ABOUT THIS BOOK  
Your keyset is the most visible part of the iDCS 500 Digital Communications  
System. No matter what model keyset you are using, with or without a dis-  
play, telephone calls are handled in the same way. The LCD 12B and LCD  
24B keysets have a few additional conveniences that are not available to  
STD 24B, Basic 12B and 7B keyset users. These are noted throughout this  
guide.

Please take the time to study this guide and to become familiar with the op-  
eration of your keyset. Keep this guide handy. You may need to look up in-  
structions for infrequently used features.  
Learning to use your keyset correctly will make everyday telephone commu-  
nications 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 deter-  
mine the correct code.

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.  
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 if the key  
has a tri-colored LED.  
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW  
USER ORIENTATION  
DCS telephones are called “keysets.” They contain buttons or “keys” that  
are used to access or activate the many features of your office phone sys-  
tem. 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 sys-  
tem manager to get your most frequently used features assigned to your  
programmable keys. When changes are made, be sure that your program-  
mable keys are relabeled properly.  
Some simple rules to remember:  
• 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.  
• A steady red LED on the HOLD key indicates the keyset is locked.  
• A steady red LED on the TRSF key indicates the keyset is Forward All.  
• A steady red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in Headset  
mode.  
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 the 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.  
• A flashing red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in DND  
mode.  
SPEAKERPHONE  
Pressing the ANS/RLS or the MONITOR key will answer or release a call on  
the speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the speakerphone is easy.  
Press the SPK key and hang up the handset.  
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific sta-  
tions. 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).  
NOTE: The 7B phone is not a speaker phone. If you are using a 7B phone,  
you must lift the handset in order to speak to the other party.  
iDCS 500 provides distinctive ring patterns to your keyset:  
VOLUME CONTROLS  
• 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.  
DCS keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the ringer volume while  
the keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone or moni-  
tor speaker 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 adjust-  
ed during a page announcement by using the volume keys. There are 16 lev-  
els for each volume setting. The volume of off-hook ring is controlled by a  
user-programmable setting.  
CALL INDICATIONS  
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some of these  
are tri-colored LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together).  
Some of the keys can only light red.  
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL but-  
tons. They will always light green. You can have up to eight CALL buttons,  
but at least two are recommended.

When you receive an off-hook voice announcement, if you are using the  
handset, you will hear the announcement over the handset receiver. If you  
are using the speakerphone, you will hear the announcement over the key-  
set speaker. In both cases, you can continue to speak to the original party.  
IN GROUP/OUT OF GROUP  
If your keyset is assigned to a station ring group, you can remove your key-  
set 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:  
Press the flashing CALL button on your keyset. This will place the origi-  
nal party on hold and allow you to talk to the announcing party.

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 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:  
If you do not have an IN/OUT key:  
Dial the IN/OUT access code number __________ plus 0 to exit the group  
or 1 to enter the group.  
Reply by speaking in the direction of the microphone in the AOM unit.  
Adjust the volume with the VOL keys on the AOM unit.  
Press the SPK or the MONITOR key on the AOM to disconnect the an-  
nouncing party.  
NOTE: If the Hot Keypad feature has been turned off, you must first lift the  
handset or press SPK or the MONITOR key.  
The IN/OUT key can include an extender to indicate the specific group that  
this key will affect. This means that if you are in multiple groups, you can de-  
cide for which groups you will receive calls.  
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 AOMs SPK key to  
answer the OHVA call.  
OHVA BLOCK  
Your keyset can be programmed with an OHVA Block (BLOCK) key. Press-  
ing 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. Press-

NO CID DSP  
Caller ID Digital Signal Processors (CIDDSPs) are re-  
sources in the DCS 400si required for receiving CID  
data. If there are no CIDDSPs available at the time a  
call comes in, this is the message you will see on your  
display.  
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 call-  
ing your phone. There are two types of Caller ID; the first delivers the calling  
partys telephone number only and the second (sometimes referred to as  
DeluxeCaller ID) delivers both the calling partys telephone number and  
name as listed in the telephone directory.  
NOTE: The Caller ID features require optional software and/or hardware.  
Please see your service and installation company for details.  
The iDCS 500 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 (up to a maximum of 1500 numbers).  
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 informa-  
tion that the iDCS 500 will provide.  
WHAT IS ANI?  
ANI (Automatic Number Identification) is a feature offered by some tele-  
phone service providers that provides the calling partys 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 sig-  
nalling. Usually, with ANI, a calling partys 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). Along with the ANI digits you  
also receive DNIS digits with a separator digit. The DNIS digits are used to  
tell the DCS 400si where to route the call. Note that ANI does not provide  
calling party NAME, only the number. The DCS 400si can provide calling  
number to name translation table.  
PRIVATE  
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.  
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 500. On BRI circuits the iDCS  
500 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 pro-  
vided on the iDCS 500 system. On a DMS100 circuit only number service is  
provided.  
OUT OF AREA  
PAYPHONE  
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 out-  
bound WATS lines.  
The caller is calling from a coin-operated telephone.  
The telephone company will send this information as

bination of feature keys. The 32 button does not support executive off-hook  
voice announce (OHVA) and does not have a microphone. A maximum of  
four 32 button modules can be assigned to any keyset.

added to your keyset. The 64 red LEDs provide visual indication of calls and  
features. The extra programmable keys are used exactly like the ones on  
your keyset. Make them DSS/BLF keys or feature keys. As a DSS/BLF the  
size of the 64 button module allows for greater call status and faster call pro-  
cessing. The 64 button module does not support executive off-hook voice  
announce (OHVA) and does not have a microphone. A maximum of four 64
