OVERVIEW
There are two programming interfaces you can use to program the DX-120:
• PC-DBA
• Digital Extension Telephone (DET) - see page 26.
PROGRAMMING VIA PC-DATABASE ADMINISTRATION
(PC-DBA)
The DX-120 system allows you to administer system database parameters using any IBM
®
compatible Personal
Computer (PC).
The use of a PC has distinct advantages over programming the system using the digital telephone, including:
• specific database archiving (via save function),
• remote programming, and
• outboard programming (programming the system template in the PC memory, then downloading it to the DX-120
switch memory when ready).
The PC program that interfaces with the DX-120 system is called PC-Database Administration (PC-DBA).
PC-DBA Requirements
PC-DBA requires the following resources in the PC environment:
• PC running Microsoft® Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP
• RAM: 64MB or greater.
• Processor Speed: 350 MHz or greater.
• Hard Disk Space: 4GB or greater.
IMPORTANT
You must have a well-rounded understanding of the Windows PC environment and
file structure to use this DX-120 utility.
Vertical Communications, Inc. cannot support
users who are unfamiliar with these basic requirements.
If any of these issues
concern you, program the DX-120 instead by using any DET phone.
Loading PC-DBA Software
When you download PC-DBA from the Vertical web site it is contained in an archived format to expedite the download.
Vertical recommends that you perform the following steps when downloading PC-DBA.
1) Create a separate directory on the PC where you can load PC-DBA (typically “DX-120”).
• This becomes the working directory.
2) Copy the archive file into that directory.
• An icon for the software will automatically be placed on your desktop. When you are ready to use PC-
DBA, you just need to double click on that icon to start the program.
