Chapter DECT System Overview
This overview provides instructions for using a Digital European Cordless Telecommunications
(DECT) system with the Samsung DCS or DCS Compact II keyphone system. In this manual, the
DCS system is referred to as "DCS" and the DCS Compact II system is referred to as "Compact II."
Various DECT handsets from many different manufacturers are compatible with DECT systems.
DECT systems offer a complete range of keyphone systems and handsets that can be used to pro-
vide DECT cordless communications in a single office or throughout a large commercial or indus-
trial complex. This improves overall efficiency, since staff can be reached or can make calls wher-
ever they are. These systems also provide existing keyphone functions that are commonly used in
business environments. The use of cordless extensions reduces the cost and inconvenience asso-
ciated with reconfiguring wired extensions as people move offices, or as the company is reorgan-
ised.
The DECT system comprises a DCS or Compact II keyphone system, a base station interface (BSI)
card, and one or more DECT base stations (DBSs). The BSI card provides the interface between
the keyphone system and the DBSs and is installed in the keyphone system. In the example below,
the DECT system is a DCS keyphone system fitted with an 8BSI card interfacing with up to eight
DBSs.
