PART 1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 INTRODUCTION

DCS-816, Digital Communication System, is a digital telephone system designed for small to
medium-sized businesses. The system employs the very latest Digital Signal Processors (DSP)
technology.
DCS-816 is easy to install and maintain, convenient to use and provides a variety of features,
including advanced features such as ISDN and CTI.
DCS-816 provides some interface cards that allow connection to the public telephone network or
private networks. These are generally referred to as trunk cards. Besides the trunk cards, it
provides some option cards for serial interfaces and the Auto Attendant feature. Two types of
telephones can be connected to the system: proprietary digital phones called "keysets" connect to
digital line interface (DLI) ports; standard telephone sets, generally called "single line telephones,"
connect to single line interface (SLI) ports. In addition, DLI station ports are used to connect
peripheral devices such as door phone interface modules (DPIMs) and CTI interface modules.
Miscellaneous circuits are provided to allow such optional features as external paging, music on
hold, background music, general-purpose dry contact and emergency power failure transfer.
All DCS keysets utilise a single PCB with surface-mounted components assuring the highest
product quality and long life. Samsung's customary large, easy-to-read displays and LEDs in the
button (key) design make them much easier to use. In many instances, sophisticated features are
made simple through the use of friendly display prompts or push-on/push-off feature keys.
NOTE:
1. It is not possible to expand from DCS-816 to other DCS systems (e.g. DCS, DCS Compact).
2. DCS-816 cannot accommodate cards from other Samsung digital systems except for the DCS
Compact BRI card.
