4.1.1 Why DPT Integration is Important

The VPS works well with most PBXs because its connections are made through a standard single line (tip/ring) telephone interface. However, the communication between the PBX and VPS is best when DPT Integration is used; the VPS is already set up to communicate through DPT Integration.

Once DPT Integration is established, the PBX sends information to the VPS through the data link. This information enables the VPS to identify the extension that is calling, know where from and why a call is forwarded, and recognise what the caller wants to do. This communication allows features that are only available with DPT Integration— several of which are described below:
