Things You Should Know

Your DCS Keyphone System

There are a number of different Samsung keyphone systems each designated with the prefix ‘DCS.’ The original system is called sim- ply the ‘DCS.’ Other systems are designated DCS Compact II, DCS- 816, DCS-408 and DCS-408i. For simplicity, this guide uses the des- ignations ‘DCS,’ ‘Compact II,’ ‘816,’ ‘408’ and ‘408i’ when refer- ring to individual systems.

Your keyset is connected to one of these systems, and you should be aware of which one it is in order to follow the instructions in this user guide correctly. Some features described here, for example, may not work on your system. Also, some feature codes you need to select to operate a feature may differ from system to system. (See System Ac- cess Codes, below.)

Your DCS Keyset

DCS telephones are called “keyphones” or “keysets.” They have but- tons or “keys” that are used to access or activate features on your of- fice phone system. They also have LCDs for displaying call informa- tion, feature menus, and so on.

The keys with paper designation strips are programmable keys. This means a key can be programmed for a specific function on your key- set, and the same key can be something different on another keyset. There may be 6, 12 or 24 programmable keys on your keyset. To see the layout for your keyset, refer to the appropriate layout diagram at the end of this section. Ask the system administrator to get your most frequently-used features assigned to your programmable keys and make sure that these keys are labelled properly.
