CHAPTER 1 System Overview
1.1 Introduction
DCS Compact II, Digital Communication System, is a digital telephone system
designed for small to medium–sized businesses. It can operate with the
functionality of a square key system, PABX or a combination of both (hybrid).
DCS Compact II employs the very latest DSP technology (Digital Signal
Processors).
DCS Compact II offers a variety of interface cards that allow connection to the
public telephone network or private networks. These are generally referred to as
trunk cards. Two types of telephones can be connected to the systems. Proprietary
digital phones called "Keysets" connect to digital line interface cards (DLI).
Standard telephone sets generally called "single line telephones" connect to single
line interface cards (SLI). In addition, DLI station ports are used to connect
peripheral devices such as door phones and add–on modules. Miscellaneous
circuits are provided to allow such optional features as external paging, music on
hold, background music, common audible devices, alarms and emergency power
failure telephones.
All DCS keysets utilize a single PCB with surface–mounted components assuring
the highest product quality and long life. Samsung's customary large, easy–to–
read displays and LEDs in the button design make them much easier to use. In
many instances, sophisticated features are made simple through the use of
friendly display prompts or push–on/push–off feature keys.
