General Description
iDCS 100, 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). iDCS 100 employs the very latest DSP technology (Digital Signal
Processors).
iDCS 100 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.
