PERSONAL SPEED DIAL NUMBERS

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Your iDCS keyset is the most visible part of your telephone system. No matter what model keyset you are using telephone calls are handled the same
way. The 28D and 18D keysets have additional conveniences that are not
available to 8D keyset users. These are noted throughout this guide.
Please take the time to study this guide and to become familiar with the operation of your keyset. Keep this guide handy. You may need to look up instructions for infrequently used features.
Learning to use your keyset correctly will make everyday telephone communications a breeze.
This book is written based on the factory default settings for the feature
access codes. Sometimes, due to programming requirements, these codes
may be changed. If you find that a feature code does not work as described
in this book, please contact your installation and service company to determine the correct code.

........82–83

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Your outside calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets.
You never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold. They stay right
where you put them and are identified with a green flashing light.

USER ORIENTATION

Some simple rules to remember:

iDCS telephones are called “keysets.” They contain buttons or “keys” that
are used to access or activate the many features of your office phone system. The keys with paper designation strips are programmable keys. This
means they can be programmed for a specific function on your keyset and
that same button can be something different on another keyset. See the system manager to get your most frequently used features assigned to your
programmable keys. When changes are made, be sure that your programmable keys are relabeled properly.

•
•
•
•

Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are
referred to as “outside calls.” Your system can have individual C.O. line keys
or lines may be assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access
a line by dialing an access code or pressing a route button. For example, dial
9 or press a “LOCAL” key to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is
used, pressing the “LCR” key will automatically select a preprogrammed
C.O. line according to what digits are dialed. Each line in the system is numbered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific stations. You can press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A
DSS key lights red when that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).
iDCS keysets provide distinctive ring patterns:
•
•
•

Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.
Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring
tone repeated.

CALL INDICATIONS
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). These are tri-colored LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together).
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL buttons. They will always light green. You can have up to eight CALL buttons,
but at least two are recommended.

Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
A slow flashing green or red LED indicates a call is on hold.
A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.

SPEAKERPHONE
All iDCS keysets are speaker phones. Pressing the ANS/RLS key will answer
or release a call on the speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the
speakerphone is easy. Press the SPEAKER key and hang up the handset.

VOLUME CONTROLS
The iDCS keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the ringer volume
while the keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone is in
use and the handset volume while you are listening. These three levels will
be stored in memory until changed. If background music is turned on at your
keyset, the volume keys will also control the level of music. The volume of
pages heard through the speaker of a keyset can be adjusted during a page
announcement by using the volume keys. There are 16 levels for each volume setting. The volume of off-hook ring is controlled by a user-programmable setting.

TERMINAL STATUS INDICATOR
The terminal status indicator light is positioned on the top right corner of the
keyset above the display. The terminal status indicator is a tri-colored (red,
green, and amber) light that provides greater visibility of your keysets status
than the individual key LEDs. The terminal status indicator provides the following indications:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Busy/Off Hook
Intercom Ring
Outside Call Ring
Recall Ring
Message Waiting
Do Not Disturb

Steady Red
Flashing Red
Flashing Green
Flashing Amber
Flashing Red
Fast Flash Red at 1 Second Intervals

Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned. When an
individual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL button.

KEYSET DAUGHTER MODULES

ASSEMBLING YOUR KEYSET

[28 AND 18 BUTTON KEYSETS ONLY]
iDCS 28D and 18D button keysets can have one of three different types of
daughter module installed on them to enhance the operation of the keyset
or to provide an additional local port depending on the type of module.

•

Place the keyset face down on a flat surface.

•

Remove the base pedestal by placing your thumbs over the attachment
clips and press outward while simultaneously pressing down on the keyset body with your fingertips.

If your keyset is connected to a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port that supports
2B+D operation (your installing company can determine this) you may
install a daughter module that provides a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port for
connection of a digital station device such as a keyset or 64 button module.

•

Route the handset cord out the RIGHT side of the keyset as you look at
it face down.

•

If your keyset is connected to a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port that supports
2B+D operation (your installing company can determine this) you may
install a daughter module that provides a Single Line Interface (SLI) port for
connection of a standard telephone device such as a cordless phone.

iDCS KDB-FULL DUPLEX (FKDBF)
The standard speakerphone mode of operation for a iDCS keyset is “half
duplex”. This means that you cannot transmit and receive speech at the
same time. Adding a FKDBF to your keyset will convert the speakerphone
into full duplex mode enhancing its operation. In addition the FKDBF may
have up to three (3) external microphones attached to it for conference room
type applications. These microphones require an “EXTMIC” key programmed on the keyset to activate or deactivate them.

station, regardless of the status of your phone (on-hook, off-hook, handsfree, DND, or ringing).
To send a signal to another station:
•
•

Press the Manual Signalling (MS) key.
You may press the MS key repeatedly to send multiple signals to the
designated station.

NOTE: Your phone must have a Manual Signalling (MS) key with a station number extender assigned to it.

OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE
Keysets may receive a voice announcement while on another call. The calling station must have an OHVA key. When you are in DND, you cannot
receive OHVA calls. The OHVA feature will work with intercom and transferred calls.

When you receive an OHVA and secure OHVA is ON, you will hear the
announcement in the handset receiver, if you are using the handset. If
secure OHVA is OFF then you will hear the announcement on the speaker,
if you are talking on the handset. If you are using the speakerphone the
announcement will always be heard through the speaker.
To make an off-hook voice announcement:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Dial the extension number or press the DSS key.
When you receive a busy signal, press the OHVA key.
After the attention tone, begin speaking.
Finish the call by replacing the handset or pressing the ANS/RLS key.
Press the flashing CALL button on your keyset. This will place the original party on hold and allow you to talk to the announcing party.
To return to your first party, press the key corresponding to your original
call. This will disconnect the OHVA call.

NOTES:
1. When you are voice announcing to a station close to you, use the handset to avoid an echo effect.
2. You cannot off-hook voice announce to single line telephones.
If your keyset is associated with a DCS 32 Button Add-On Module, you can
receive Executive OHVA calls. Executive Off-Hook Voice Announce allows
you to engage in conversation on your keyset and simultaneously receive
and reply handsfree to an OHVA through your DCS 32 Button Add-On Module (AOM). Use caution because the conversation through the AOM may
possibly be heard by the caller on the keyset. When you receive an executive OHVA through your AOM:
•
•
•

Reply by speaking in the direction of the microphone in the AOM unit.
Adjust the volume with the VOLUME keys on the AOM unit.
Press the SPK key on the AOM to disconnect the announcing party.

NOTES:
1. Executive off-hook voice announce can only be accomplished when an
AOM is attached to your phone.
2. If the MUTE key on the AOM is lit, you must press the AOM’s SPK key
to answer the OHVA call.

OHVA BLOCK
Your keyset can be programmed with an OHVA Block (BLOCK) key. Pressing this key will prevent anyone from making an OHVA to you until you press
the button again and cancel the blocking.

OHVA REJECT
Your keyset can be programmed with an OHVA Reject (REJECT) key.
Pressing this key while receiving an OHVA call will disconnect the voice announcing party and return you to your original call.

IN GROUP/OUT OF GROUP
If your keyset is assigned to a station ring group, you can remove your keyset from the group and then put it back in. While you are out of the group,
you can receive calls to your extension number but not calls to the group
number. If you have an IN/OUT key:

CALLER ID

NO CID DSP

WHAT IS CALLER ID?
Caller ID is the name given to the telephone company-provided feature that
delivers the telephone number and sometimes the name of the person calling your phone. There are two types of Caller ID; the first delivers the calling
party’s telephone number only and the second (sometimes referred to as
“Deluxe” Caller ID) delivers both the calling party’s telephone number and
name as listed in the telephone directory.
The phone system can handle both types of Caller ID; in fact, in the case of
number only delivery, the system can be programmed to insert a name for
a specific telephone number. However, even though you are paying to
receive Caller ID information, there are some circumstances that mean you
will not receive this information. The six most common reasons are listed
below along with the display information that the system will provide.
PRIVATE

OUT OF AREA

PAYPHONE

The caller does not wish his/her name or number to be
revealed to you. This type of call can be stopped at the
telephone company by dialing an access code on your
outside lines. This will redirect these PRIVATE calls to
an announcement that states that you do not wish to receive calls that have had Caller ID blocked. The code to
block these calls can usually be found in the front section of the telephone directory.
The caller is calling from an area that cannot provide
Caller ID information (for example, international calls) or
he/she is calling from a type of circuit that cannot provide Caller ID information, for example, some outbound
WATS lines.
The caller is calling from a coin-operated telephone.
The telephone company will send this information as
there are no directory listings for pay phones. The number will be delivered as usual.

INVALID CID INFO This is a message that will be displayed when CID information is sent on the line but was somehow corrupted.
NO CID RECEIVED This is a message that will be displayed when there was
no CID information sent on the line.

Caller ID Digital Signal Processors (CIDDSP’s) are
resources in the iDCS system required for receiving CID
data. If there are no CIDDSP’s available at the time a
call comes in, this is the message you will see on your
display.

NOTE: The Caller ID features require optional software and/or hardware.
Please see your service and installation company for details.

WHAT IS ANI?
ANI (Automatic Number Identification) is a feature offered by some telephone service providers that provides the calling party’s telephone number.
This service is only available on E&M Tie Lines on a T1, digital trunk. ANI is
similar to Caller Identification (CID) but the format and information of the
calling person is different. CID uses FSK signalling and ANI uses DTMF signalling. Usually, with ANI, a calling party’s identity is the Listed Directory
Number (LDN) unless a separate bill-to-number has been specified, (in
which case the bill-to-number will be sent). Note that ANI does not provide
calling party NAME, only the number. The phone system can provide calling
number to name translation table.

WHAT IS CLI?
On ISDN circuits, calling party information is called CLI and is supported on
both BRI and PRI type circuits on the iDCS. On BRI circuits the iDCS only
supports number delivery and, like ANI, a name can be attached to the telephone number of frequent callers via the Caller ID translation table. On
5ESS and NI2 PRI circuits both name and number support is provided on
the iDCS system. On a DMS100 circuit only number service is provided.

SELECTING YOUR CALLER ID
DISPLAY
You can decide if you want to see the Caller ID name or Caller ID number in
the display. Regardless of which one is selected, you can press the NND
key to view the other pieces of Caller ID information. To select the type of
Caller ID information you wish to view first:
•
•
•
•

With the handset on-hook, press TRANSFER and then dial 119.
Dial 0 for CID options, 1 for ANI options, or 2 for CLI options.
Dial 0 if you do not wish to view CID information, 1 to view the NUMBER
first or 2 to view the NAME first.
Press TRANSFER to exit and store your selection.

VIEWING THE NEXT CALLER ID CALL

INQUIRE CALLER ID PARK/HOLD INFO

In the event that you have a call waiting or a camped-on call at your keyset,
you can press the NEXT key to display the Caller ID information associated
with the call in queue at your keyset. Either the CID name or CID number will
show in the display depending on your Name/Number selection.

If you are informed that an incoming call is on hold or has been parked for
you, you may view the Caller ID information before you retrieve the call. This
may influence how you choose to handle the call.

To view Caller ID information for calls that have been camped-on to your
keyset, press the NEXT key. If your keyset does not have a NEXT key, press
the CID key and then the NEXT soft key.

SAVING THE CALLER ID NUMBER
At any time during an incoming call that provides CID information, you may
press the SAVE key to save the CID number. If your keyset does not have a
SAVE key, press the CID key, the SCROLL key and then the SAVE soft key.
The system must be using LCR to dial the saved number.
