Installing the DSI with Auxiliary Equipment You can connect auxiliary equipment such as loud ringers or lamps to the AUX EQPT sockets in the DSI. With the DSI, they provide additional signals about the status of the lines on the MBS. The Dees Stinger 24, Model198, or Model126 is fully compatible with the DSI. See page 26 for instructions on how to control auxiliary equipment. The following illustration shows how to attach the Stinger 24.
5. Plug the barrel connector of the power supply provided with the DSI into the POWER socket on the DSI. 6. 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. The following illustration shows the auxiliary equipment jack in details. Auxiliary Equipment Jack Front View Internal View Fig.
Part 5 Programming the DSI
Configuration 0 Clear Memory or Factory Default Setting Configuration 0 is used to clear the DSI's non-volatile memory and return the unit to factory default setting which is as follows: DSI on Ringer on Tone selection Normal MBS All configuration options are turned off. Action 18 Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply.
Configuration 1 Monitoring Off-Hook Busy 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 or other device is activated. If the MBS is equipped with the "make busy" feature, DSl can be configured to close those contacts when the "makebusy" feature has been activated regardless of which key on the MBS is assigned to the "make busy" feature. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply.
Configuration 2 Second Call or Intercom Alert Tone Amplification The MBS uses a two second tone (or splash tone) to identify certain types of calls. For example: A second incoming call if off-hook An intercom call The "ring again" feature Sometimes this tone is not loud enough. The DSI can be configured to provide a louder tone through its own speaker. When the DSI's internal speaker rings, contacts will close to power auxiliary equipment connected to the AUX EQPT jack on the DSI.
Configuration 3 Simultaneous Ringing on lines that are programmed to ring 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 also be activated. Remember, in this configuration the DSl will ring only if the lines on the MBS are programmed to ring. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming.
Configuration 4 In this application, the DSl can be configured to ring on any line or group of lines when the MBS is on-hook. 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. Step 2: Press the * and then press 4 Step 3: On your dial pad depress the numbers that correspond with the line keys you wish to ring. See fig. 1, page 6 Step 4: Press # 1 to enter this configuration.
Configuration 5 Set Busy Off-Hook 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. This configuration can be used to provide normal ringing instead of the splash tone that normally identifies a second incoming call when the user is off-hook. Note: This application will be very useful if you wear a headset. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply.
Configuration 6 Distinctive Tone Selection The DSI is equipped with an internal electronic ringer capable of providing 5 different tones in either single or double ringing format. Tone selection is accomplished through the dial pad of your MBS. Even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8 and 0) activate a single ring and odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) activate a double or split ringing cadence. Ringing may be previewed during the programming sequence after * 6 has been pressed.
Configuration 7 MBS Add-On Module 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 off-hook. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming. Step 2: Press the * then press 7 Step 3: Press 1 to activate this feature. Press 0 if you wish to deactivate this feature. Step 4: Press # 1 to enter this configuration.
Configuration 8 Controlling Auxiliary Contacts (External Ringers or Lamps) 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 by contacts in the DSI. You can set the DSI to disable auxiliary equipment during Day Service. Disabling Auxiliary Equipment for Day Service If you wish to reserve auxiliary equipment for Night Service only, activate this feature.
Configuration 9 Message Waiting Alert Tones 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 displayed on the MBS as the DSI will not recognize it if it is on the addon module. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and then reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming. Step 2: Press the * Step 3: Press 1 then press 9 1 to enable contacts.
Configuration 10 Hold Reminder Alert Tones 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 seconds. If a line has been put on hold at any station and the line appears on the programmed station the Hold Reminder ringing will be activated. On the MBS any or all lines may be programmed to ring. On an add-on module either all or no lines can be programmed to ring.
Configuration 11 Hold Detect 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 a lamp or other remote indicator to show a call has been put on hold. Action Step 1: Apply power or disconnect and reapply. The LED will flash rapidly and you have 20 seconds to commence programming.
Linking Configurations DSI may be programmed so that several configurations can operate at the same time. This is called linking configurations. Since the complete configuration string used to link multiple configurations may be lengthy depending on the application, we suggest that once you have determined which configurations are to be linked, you write the string down. This will lessen any confusion. Linking is accomplished in the configuration mode.
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. The LED will flash rapidly. Step 2: Press the * then 2 then 1 Step 3: Press the * then 4 then 3 Step 4: Press the * then 6 then tone selection 8 then * Step 5: Press # 1 to enter this configuration.

Part 6 Operation
Operating the DSI Day to Day 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 the # key and a single digit code with the MBS on-hook. Ensure that the DSI is in the ready state with the LED light on steadily. The DSI will deliver visual and audible confirmation.
Operating Night Service The DSI can operate in two separate modes: Day Service and Night Service. This section of the User Guide describes 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. For Night Service, the auxiliary equipment is commonly a loud ringer. You cannot set any options for Night Service, it always works the same way.
