System Overview
Introduction
DCS-408 Digital Communication System is a digital telephone system designed for a small
-sized business. The system employs the very latest Digital Signal Processors (DSP)
technology.
DCS-408 is easy to install and maintain, convenient to use and provides a variety of
features. Two types of telephones can be connected to the system: proprietary digital
phones called “Keysets” connect to digital line interface (DLI) ports; standard telephone
sets, generally called “single line telephones,” connect to single line interface (SLI) ports.
In addition, DLI station ports are used to connect peripheral devices such as door phone
interface modules (DPIMs). Miscellaneous circuits are provided to allow such optional
features as music on hold, background music, general-purpose dry contact, and common
bell.
