming and maintenance of the NEAX 2000 IPS
system. The MAT can provide a Maintenance
Printout, Peg Count information and fault message output. Additionally, the MAT can be used to
Remove and Restore to service any station in the system and can read or save system data from
disks. The MAT can assign the Key Data for the Attendant Console. The MAT requires an IBM or
compatible PC running Microsoft Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP and MATWorX.
MATWorX is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program that provides an efficient method for
manipulating the PBX database. This program contains extensive help files, Usage Wizards and Tool
Tips, with hyperlinks imbedded in the text. The hyperlinks provide quick access to the appropriate
Add-In modules. Add-In modules provide a user-friendly, intuitive method for customizing the PBX
database.
MATWorX add-ins makes it easy for you to add or remove PBX features at any time. Add-ins are
modular components that let you program specific features such as Caller ID, Station Assignments,
Day/Night Modes, and Line Key Assignments.
Because add-ins are modular, you can add, remove, and upgrade them individually from within
MATWorX. Add-ins let you modify your PBX's features without having to upgrade the MATWorX
application itself. MATWorX also gives you a convenient way to launch other commonly used
applications, such as Microsoft Word or Excel, directly from its Toolbar.
Connecting to a PBX
There are three ways to connect your PC to an NEC PBX:
 Use a modem to establish a dial-up connection.
 Use a serial cable to establish a direct connection.
 Use TCP/IP over your Local Area Network (LAN), Requires DeviceServerWork (DSW)
The method you use depends on how you installed and configured the device to which you want to
connect. A serial cable direct connection offers better performance than a modem connection, but
requires that the PC and device be within 50 feet of each other. A TCP/IP connection offers
excellent performance and flexibility but requires a network connection to both your PC and the
device.
