General Description
The Samsung iDCS100 (Digital Communications System) is a digital telephone system de-
signed for small- to medium-sized businesses. It can operate with the functionality of a key
system, PABX or a combination of both (hybrid). The system employs DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) digital technology.
The iDCS100 offers a variety of interface cards that allow connection to the public telephone
network or to private networks. These are generally referred to as trunk cards. Two types of
telephone can be connected to the system: proprietary digital phones called “keysets” con-
nect to digital line interface cards (DLI) and standard telephones (generally called single line
telephones, or SLTs) connect to single line interface cards (SLI). In addition, DLI station ports
are used to connect peripheral devices such as door phones and add-on modules. Miscella-
neous circuits are provided to allow such optional features as external paging, music-on-hold,
background music, common audible devices, alarms and emergency power failure tele-
phones.
Voice Over IP (VoIP)
The iDCS100 ITM3 interface card supports eight calls over an IP network connection using
the industry-standard H.323 protocol, allowing the transfer of voice, data and images quickly
and efficiently.
Samsung Keysets
All keysets have a single PCB with surface-mounted components assuring the highest prod-
uct quality and long life. Samsung’s customary large, easy-to-read displays and key LEDs
make them much easier to use. In many instances, sophisticated features are made simple
through the use of friendly display prompts or programmable feature keys.
