1.1 SIZE AND CONFIGURATION

The PROSTAR DCS COMPACT is an expandable digital hybrid key telephone system
that begins with four C.O. line ports and eight keyset ports and expands to ten C.O. line
ports and 22 stations (see Figure 1–1). In addition, up to ten keyset daughterboards may
be added to the system to provide the maximum configuration of ten C.O. line ports and
32 stations.
Two types of telephones can be connected to the system: proprietary digital stations called
"keysets" that connect to DLI (Digital Line Interface) ports and standard telephone sets,
generally called "single line telephones" that connect to SLI (Single Line Interface) ports.
The above chart describes configurations using the basic Key Service Unit and 2 x 4
expansion cards. However, by using the DCS COMPACT's unique keyset daughterboards
(KDBs), which are installed in the base of a digital keyset, the capacity of the system can
be increased by one station per KDb. Installing a KDb-DLI adds another digital port while
a KDb-SLI adds a single line port. Mix and match these two types of KDb for up to a total
of ten KDBs in the system. Using this method allows the DCS COMPACT to expand to a
maximum of 30 stations. Adding the optional 2 SLI card to the Key Service Unit provides
a further two SLI ports. The combination of the basic 4 x 8 Key Service Unit plus three 2 x
4 expansion cards plus ten KDBs plus a 2 SLI card provides a maximum configuration of
ten C.O. lines and 32 stations plus miscellaneous circuits.
