Introduction To System
Programming
The iDCS 100 system arrives from the factory with default data.
Connect it to trunks, stations and power.
Turn the system on and it is fully operational.
The only thing left to do is customize the data to fit the customer’s needs. This is called programming
the system.
MMC stands for Man Machine Communication and each program is assigned a different three digit
code(e.g. 100). These MMC codes are used to view, create or change customer data. Programming is
simply deciding what needs to be done and knowing which MMC is used to do it. For example: use
MMC 601 to designate a station group; enter system speed dial numbers in MMC 705.
Programming Levels
There are three levels of programming: System, Customer and Station.
System and Customer are under passcode protection while Station programming does not require a
passcode.
To prevent conflicting data from being entered, only one person at a time can enter programming code
with the passcode for technician or customer. While programming is in progress, normal system
operation is not affected. For your convenience, the system displays [xxx PGM MODE] when another
keyset is in the program mode.
System Level
This level is entered via MMC 800 and requires the technician’s passcode. It allows access to all
system programs, station programs and maintenance programs.
Customer Level
This level is entered via MMC 200 and requires the customer’s passcode. It allows access to station
programs and system programs permitted by the technician in MMC 802. When using the customer’s
passcode to access station programs, data for all stations can be viewed or changed.
After opening programming with the customer’s passcode, you must press TRSF key to exit. Then
press TRSF key followed by the MMC number you wish to access.
Station Level
All keysets can access station programs 102~119 without using a passcode.
Each user can only change station data for his/her own keyset.
The iDCS 100 also allows the use of a proprietary computer program called SAPM-PCMMC. This
permits a technician to program the system using a personal computer. SAPM-PCMMC can be used
on-site to modify the customer database or to download (save) the entire customer database to a file.
This file can then be saved as a backup and be uploaded when required to restore the database.
Through the use of SIO, SAPM-PCMMC can access the iDCS 100 system remotely (off-site) to make
database changes or perform uploads or downloads of the customer database as if the technician were
on-site.
