Dees developed the DSI-375, Meridian Custom Ringer, in conjunction with Northern Telecom. The DSI monitors the DMS-100™ or SL-100™ Introduction digital Centrex lines servicing Meridian™ Business Sets (MBS). The DSI is equipped with a variable frequency electronic ringer and the ability to close a set of contacts which can be used to control auxiliary equipment such as aloud ringer or lamp.

The DSI is capable of performing many different functions. These functions are described as configurations in this User Guide. Overview Configurations can be linked together so that the DSI can perform more than one task. Each configuration is described briefly here. More detailed explanations are located on pages 18-29.

Configuration 6 Distinctive Ringing Sets your DSI to ring with a distinctive tone. Choose from ten different tones or ringing cadences. See page 24. Configuration 7 MBS Add-On Module When any LCD on the MBS and its associated add-on module flashes, the DSI rings and can activate any connected auxiliary equipment, e.g., a ringer or a lamp.
This section contains important information about installing and programming the DSI. The following illustration shows the dial pad on the MBS that is used to operate and set up the DSI. The line buttons that are referenced in the The Meridian procedures in this User Guide are also shown.
The programming mode of the DSI is accessed directly after power is applied to the unit and is identified by the rapidly flashing LED. You have When to Apply 20 seconds to commence programming before the DSI times out. If you Power to the DSI wait longer than 20 seconds to commence programming, simply unplug the power supply and reapply power to start again.
Day Service refers to any configurations that you have programmed the DSI to perform. Understanding Day Service and However, sometimes, different service is required at night. For this reason the DSI provides a Night Service option. When the DSI is Night Service operating on Night Service mode, all lines on the station and the add-on module will ring whenever there is an incoming call.
The DSI can be connected to the Meridian Business Set (MBS) in several different ways depending on the application. DSI-375 Stand Alone Power Configuration Auxiliary Equipment Telephone Line or Wall Jack Fig. 2 Disconnect your MBS from the RJ-11 wall jack and plug it in to the RJ-11 jack marked STATION SET on the DSI.
This installation method can be applied when your MBS model is any of the following: Installation with T-Adapter model M5209 model M5312 DSI-375 Power RJ-11 wall outlet Auxiliary Equipment “T” Adapter Fig. 3 Disconnect your MBS from the RJ-11 wall jack and plug it in to the RJ-11 jack marked STATION SET on the DSI.
The two Installing the DSI units must be programmed separately and are connected together via with the CTA-369 the LINE jack on the DSI. or CRI-376 Power Power DSI-375 CRI-376 or Auxiliary CTA-369 Equipment Telephone Line or Wall Jack Fig. 4 Disconnect your MBS from the RJ-11 wall jack and plug it in to RJ-11 jack marked STATION SET on the DSI.
Installing the DSI signals about the status of the lines on the MBS. with Auxiliary The Dees Stinger 24, Model198, or Model126 is fully compatible with the Equipment DSI. See page 26 for instructions on how to control auxiliary equipment.

Plug the barrel connector of the power supply provided with the DSI into the POWER socket on the DSI. Plug the power supply into your wall outlet when ready to configure the DSl. Note: Configuration must commence within 20seconds of power up. Line cord and connecting block are not provided with the DSI for hooking up auxiliary equipment.
Configuration 0 is used to clear the DSI's non-volatile memory and return the unit to factory default setting which is as follows: Configuration 0 Clear Memory or DSI on Factory Default Setting Ringer on Tone selection Normal MBS All configuration options are turned off. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply.
The Off-Hook Busy feature is used to monitor the MBS for an off-hook state. The DSI will provide contact closure once detected so that a light Configuration 1 or other device is activated. If the MBS is equipped with the "make busy" Monitoring feature, DSl can be configured to close those contacts when the "make- Off-Hook Busy...
The MBS uses a two second tone (or splash tone) to identify certain types of calls. Configuration 2 For example: Second Call or A second incoming call if off-hook Intercom Alert Tone An intercom call Amplification The "ring again" feature Sometimes this tone is not loud enough.
Using Configuration 3, the DSI will ring any time any line on the MBS rings and any associated auxiliary equipment attached to the DSl will Configuration 3 also be activated. Simultaneous Remember, in this configuration the DSl will ring only if the lines on the Ringing on MBS are programmed to ring.
In this application, the DSl can be configured to ring on any line or group of lines when the MBS is on-hook. Configuration 4 Set Idle On-Hook Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming.
In his application, the DSI can be configured to ring on any line or group of lines when the MBS is off-hook or in use. Configuration 5 This configuration can be used to provide normal ringing instead of the Set Busy Off-Hook splash tone that normally identifies a second incoming call when the user is off-hook.
The DSI is equipped with an internal electronic ringer capable of providing 5 different tones in either single or double ringing format. Configuration 6 Tone selection is accomplished through the dial pad of your MBS. Even Distinctive Tone numbers (2, 4, 6, 8 and 0) activate a single ring and odd numbers (1, 3, 5, Selection 7 and 9) activate a double or split ringing cadence.
This configuration is used to ring the DSI any time any LCD on the MBS or associated add-on module flashes, whether the phone is on-hook or Configuration 7 off-hook. MBS Add-On Module Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming.
For Night Service, the auxiliary equipment is usually a loud ringer which you may want to turn off during the day. Auxiliary equipment is controlled Configuration 8 by contacts in the DSI. You can set the DSI to disable auxiliary Controlling equipment during Day Service.
This configuration is used to operate a Message Waiting alert tone or to give a contact closure to operate lamp. The Message Waiting must be Configuration 9 displayed on the MBS as the DSI will not recognize it if it is on the add- Message Waiting on module.
This configuration is used to give an audible alert for lines which have been put on hold. The Hold Reminder ringing can be timed from 20-99 Configuration 10 seconds. If a line has been put on hold at any station and the line Hold Reminder appears on the programmed station the Hold Reminder ringing will be Alert Tones...
This configuration is used to enable a set of contacts whenever a designated line is put on hold. Use this feature when you need to operate Configuration 11 a lamp or other remote indicator to show a call has been put on hold. Hold Detect Action Step 1:...
DSI may be programmed so that several configurations can operate at the same time. This is called linking configurations. Since the complete Linking configuration string used to link multiple configurations may be lengthy Configurations depending on the application, we suggest that once you have determined which configurations are to be linked, you write the string down.

Or, for example, you may wish to amplify the splash tone, Configuration 2, and make a normally non ringing line, say line 3, ring, Configuration 4, using a different tone to identify it, Configuration 6. The following keys would be pressed: Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply.
Once the DSI has been configured, day to day operation is controlled via the dial pad of the MBS. These commands are accomplished by pressing Operating the DSI the # key and a single digit code with the MBS on-hook. Ensure that the Day to Day DSI is in the ready state with the LED light on steadily.
The DSI can operate in two separate modes: Day Service and Night Service. This section of the User Guide describes Night Service. Operating Night Service When the DSI is set to Night Service, the DSI rings and the auxiliary equipment is activated when any LCD on the MBS or add-on module flashes.
