THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

YOUR iDCS500 SYSTEM

DCS telephones are called “keyphones” or “keysets.” Your iDCS500 system
offers many automatic and programmable features to your keyset which you
need to become familiar with. Read this section carefully to provide yourself
with a good understanding of how your keyset operates.

There are two types of iDCS500 system, called ‘L’ and ‘M’ versions. Some
features provided by one version may be different, or may not be available, to
the other version. This guide tells you where this is the case.

YOUR DCS (EURO) KEYSET

Keysets have buttons or “keys” that are used to access or activate features
on your office phone system. The keys with paper designation strips are pro-
grammable keys. This means a key can be programmed for a specific func-
tion on your keyset, and the same key can be something different on another
keyset.

The DCS (Euro) 24B keyset has 24 programmable keys, the 12B keyset has
12, and the 6B has six. All have a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying
call information, feature menus, and so on. With an LCD, you have the option
of using ‘soft keys’ to select features as an alternative to using programmable
keys. You can also use the display to program your keyset for certain func-
tions.

To see the layout for your keyset, refer to the appropriate layout diagram at
the end of this section. Ask the system administrator to have your most fre-
quently-used features assigned to programmable keys, and make sure that
these keys are labelled properly.

Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are
referred to as “outside calls.” Your keyset can have individual C.O. line
keys—called Direct Trunk Selection (DTS) keys—or lines may be assigned
to groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialling an access
code or pressing a route key. For example, you might dial ‘9’ or ‘0’ or press

–1–
Samsung iDCS500 DCS (Euro) Keyset User Guide
the LOCAL key to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing (LCR) 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 num-
bered—by default—beginning with 701 (or 7001), then 702 (7002), 703 (7003),
etc.

Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific exten-
sions. 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 (Euro) keysets provide distinctive ring patterns:

§ Outside calls have a double ring tone repeated.
§ Internal calls have a single ring tone repeated.
§ Doorphone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a short ring tone
repeated quickly.

n CALL INDICATIONS
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). These are tri-
coloured LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together). See
the relevant keyset layout diagram (below) for the keyset you are using.

Internal calls, also called intercom calls, always appear on your CALL keys
and always light green. You can have up to eight CALL keys, but two are
recommended. Remember, you must have at least one CALL key pro-
grammed to be able to make and receive calls.

Outside calls appear on individual DTS keys, if these are assigned. If an indi-
vidual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL key. 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 are identified
with a green flashing light.

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.

Samsung iDCS500 DCS (Euro) Keyset User Guide

n SPEAKERPHONE
Pressing the ANS/RLS key will answer or release a call on the speaker-
phone.
Switching from the handset to the speakerphone is easy. Press the
SPEAKER key and replace the handset.

n VOLUME CONTROLS
DCS (Euro) keysets use the VOLUME up and down (+ and –) 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 can be adjusted
during a page announcement using the VOLUME keys. (There are eight user-
programmable levels for ring, off-hook ring and handset volume, and 16 levels
for speaker, background music and page volume.)
Note: Volume levels can also be changed by dialling TRSF 114 and selecting the
required option(s).

n HOT KEYPAD
Your keyset’s keypad can be made “live” or “hot” so that it is not necessary
to lift the handset or press the SPEAKER key before you begin dialling. Calls
can be made and features activated by simply dialling the line number, trunk
group access code, internal number or feature access code. Dialling feature
descriptions in this guide assume that the Hot Keypad feature is switched
on. If it is not, always lift the handset or press the SPEAKER key before dial-
ling. (Refer to the section “Customising Your Keyset” for details on the Hot
Keypad feature.)

n SYSTEM TONES (UK)

Internal Dial Tone—a continuous steady tone that indicates you can begin
dialling.
Ringback Tone—indicates the extension you dialled is ringing.
Busy Tone—indicates the extension you dialled is busy.
DND/No More Calls Tone - fast busy tone indicates the extension you dialled
is in Do Not Disturb mode or cannot receive any more calls.

–3–
Samsung iDCS500 DCS (Euro) Keyset User Guide
Transfer/Conference Tone—indicates your call is being held and you can dial
another party.
Confirmation Tone—very short beeps followed by dial tone indicate you have
correctly set or cancelled a system feature.
Error Tone—a continuous single-level tone indicates you have done some-
thing incorrectly and should try again.

n SELECTING FEATURES USING DISPLAY

MENUS
Your keyset’s display can be used to select features without the need for
programmed keys. You press the SCROLL key to display feature menus on
the LCD and then use the soft keys to select the required feature(s).

The three soft keys below the LCD are substitutes for dedicated feature keys
and access codes. Pressing one of these keys has the same effect as
pressing a programmed key. These keys are context sensitive and their func-
tions change to present you with the best options for a particular call condi-
tion.

The SCROLL key is used to display options available at a particular time or

during a specific procedure. Press this key once while in the idle state to
view the main feature menus available.

201:STN NAME
CALL OTHER ANS→

CALL Guides you through the options to make a call.

OTHER Guides you through features other than making or answer-
ing calls.
ANS Guides you through the options to answer calls.

1. Select one of the main menus, CALL, OTHER, or ANS using the appro-
priate soft key.

–4–
Samsung iDCS500 DCS (Euro) Keyset User Guide

2. You select features in a menu using the soft keys. If there are more than
three features in a menu—as indicated by the symbol ” → “ displayed as
the last character on the lower line of the display—press the SCROLL
key to display these further options.

Be aware that the menus presented to you will change depending on the
state of your keyphone. In the idle state (on-hook), you see the menus
above. While making or answering calls, other menus are displayed. When a
feature is described in this guide, you are shown how to use the menus if you
do not have the required key programmed on your keyset.

n SYSTEM ACCESS CODES

As an alternative to programming the phone keys, your system is configured
with default system access codes for using the various features described in
this guide. These codes are printed at the end of the guide for quick refer-
ence. However, your system may have been set up to use a different set of
codes. Therefore, if your system does not work as described in this guide,
see your system administrator for advice.

ture access codes, or the soft key menus on the LCD. Use of the soft key
menus is described at the beginning of this guide (see the section “Things
You Should Know” ).

SPEED DIALLING
You can dial a pre-programmed telephone number stored in the system-wide
speed dial list of numbers (500–999) or from your personal list of speed dial

• On 6B keysets, keys 1–3 are keys ‘A’ to ‘C’ and keys 4–6 are keys ‘D’
to ‘F’

Keys ‘B’–‘F’ are used to insert special digits, as follows (the A key is not
used):

B inserts a flash (“F”).

C inserts a pause (“P”).
D is used for pulse-to-tone conversion (“C”). If your system uses rotary (or
pulse) dialling C.O. lines, pressing D while entering a speed dial number
causes all subsequent digits to be sent as DTMF tones.
E is used to hide digits. You may want to hide some phone numbers so that
they will not show in the display when you dial the speed dial number later.
When you are programming the phone number, press E before entering the
digits you want to hide. The symbol “[” is displayed. All subsequent digits will
be displayed as “*” when the speed dial number is dialled. If you want some
digits to display, press E again (“]” is displayed) before entering these digits.

For example, if you program a speed dial number with the phone number 9-
[0121]728765, when you later dial this speed dial number the display shows
****728765.

Note: When programming an outside number, enter the access code (e.g. 9 or 0)
before you press E to hide any digits.

F is used to enter a name for the speed dial number. See Personal Speed
Dial Names in the section “Display Features ”.

should already be familiar with most of the available options.

CALL PROGRESS DISPLAYS

During everyday call handling, your keyset display provides information that
keeps you informed of what is happening and who is calling. You may be
prompted to take an action or you may receive information about the call.

n DIRECTORY INFORMATION
A directory name of up to 11 characters can be assigned to each extension.
If assigned, you can view the name of a calling extension before answering,
and your name can be displayed on any display keysets that you call. (See
Setting Extension Names , below.) For example, a ringing call would display
like this:

CALL FROM 203

John Smith

Similarly, outside lines can have a directory name of up to 11 characters.

Incoming calls can then be easily identified and answered with appropriate
greetings.

Samsung iDCS500 DCS (Euro) Keyset User Guide
Outside and internal calls ringing to an extension group will display “CALL
FOR XXX” where XXX is the extension group number (e.g. 501). This allows
you to answer calls directed to your group in a different way to calls directed
to your extension.

SETTING EXTENSION NAMES

You can assign a name up to 11 characters long to your keyset. This allows
other display keyset users to see who is calling them and to call you using
the Dial by Directory feature (below). To program an extension name:

1. Press the TRSF key and dial 104.

2. Enter the name using the dial keypad. Each press of a key selects a
character. Pressing a different key moves the cursor to the next position.
For example: if your name is “Joanne”, press 5 once to get the letter “J”;
then press 6 three times to get the letter “O”; then press 2 once to get
“A”. Continue selecting characters using the following table to complete
the name.

COUNT 1 2 3 4 5
DIAL 0 < > . ) 0
DIAL 1 space ? , ! 1
DIAL 2 A B C @ 2
DIAL 3 D E F # 3
DIAL 4 G H I $ 4
DIAL 5 J K L % 5
DIAL 6 M N O ^ 6
DIAL 7 P Q R S 7
DIAL 8 T U V R 8
DIAL 9 W X Y Z 9
DIAL 8 : = [ ] *

The # key can be used for the following special characters (displayed in this
sequence): # space & ! : ? . , % $ - < > / = [ ] @ ^ ( ) _ + { } | ; " → `
