Chapter 1 Site Requirements 

When planning the installation of the iDCS500 system, choose a site that meets the following requirements. 

• There is sufficient space for easy installation (Figure 1–1) and adequate lighting. 

• Location minimizes cable lengths. See the Cable Requirements table in Chapter 3, “Specifications”, of the 

iDCS500 General Description Guide. 

• The equipment should not be exposed to direct sunlight, corrosive fumes, dust, constant vibration or strong 

magnetic fields such as those generated by motors and copy machines. 

• A direct commercial AC power outlet is required. Do not use extension cords. Preferably, a dedicated circuit 

should be used to minimize the risk of other electrical equipment being connected that could adversely affect 

system operation. 

• Ensure that all wires and cables going to and coming from the iDCS500 are properly routed. Do not cross fluorescent 

lights or run parallel with AC wires. 

• The equipment must be located in an environment that will maintain a temperature range of 32°~104°F (0°~ 

40°C) and a humidity range of 10%~90% non-condensing. 

• This equipment is to be installed only in Restricted Access Areas (e.g. dedicated equipment rooms, equipment 

closets). 

• Allow at least 25cm (10”) clearance on both sides and above the system to ensure proper ventilation and access 

to the interior of the cabinet. 

• Do not install in close proximity to a fire sprinkler head or to other sources of water. 

• Space consideration must be made to allow floor or wall mounting. Do not wall mount a multiple cabinet system. 

Meeting these requirements will help to ensure proper performance and greater life expectancy of the system.

Chapter 2 Installing Single and Multiple 

Cabinet Configurations 

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION 

The iDCS500 can be configured as a single cabinet, a two cabinet, or a three cabinet system. 

A single cabinet system may be wall, floor, or rack mounted while multiple cabinets systems may only be floor 

or rack mounted. Do not attempt to wall mount a multiple cabinet system. 

All the iDCS500 cabinets are identical. While unpacking the cabinet(s), inspect for signs of physical damage. 

If any damage is detected, do not attempt installation—contact your supplier. 

Check to see that each cabinet carton includes the following items: 

• iDCS500 cabinet 

• Top cover 

• Left and right side covers 

• Front cover 

• Cabinet leg mounting kit 

• AC power and DC power cables 

Check that all additional hardware and software is available for installation. 

• Floor mounting equipment (legs or castors), if required. 

• Cards required to make the system functional (i.e., power supply, central processor, station and trunk cards).

Chapter 3 Grounding, Power Connections 

and Cabling 

GROUNDING 

An equipment grounding conductor that complies with the electrical specifications of your country is to be installed 

as part of the circuit that supplies the system. Bare, covered, or insulated grounding conductors are acceptable. 

Individually covered or insulated equipment grounding conductors should have a continuous outer 

finish that is either green or green with one or more yellow stripes. 

The AC power outlets to which the system is to be connected should all to be of a grounding type. The equipment 

grounding conductors serving these outlets should be connected to earth ground at the serv ice equipment. 

WARNING: HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT! Earth connection is essential before connecting 

supply. 

The system requires that a supplementary earth ground be connected. This is the preferred method of grounding. 

The third-wire ground may be inferior or can contain noise that may prevent the digital data bus from 

cancelling out noise, and may result in erratic operation. Also, some UPS battery systems do not pass the 

ground through to the power cord, resulting in no ground to the system. The grounding bar on the bottom of 

the left side of the cabinet must be connected to one of the following: bonded building steel, cold water pipe or 

a ground rod using at least #16 AWG (1.3mm) copper wire. Additionally, the ground between cabinets in a 

multiple cabinet system must also be at least #16 AWG (1.3mm) copper wire. The third wire AC ground (or 

FG) is connected to the system frame via the ground strap from the gr ound connector on the AC socket (Figure 

3-1). 

A supplementary equipment grounding conductor must be installed between the system and ground in addition 

to the equipment grounding conductor in the power supply cord. The supplementary equipment grounding 

conductor must not be smaller than the ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors. The supplementary 

equipment grounding conductor must be connected to the system at the terminal provided, and must be connected 

to ground in a manner that will retain the ground connection when the system is unplugged from the AC 

outlet. Termination of the supplementary equipment grounding conductor may be made to building steel, to a 

metal electrical raceway system, or to any grounded item that is permanently and reliably connected to the electrical 

service equipment ground. 

Failure to provide an adequate ground may cause a safety hazard, faults or even circuit card failure. 

WARNING: Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before attempting to connect the 

ground. Hazardous voltage may cause death or injury. Observe extreme caution when 

working with AC power. Remove champ connectors from trunk cards.

3-2 Chapter 3 

Grounding and Power Connections 

NOTE ON GROUNDING—When conventional analogue telephone circuits are connected to the system, under certain fault conditions (e.g., 

the tip and/or ring conductor is crossed with a power line, or the circuit is affected by lightning during a storm) it is possible for hazardous 

potentials to appear across the tip and ring wiring coming in to the system cabinet(s) from outside (i.e., from overhead cables, buried cables, 

or cable head pedestal). These circuits are provided with both primary and secondary protection circuitry which will attempt to drain off 

these high voltages and currents to earth ground. Obviously, it is important to have a good source of ground connected to the system to 

drain this en ergy off. Also, certain metallic analogue circuits (e.g., E & M trunks) require a current flow to earth ground to accommodate 

normal operating conditions and/or to resolve fault conditions. Again, a good earth ground source is required by the system. 

The iDCS500 system has two ground reference points. One point is via the green wire in the power cord connected to the AC power outlet. 

This ground connection is provided to meet local electrical codes when the AC ground is required to be common with the earth ground. 

However, this can be disconnected either intentionally or unintentionally. Consequently, a more permanent ground connection is required 

by connecting a high current/voltage capacity ground wire which is bonded to ground at the electric service power entrance or via some 

other approved method to the system ground bar. This is a more secure ground connection, which can only be disconnected intentionally. 

These precautions are taken for safety reasons to protect personnel working on the system and also for operational reasons to accommodate 

ground return and/or ground-referenced analogue telephone circuits, which require this solid earth ground connection for normal functioning. 

POWER CONNECTIONS 

AC POWER CORD ASSEMBLY 

The AC power cord supplied with the cabinet plugs into the AC power input socket located on the left side of 

the cabinet (Figure 3-2). 

WARNING: Do not connect AC power to the system 

INSTALLING POWER SUPPLY UNITS (PSU- B and PSU60) 

The PSU-B is the main power supply for the iDCS500 cabinet(s). A second PSU-B or a PSU60 is required if 

more than 56 stations are required. This rule applies to each cabinet. 

Before installing a PSU, verify that the power switch is in the proper voltage setting position, 110V or 220V as 

required (Figure 3 -3). 

The main PSU-B is installed in the first cabinet slot labelled “PSU-B”. A second PSU is installed in the slot labelled 

“PSU-B/PSU60”.

3-3 

SEPUs 

A PSU-B can supply up to 56 station devices or Station Equivalent Power Units (SEPUs). A second PSU can supply 

up to 64 station devices or SEPUs (for a total of 120 stations). Several interface cards, other than station cards, 

consume 48V power and the consumption of these cards is rated in SEPUs. The table below shows the SEPU rating 

of all the cards that consume 48V.

(All other cards have a SEPU rating of 0) 

When the system is operational, you can determine which PSU is supplying each card, or if a card is turned on 

or off, using MMC 806. 

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL 48VDC BATTERY SOURCE 

CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and injury, use only a sealed nickel-cadmium or lead-acid 

battery supply capable of handling a charge current of 0.45 Amps, a charge voltage of -54 

VDC and a discharge rate of 6–40 Amp Hours (AH). 

The iDCS500 power supplies contain a monitoring circuit to switch the system to customer-provided 48VDC 

batteries if AC power is interrupted. Calls in progress are not disconnected. The PSU-B/PSU60 provides 

-56VDC at 0.4 amperes charging current (when AC power is supplied) which allows for float charging from the 

system to the emergency backup batteries. There should be no more than a -0.5VDC drop in voltage from the 

system and the batteries. 

Take the following precautions when installing batteries: 

Make sure the batteries you install conform to local building, fire and safety codes. Some battery types emit 

hydrogen gas during the charging state and may require venting to fresh air. 

Do not place batteries directly on a concrete floor. This causes them to discharge very quickly. 

Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommended installation and maintenance procedures. 

Check polarity prior to connecting the external 48VDC power source to the system.

3-4 Chapter 3 

Grounding and Power Connections 

Connect four 12V batteries or eight 6V batteries in series. Use the factory-supplied wire harness with 91.5cm 

(36”) white and black leads to connect batteries. The batteries must be located within one metre of the KSU. 

The 48VDC cable assembly has a male 3-pin mate and lock connector on the system end. Insert this end of the 

DC cable into the battery (BATT) connector on the left-hand side of the cabinet. Attach the other end of the DC 

power cable to the 48VDC power source. (Figure 3-4.) 

WARNING: Make sure the proper polarity is observed. Equipment damage will result if 

polarity is reversed. Do not connect external power to the system. 

Press the “BATT” switch located above the card slots (next to the main power switch marked “PWR”) to the ON 

position. (See Figure 4-2 which shows the position of the switch .) 

MDF CABLING 

All connections to the system are made by way of a customer-provided main distribution frame (MDF). Each 

interface card (with the exception of the TEPRI and ITM3 card) is connected to the MDF using a 25-pair female 

amphenol-type cable. These cables can be routed into the cabinet(s) from below or on the right-hand side. 

Label each cable to correspond with the slot numbers. Label each terminating block to identify the cabinet, slot 

and port numbers. Use one pair twisted jumper wire to cross-connect stations or lines to their associated port.

Chapter 5 Power Up Procedures 

Before powering up your system, ensure that all of the procedures described in the previous chapters 

have been followed carefully. 

CONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM 

During the initial installation, it is best to verify proper system operation before plugging in any amphenol-type 

cables to the MDF. If you have already plugged the cables in, unplug them. 

1. Verify that the AC voltage at the dedicated AC outlet is in the range 88~132 VAC or 210~230 VAC. 

Verify that the AC voltage selection switch on the PSU is set for the correct voltage 110 or 220 VAC. 

(See Figure 3–3 in Chapter 3.) 

2. Verify that a supplemental ground has been connected. 

3. Make sure the AC power switch (PWR) on each iDCS500 cabinet is in the OFF position (see Figure 4- 

2 in Chapter 4 which shows the position of the PWR switch). Plug one end of each power cord into the 

power input connectors on the main cabinet and expansion cabinets (see Figure 3-2 in Chapter 3). Plug 

the other end of each cable into the dedicated AC outlet or power strip. Confirm that all expansion 

cabinets are connected to the main cabinet with appropriate cables. 

4. Turn the AC power switch (PWR) to the ON position on each of the expansion cabinets. 

5. Turn the AC power switch (PWR) to the ON position on the main cabinet. 

PROCESSOR CARD LED INDICATIONS 

After verifying correct operation of the power supply, visually check the processor card LED indications. 

If operating correctly, the LEDs should display as follows: 

CARD LED STATUS 

MCP 

Flickers rapidly, indicating the main processor is functioning 

MCP 

On steady, indicating that the SmartMedia card is present and recognized 

SM 

SCP 

HDLC (TX, RX) Flickering 

SCP 

On steady 

LCP

LCP 

On steady 

If the SM LED on the MCP does not light or flash, the system does not recognize the 

SmartMedia card. Power down the main cabinet, replace the SmartMedia card and repeat the power up 

procedure. If the problem is not corrected, power down and remove the MCP card. Check the MCP to ensure 

it is configured correctly. Remember the MCP must have an ESM and IPM installed to operate in a 

multiple cabinet system or in a single cabinet system running L version software, and that the SmartMedia 

card must contain L version software. If none of the LEDs on the MCP illuminates, unplug the system,

5-2 Chapter 5 

Power Up Procedures 

disconnect the expansion cabinet power cords and cables and repeat the test. If the LEDs on the MCP still 

do not light, unplug the system, remove the power supply and check the AC fuse located on the bottom 

(Figure 5–1). 

If the fuse is good but the LEDs do not light, you must correct the problem before continuing. Turn off 

the power switch. Unplug all cards using the card ejectors. Turn the system on. Check the LEDs again. If 

the problem is corrected, you have a defective card. Test and remove the faulty card before continuing. If 

the LEDs still do not light, unplug the cabinet and change power supplies. This should solve the problem. 

If it does not, contact Samsung Technical Support. 

➲ If no LEDs on an LCP card light, unplug and replace the cable. If this does not cure the problem, 

unplug and replace the LCP card. If the LED still does not light, unplug the system, remove the expansion 

cabinet power supply and check the AC fuse located on the bottom (Figure 5–1). 

If the fuse is good but the LED does not light, you must correct the problem before continuing. Turn off 

the power switch. Unplug all cards using the card ejectors. Turn the system on. Check the LEDs again. If 

the problem is corrected, you have a defective card. Test and remove the faulty card before continuing. If 

the LEDs still do not light, unplug the expansion cabinet and change power supplies. This will probably 

solve the problem. If it does not, contact Samsung Technical Support. 

NOTE: For full descriptions of all possible LED indications while the system is in operation, 

refer to Appendix A. 

PCB VERIFICATION 

Before connecting MDF cabling, plug in a test cable to the first DLI card. Connect a display keyset and 

verify that it is working. Use MMC 727 to verify the system and software versions and to confirm that all 

cards are recognized by the MCP. Remove the test cable and plug in all amphenol-type cables to the MDF. 

It is recommended that the system be defaulted using MMC 811. (See the Samsung Combined Programming 

Manual for details of MMC programming.) 

DEFAULT TRUNK AND STATION NUMBERING 

Upon initial power up, the MCP reads each slot for the existence of a card and identifies the type of card. 

It stores this information as the default configuration. The trunk card in the lowest slot number is assigned 

trunk numbers beginning with 701. The next highest slot number with a trunk card is assigned trunk 

numbers following those of the first trunk card. This numbering sequence continues until the last trunk 

card in the highest slot number is assigned the last trunk number. 

For example, if an 8TRK card is in the first slot, port C1/S1/P1 is assigned trunk number 701 (first cabinet, 

first slot, first trunk in the system). If the second slot has a Trunk B card installed, port C1/S2/P4 is assigned 

trunk number 712 (first cabinet, second slot, fourth circuit, 12th trunk in the system).

5-3 

Station numbers are assigned in the same manner. The lowest slot number containing any type of station 

card is assigned station numbers beginning with 201. The next highest slot with a station card is assigned 

numbers following those of the first station card. This numbering sequence continues until all of the stations 

are assigned. Default data assigns the keyset in the lowest port to the operator group and all trunks 

ring that station until the default is changed. It is recommended that the first station card be a DLI card so 

that the operator station will default to a keyset as extension 201. Using MMC 724, station and trunk 

numbers can be changed, rearranged and reassigned as needed. 

NOTE: Newly added station or trunk cards come up without directory numbers. The above 

examples describe a system using a three-digit numbering scheme. If the DIP switches on 

the MCP card are changed, the default numbers may be four digits. See section “Main 

Control Processor (MCP) Card” in Chapter 4 for details of DIP switch settings.

Chapter 6 Connecting Central Office 

Circuits 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. To limit the risk of personal injury, always follow 

these precautions before connecting Central Office (C.O.) circuits: 

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. 

Never install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. 

Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected 

at the network interface. 

LOOP START LINES 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each loop 

start C.O. line to the Trunk B or 8TRK port of your choice (Figures 6-1 and 6-2). 

AC15 TIE LINES 

Using two pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each tie line 

to the AC15 card port of your choice (Figure 6-3). 

OFF PREMISE EXTENSIONS (OPX) 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect single line 

telephone (SLT) extensions to telephone company OPX circuits (Figure 6-4). Circuits on the SLI card are 

specifically designed to meet telephone company requirements for OPX use. These circuits are provided 

with the same over-voltage and over-current protection as that of C.O. line circuits. Using SLTs on any 

other SLI card or a KDb-SLI requires the installation of externally mounted protection devices. 

There is no special programming required for OPX use; however, it is suggested that the OPX ports are set 

for C.O. ring in MMC 208. The telephone company service facility interface code for OPX circuits is 

OL13C.

6-2 Chapter 6 

Connecting Central Office Circuits 

ISDN PRI CIRCUIT 

Using a standard, straight-through 8-conductor data cable or straight-through 8-conductor line cord, connect 

the Network Terminating Unit to the TEPRI card as shown in Figure 6-5. 

ISDN BRI LINES 

The Basic Rate Interface (BRI) card can be used as ISDN TE (Terminal Equipment) or NT2 (Network Termination 

2 / Multi-way ISDN Interface). When programmed to T-mode (default setting) this port provides 

T point. (Figure 6-6a) 

NOTE: When you are connecting a T port to an NT, please take care if there is a 

termination present in any place on the bus other than this BRI card—typical 100 Ohm line 

termination resistance exists on each port of this card (Figure 6-6b). 

For ISDN station interface as S point of NT2, see Chapter 7.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

To limit the risk of personal injury, always follow these precautions before connecting telephone circuits: 

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. 

Never install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. 

Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected 

at the network interface. 

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. 

i DCS AND DCS (EURO) KEYSETS 

You can connect both iDCS Series keysets or DCS Series (“Euro”) keysets to the iDCS500 system. 

NOTE: The iDCS500 is a self-configuring system. If you connect, say, a 12-button Euro keyset 

to a DLI port that previously had a 24-button Euro keyset installed, the existing data will be 

rewritten with 12-button keyset default data (see MMC 723). This can be avoided if you first 

SAVE the keyset data using MMC 720. This rule also applies to the iDCS series of keysets. 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each keyset to 

the DLI port (Figures 7–1a and 7–1b) or plug into the keyset daughterboard of your choice (see Chapter 

8). 

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only #26 AWG (0.4mm) or larger telecommunication 

line cord. 

Wall Mounting iDCS Keysets 

iDCS keysets are provided with a reversible base wedge which can be removed and reattached to allow 

the keyset to be fitted to a wall. To remove the wedge, lay the keyset face down, press the sides of the 

wedge inwards and pull firmly outwards to release it from the retaining clips. Turn the wedge through 

180 degrees and reattach it to the keyset. Mount the keyset on the wall using the mounting holes 1-3 (Figure 

7-2). (You may find it easier to attach the wedge to the wall first before reattaching the keyset.)

64 BUTTON ADD-ON MODULES 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each add-on 

module (AOM) to a DLI port (Figure 7-4a or 7-4b) or plug into the keyset daughterboard of your 

choice (see Chapter 8). If an AOM is to operate as a stand-alone unit, there is nothing else required other 

than assigning soft keys. When an AOM is to be used with a station, it must be assigned to that station in 

MMC 209. Add-on modules can be assigned to any keyset or single line telephone. 


line cord. 

SINGLE LINE TELEPHONES 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each single 

line telephone (SLT) to the SLI port, 8SLI port, 8MWSLI, 16SLI or 16MWSLI port of your choice (Figures 

7-5a to 7-5d) or into the keyset daughterboard of your choice (see Chapter 8). 


line cord. 

SLTs with message waiting lamps must be connected to the 8MWSLI or 16MWSLI card 

DOOR PHONE AND DOOR LOCK RELEASE 

Using one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire, cross-connect each door 

phone interface module (DPIM) to the DLI port (Figures 7-6a and 7-6b) or plug into the keyset daughterboard 

of your choice (see Chapter 8). Next, connect the DPIM to the door phone using #24 AWG 

(0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) twisted pair wire. 


line cord. 

When a customer-provided electric door release is installed, cross-connect the corresponding door release 

contacts on the DPIM to the door lock mechanism (Figures 7-6a and 7-6b). Use MMC 501 to program the 

duration of the contact closure as required. The door release contacts on the DPIM are to be used for low 

voltage relay control only. The contacts are rated at 24 VDC–1 amp.

Do not attempt to connect commercial AC power to these contacts. 

DECT BASE STATION (DBS) 

Using two pair twisted wire: 

#24 AWG (0.5mm) up to 600m, or 

#26 AWG (0.4mm) up to 400m 

connect MDF cables to the 8BSI card (see Figure 4-20 in Chapter 4) and make a connection between the 

8BSI card and the DBS. 

ISDN STATION (ISDN PHONE, G4 FAX, etc) 

Using two pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) wire, cross connect each ISDN TE to the 

BRI card’s ‘S’ mode port (see Figure 6-6b in Chapter 6). As NT2, the BRI card supports S points for ISDN 

TEs (ISDN phone, G4 FAX, etc). This S mode (ISDN Station Interface Mode) must be programmed in 

MMC 423 first, since its default state is T mode (ISDN Trunk Interface Mode). Also, MMC 419 is used to 

determine whether power is supplied to that port. After programming the BRI card, it must be restarted 

using MMC 418. Refer to the Samsung Combined Programming Manual for details of MMC programming.

Chapter 8 Connecting Optional 

Equipment 

Optional equipment covered in this chapter includes: 

• Music-On-Hold/Background Music 

• External Paging 

• Ring Over Page 

• Printer for SMDR/UCD/traffic/alarm reports 

• Common Bell 

• PC for programming 

• Voice Mail/Auto Attendant (customer-provided) 

(For full details of MMC programming for these options, see the Samsung Combined Programming Manual.) 

MUSIC ON HOLD/BACKGROUND MUSIC 

Connect each customer-provided music source to the music input on a MISC daughterboard (Figure 

8-1). 

Each C.O. line (trunk) can be programmed to receive a music source, system-generated tone or ‘NO MU- 

SIC’ when it is put on hold. Each keyset can receive a music source or ‘NO MUSIC’ for background music. 

EXTERNAL PAGING 

Each MISC daughterboard provides a voice pair and a dry contact pairs to be used with customerprovided 

paging equipment. Connect the customer-provided paging equipment to the page output pins 

of a MISC daughterboard (Figure 8-2). The relay must be assigned to the page zone in MMC 605. 

The page voice pair is 600 Ohm impedance. If the amplifier page input is not 600 Ohm, use an impedance 

matching transformer. The paging contact pairs are for control of low voltage circuits or amplifier 

output. The contacts are rated at 24 VDC–1 amp. 

WARNING: Do not attempt to connect commercial AC power to these contacts.

8-2 Chapter 8 

Connecting Optional Equipment 

COMMON BELL 

A customer-provided loud ringing device can be controlled using a dry contact pair on a MISC daughter 

board. (Figure 8-3.) Using MMC 204, programming allows for interrupted or continuous operation 

of the contacts. The interrupted selection follows the C.O. ring cadence: one second ON/three seconds 

OFF. 

After connecting a common bell, you must assign it in MMC 601 to a group as a ring destination by using 

the code for common bell. The steps for common bell operation are as follows: 

Wire the loud ringing device to the common bell control contact pair. 

Set contacts for continuous or steady operation. 

Program the hunt group to include the common bell. 

Assign the trunk to ring the hunt group containing the common bell. 

Common bell control can be used with station hunt groups, individual stations and Universal Answer. 

Contacts are rated at 24 VDC–1 amp. 

WARNING: Do not attempt to connect commercial AC power to these contacts. 

RING OVER PAGE 

When a customer-provided paging system is installed, incoming calls can be assigned to ring over page 

(ROP). Program the line or lines to ring a hunt group. Using MMC 601, assign ROP as a destination in 

this hunt group. ROP can be used for day or night operation, or both. 

SMDR/UCD/TRAFFIC/ALARM REPORTS 

To receive SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording), UCD statistics, traffic or alarm reports, connect a 

customer-provided printer to one of the four RS232C DB9 connectors on the main cabinet. These are 

marked SIO1–SIO4 on the IOM board (Figure 8-4). Use a pin-to-pin RS232C cable. See Figures 8-5 and 

8-6 for the required pins. When the printer or optional call accounting device needs to be more than 5m 

(15 ft) away from the main cabinet, use shielded computer cable. Connect the customer-provided equipment 

to the serial interface port selected. Attach a male DB9 connector to the serial port—the other end must 

meet the requirements of the device or printer. Use MMC 725 to set SMDR print options and use MMC 

804 to set the port and transmission parameters. MMC 804 is also used to select the required report(s).

8-3 

PC PROGRAMMING 

To program the system via a personal computer (PC), connect a PC equipped with PCMMC to a serial interface 

(SIO) connector on the main cabinet (see Figure 8-4). Use an RS232C cable with connections as shown 

in Figure 8–6. If the PC needs to be more than 3m (10 ft) away from the KSU, use shielded computer cable. 

Attach a male DB9 connector to the SIO end of the cable and a connector that meets the requirements 

of the PC to the other end. This cable must not exceed 300 feet. Use MMC 804 to set the transmission 

parameters for the serial port. 

VOICE MAIL/AUTO ATTENDANT 

The system provides special programming and hardware for use with a customer-provided voice 

mail/auto attendant (VM/AA) system. All single line stations on the SLI and 8SLI cards provide a disconnect 

signal required for VM/AA operation. 

Use one pair twisted #24 AWG (0.5mm) or #26 AWG (0.4mm) jumper wire to cross-connect SLI circuits to 

the VM/AA system. For information on programming these ports, refer to MMCs 207, 601 and 726 in 

the Samsung Combined Programming Manual. See also the Samsung Single Line Telephone User Guide for 

feature codes and instructions. 

NOTE: To install and configure the Samsung Cadence or SVMi-8 Voice Mail / Auto 

Attendant system, see Chapter 12.

Chapter 9 Installing Keyset Daughterboards 

iDCS KEYSET DAUGHTERBOARDS 

KDB-DIGITAL LINE INTERFACE (FKDBD) 

This daughterboard can be installed only in the 18- or 28-button (18D or 28D) iDCS series keysets. The 

FKDBD provides one additional DLI circuit for the connection of any digital station device such as 

another keyset, an add-on module or door phone interface module. This FKDBD will only operate when 

the keyset is connected to an 8-port DLI card so that it can use the second B channel. Each port on this 

card is intended for connection to one telephone. 

Connecting multiple telephones to a port may result in incorrect operation or damage to the card. 

Read “Installation Procedure”, below. 

KDB-SINGLE LINE INTERFACE (FKDBS) 

This daughterboard can be installed only in the 18- or 28-button (18D or 28D) iDCS series keysets. The 

FKDBS provides one additional SLI circuit for the connection of any standard telephone (SLT). This 

FKDBS will only operate when the keyset is connected to an 8-port DLI card so that it can use the second 

B channel. Each port on this card is intended for connection to one telephone. 

Connecting multiple telephones to a port may result in incorrect operation or damage to the card. 

NOTE: The circuitry on a FKDBS does not provide a loop open disconnect signal or have the 

over-voltage protection necessary for OPX operation. 

Read “Installation Procedure”, below. 

KDB-FULL DUPLEX (FKDBF) 

The standard speakerphone mode of operation for an iDCS keyset is “half duplex”. This means that you 

cannot transmit and receive speech at the same time. Adding an FKDBF to your keyset will convert the 

speakerphone into full duplex mode, enhancing its operation. In addition, the FKDBF may have up to 

three external microphones attached to it for conference room type applications. These microphones require 

an “EXTMIC” key programmed on the keyset to activate or deactivate them (refer to the Samsung 

Combined Programming Manual for details). 

Read “Installation Procedure”, below.

9-2 Chapter 9 

Installing Keyset Daughterboards 

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 

The installation procedure is the same for all types of daughterboard. Always unplug the keyset line 

cord before installing a daughterboard. 

1. Place the keyset face down on a flat surface. 

2. Remove the base wedge by firmly pushing inwards from each side and pulling it off the retaining 

clips. (You may need to remove line and handset cords from their cable runs before doing this.) 

3. Remove the two knockouts marked “Expansion Module” on the base (Figure 9-1) using a flat-bladed 

screwdriver or similar tool. 

4. Position the daughterboard over the Expansion Module connectors on the base and push it onto the 

base. 

5. Secure the daughterboard onto the keyset using the screws provided. 

6. Replace the base wedge. 

If you removed cables from cable runs, replace them as required. 

(NOTE: Figure 9-1 shows the 24D keyset. The procedure is the same for all keyset types.) 

CONNECTING DEVICES TO iDCS DAUGHTERBOARDS 

There are two methods for connecting devices to keyset daughterboards. The simplest method is to connect 

a device (e.g. another keyset) directly by means of an RJ11 line cord using the jack on the daughterboard. 

(If connecting a single line telephone, use a line cord fitted with a mastering unit.) 

The second method is to use a multi-pair station cable, connecting separate station jacks to the first two 

pairs. A line cord can now be connected between the daughterboard and the second jack. This returns 

the daughterboard port to the MDF for cross-connection to another cable run.

9-3 

DCS KEYSET DAUGHTERBOARDS 

KDb-DLI and KDB-SLI 

These daughterboards can be installed only in the DCS (Euro) 12- or 24-button keysets, connected to a 

DLI card. 

1. Unplug the line cord from the keyset. 

2. Place the keyset face down on a soft surface. 

3. Remove the two knockouts marked “Expansion Module” and “Extra” on the base (Figure 9-2) using a 

flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool. 

4. Position the daughterboard over the Expansion Module connector and push it into the socket. 

5. Secure the daughterboard onto the keyset using the screws provided. 

CONNECTING DEVICES TO DCS DAUGHTERBOARDS 

There are two methods for connecting devices to keyset daughterboards. The simplest method is to connect 

a device (e.g. another keyset) directly by means of an RJ11 line cord to the “Extra” connector. (If 

connecting a single line telephone, use a line cord fitted with a mastering unit.) After connecting the line 

cord, secure it in place with the supplied clamping plate and screw. 

The second method is to use a multi-pair station cable, connecting separate station jacks to the first two 

pairs. A line cord can now be connected between the daughterboard and the second jack. This returns 

the daughterboard port to the MDF for cross-connection to another cable run.

Chapter 10 Software and Database 

Management 

SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT 

The iDCS500 operating software is stored on the SmartMedia card which is connected to the MCP card. 

The SmartMedia card has 16 Megabytes of NAND flash memory and is formatted with a custom format 

to allow faster loading, in a similar manner to a hard disk. In addition to the operating system, the 

SmartMedia card can carry operating software for the IPM board, the LAN board, the SCP/LCP cards 

(these two cards run the same software) and the TEPRI card. The SmartMedia card can also store a 

backup system database in addition to the operating software files. 

Software can be downloaded from the SmartMedia card to the cards listed above using MMC 818 and will 

be stored in the cards’ on-board flash memory. The cards will automatically reboot, load and run the new 

software when the download process is complete. 

Using PCMMC over a LAN connection to the system, the files can be uploaded to the SmartMedia card. 

The files are first uploaded to the LAN board on the MCP card and then transferred to the SmartMedia 

card. Once the files are loaded onto the SmartMedia card they can be manipulated with MMC 818 as before. 

DATABASE MANAGEMENT 

The customer system database is stored in super capacitor-backed RAM in up to three locations depending 

on the system configuration. In an M version system, it is stored only on the MCP itself. For features 

provided by the addition of a LAN board, their specific part of the database is stored on the LAN board 

itself. In an L version system, the customer database is split between the MCP card and the IPM board. 

For features provided by the addition of a LAN board, their specific part of the database is stored on the 

LAN board as in the M version. 

The database can be saved to the SmartMedia card using MMC 815, where it is stored as a single file. This 

save can be performed manually or the system can be programmed to save the database automatically at 

a designated time every day. Using PCMMC, the database can be downloaded from the system and 

stored on the PC or it can be uploaded from the PC to the system. The database uploaded from PCMMC is 

not stored in the SmartMedia card but is loaded directly into active memory.

Chapter 11 Adding Interface Cards 

to the System 

This chapter describes how to install interface cards in the iDCS500 system. It also explains how to calculate 

the number of DTMF receivers your system requires (the system “grading”) to operate correctly. 

INSTALLING INTERFACE CARDS 

While it is possible to insert and remove cards with the system switched on, it is recommended that the 

system be switched off whenever possible before inserting or removing cards. 

1. Remove the covers of the system cabinets in order to locate a suitable empty card slot. Having located 

a suitable slot, insert the new card into the slot and push firmly in the middle of both card ejectors to 


2. After inserting the new card(s), you must tell the system to recognize the new card(s). This is done using 

MMC 806 (“Card Pre-Install”) for each new card that is installed. 

3. The new card(s) must be assigned directory numbers according to the system numbering plan in MMC 

724. Make a note of the software port assignments of the new cards so the ports can be assigned the 

correct numbers. These software port assignments are shown in Figure 11-1. 

GRADING THE iDCS500 FOR DTMF RECEIVERS 

Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are used in the iDCS500 system as DTMF receivers. Different system traffic 

patterns may affect the availability of common resource DSPs. Calculating or “grading” these DSPs is 

required to ensure adequate system performance. There are four DSPs on each cabinet, and 12 on each 

MFM and SCM daughterboard. These common resource DSPs are shared and any card requiring a receiver 

will be able to make use of them. After a DSP receives the expected number of digits, it is released 

and then assigned to the next call. 

The following devices require DSP resources to receive DTMF digits: Analogue DID, Analogue E&M, 

Digital E1 DID, Digital E1 E&M, DISA trunks, 8 SLI, 8MWSLI, KDb-SLI, 16 SLI, and 16 MWSLI. 

How to Calculate the Number of MFM and SCM Daughterboards Required 

● Each interface card installed in the system has its own “MFMU” value (see table, below). These values 

are used to calculate the number of boards required. 

● There is a maximum of three SCM and MFM daughterboards in any system (one SCM and two MFMs). 

Note also that an SCM board is essential if more than six Conference channels are required. 

● Each cabinet (shelf) already contains four DSPs.


Adding Interface Cards to the System 

Card MFMU Values 

TRK B 8TRK PRI TEPRI 8BSI AC15 DLI 16DLI SLI

8SLI 16SLI BRI 8MWSLI 16MWSLI AA SVMi-8 / 

Cadence

To calculate your requirement: 

1. Add together the MFMU values of all cards in the system to obtain the “rate” as shown in the following 

table. 

Total MFMU Value Rate 

Up to 20 3 

20–40 4 

More than 40 5 

ITM3 

2. Use the following calculation to obtain a number between 0 and 3: 

((Total MFMUs / Rate – (No. of shelves x 4)) / 12 

Round up the result if necessary to obtain your number. This number then defines the number of 

SCM and MFM boards required according to the following table: 

Number Calculated SCMs Required MFMs Required 

0 0 0 

1 1 0 

2 1 1 

3 1 2 

(Note: the number of SCMs will be forced to ‘1’ if more than six Conference channels are needed.) 

Example Configuration: 

For example, you have a two cabinet (two shelf) system and require 160 single line ports. This gives a total 

of 160 MFMUs. The “rate” is therefore 5 (the total MFMU value is more than 40). Replacing these values 

in the above equation gives: 

((160 / 5 – (2 x 4)) / 12 

= 32 – 8 / 12 = 2 

From the above table, therefore, you require one SCM and one MFM.

11-3 

NOTE: 

1. The 4-circuit SLI card (4SLI) has four dedicated analogue DTMF receivers. One receiver is 

dedicated to each port on this card, and only this card. These analogue receivers cannot 

be used by any other system device. They are NOT a common resource. 

2. The AA card has eight DSPs that are dedicated exclusively for AA ports. They cannot be 

used for any other purpose. This ‘one DSP for each port’ ratio enables the AA card to answer 

eight incoming calls at the same time.

Mail Setup 

INTRODUCTION 

This chapter provides the additional steps required to set up the SVMi-8 or Cadence Voice Mail (VM) card 

to operate with the iDCS500 keyphone system. 


There are two LEDs on the VM card. The hard disk drive (HDD) LED will flash green whenever the drive 

is being accessed. The Activity (ACT) LED has various indications as defined in the table below.

SVMi-8 / Cadence software is running, one or more calls are in 

progress. 

SVMi-8 / Cadence software is initializing and is not ready to process 

calls. 

RESET BUTTON 

The red button marked RST is the reset button. Immediately after plugging in the VM card and turning 

the system power switch ON, you MUST press this button to initialize the card. (See the configuration 

procedure below). Pressing this button during operation will disconnect all callers to the VM system 

and restart the card. 

POWER REQUIREMENTS 

All the power to run this self-contained VM system comes from the phone system power supply. Each of 

the phone system power supplies are rated according to how many stations they will support. When the 

VM card is installed in the iDCS500, it counts as eight (8) stations of the PSU rating regardless of the 

number of voice processing modules installed. (Refer to your SVMi-8 or Cadence documentation for more 

details.)


SVMi-8 and Cadence Voice Mail Setup 

CONFIGURING THE SVMi-8 / CADENCE CARD 

Follow the steps below to configure your SVMi-8 / Cadence card. 

1. INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION 

Install the card as described in Chapter 4. The card should be labelled “SVMi-8” or “Cadence (VM8A)”. 

If it is not, you have the wrong card. Ensure that the system power is switched OFF before installing. 

2. POWER UP 

Complete installation of all other required system interface cards (as described in Chapter 4) and turn 

the system power switch ON. 

3. CONFIRM OPERATION 

Wait for the ACT LED to be either OFF or ON steady green. Either of these conditions indicates normal 

operation as defined in the table above. 

4. iDCS500 PROGRAMMING 

Perform the following programming steps. It is necessary to perform these now so that the VM system 

will be initialized accordingly. 

MMC 601: All VM ports must be assigned to group 549. 

MMC 601: 

MMC 207: 

MMC 751: 

Select either SEQUENTIAL or DISTRIBUTED ring mode. 

Set VM ports for VMAA use. This will be done automatically. You are just confirming at 

this point. 

If you are using VM for Auto Attendant, use MMC 406 to set the desired trunk(s) to ring 

group 549. 

If you are using VM for Voice Mail, make sure that all desired stations are forwarded to 

group 549. 

Select “NO” for each station that you DO NOT want to create a mailbox for. 

5. INITIALIZE VM 

Press the red RST button to read the new MMC information and initialize the VM card accordingly. 

TESTING THE HARDWARE 

1. Call each VM port individually and confirm that the VM system answers. 

2. Call group 549 and confirm that VM answers. 

If these tests are successful you have completed the installation and setup of the VM hardware. You are 

now ready to begin programming the Voice Mail/Auto Attendant system parameters. Refer to your Voice 

Mail documentation for programming procedures.
