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:
ƒ Use a modem to establish a dial-up connection.
ƒ Use a serial cable to establish a direct connection.
ƒ 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.
PBX Configuration Wizard
The PBX Configuration Wizard is a custom tool in MATWorX that enables you to establish the
proper communication settings between your computer and the NEAX2000 IPS. The Wizard
asks you simple questions and then uses the information to automatically configure the
connection for the PC and the PBX.
