Samsung DCS KEYSET manual Call Indications

Samsung DCS Keyset User Guide

Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are referred to as “outside calls.” Your system can have individ- ual C.O. line keys—called Direct Trunk Selection (DTS) keys—or lines may be assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you ac- cess a line by dialling an access code or pressing a route key. For ex- ample, you might dial ‘9’ or ‘0’ or press the LOCAL key to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is used, pressing the LCR key will automatically select a pre-programmed C.O. line according to what digits are dialled. Each line in the system is numbered beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.

Note: 408/408i systems have 2-digit line numbers 71–74.

Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific extensions. You can press a DSS key instead of dialling the extension number. A DSS key will light red when that extension is busy (this is called a Busy Lamp Indication).

DCS provides distinctive ring patterns to your keyset. Ring patterns vary depending on the country in which you reside. For example, in the UK:

•Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.

•Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.

•Doorphone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a short ring tone repeated very quickly.

Call Indications

The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some of these are tri-coloured LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together). Some of the keys can only light red. See the relevant keyset layout diagram (below) for a description of the keyset you are using.
