This chapter describes how to install Telephony Services for use with the 
DBS. The first part of this chapter describes installation of the API hardware 
and procedures for programming the DBS. The second part of the chapter 
describes how to install the Panadrvr Telephony Services NetWare Loadable 
Module (NLM) on the Novell Server.

• One VB-43941 Telephony Services Kit. This kit includes a Panasonic API 

Card, the API Serial Connector (two ports), and one 3 1/2” floppy disk 
containing the Panadrvr Telephony Services DBS Driver.

• DBS CPC-B or CPC-A II Version 7.1 or later.

• A Novell 3.12 or 4.X 486 (or greater) server containing at least 8 

megabytes of RAM and an available serial port of at least 9600 baud 
capacity (16550 UART required).

• One customized serial cable (provided). The RS232 limit of 50 feet should 

not be exceeded. 

The DBS communicates with the Novell server using a serial link. The VB-
43941 TSAPI circuit card and API Serial Connector board provide the serial 
connection on the DBS. A serial port is required on the Novell Server.

Note:  The Telephone System Installation procedures must be performed by 
the DBS Telephone Technician.

Install the API in the DBS as follows:

1.  Power off the DBS.

2.  Insert the API card in the DBS as shown in Figure 1. The SW1 Switch 

must be in the RAM HOLD (UP) position. Install the API card in either 
the AUX1 or AUX2 slot positions with single cabinet configurations or in 
the AUX1 slot position of the master cabinet with the dual cabinet 
configuration.
