The DSX-40 is a telecommunications system designed for small to medium-sized businesses, offering a range of features for managing internal and external communications. This demo kit quick start guide outlines its basic installation, default features, and initial programming steps.

Function Description:

The core function of the DSX-40 system is to provide a centralized platform for telephone communication. It supports multiple extensions (up to 315 in the default configuration), allowing internal calls between users and external calls via connected telephone lines. The system integrates with an IntraMail voice mailbox system, providing each extension with its own voicemail. It also features a built-in capability to simulate outside lines for testing and demonstration purposes, by looping analog stations to lines 1 and 2. The system is designed to be user-programmable, allowing customization of line ringing, line access, and feature keys to suit specific business needs.

Important Technical Specifications:

System Components: The primary components include the DSX-40 Cabinet, an 8-Conductor Cable (P/N 80891), and an Adaptor (P/N 80890).
Power: The system requires a dedicated AC outlet and should be connected to electrical service ground. A surge protector is recommended for power input.
Line Types: By default, all lines are configured as loop start DTMF. This can be changed via programming (3101-01: Line Type).
Extensions: The system supports various extensions, with default ringing on lines 1-8 for extensions 300-315. Other extensions are lamp-only for lines 1-8 by default.
IntraMail: Each extension has an IntraMail voice mailbox enabled by default. Mailbox types can be disabled via programming (2141-01: Station Mailbox Type). The IntraMail Automated Attendant does not answer outside calls by default.
Software Updates: Users are advised to check www.necdsx.com for the latest system software updates. The software level can be checked by pressing INTERCOM and dialing # * #*.
Programming Access: System programming is accessed by pressing INTERCOM + Dial ## + Enter the system password + HOLD. There are three levels of system passwords: Installer (level 3) - 632379 (NECDSX), System Administrator 2 (level 2) - 9999, and System Administrator 1 (level 1) - 0000.

Usage Features:

Placing Outside Calls: Keyset users can place outside calls by pressing a line key and dialing the outside number, or by pressing INTERCOM, dialing 9, then dialing the outside number. Line Dial-Up and Direct Line Access are disabled by default.
Line Ringing Customization: Line ringing can be customized using User Programmable Features code #RAL or via programming (2132-[01-64]: Line Ringing).
Line Access Control: Each extension's incoming and outgoing access to lines can be controlled via programming (2131-[01-64]: Line Access). Options include no access (0), incoming access only (1), outgoing access only (2), and full access (3).
Feature Keys: By default, Feature Keys 1-12 are line keys, and Keys 13-24 are undefined. These can be customized.
Simulating Outside Lines: The system has built-in loops that connect analog stations to lines 1 and 2, simulating outside lines for demonstration or testing without requiring actual external line connections.
Making Lines Ring (Demo): To make Line 1 ring, press INTERCOM and dial 324. To make Line 2 ring, press INTERCOM and dial 325.

Maintenance Features:

Software Updates: Regular checks for software updates on www.necdsx.com are crucial for maintaining system performance and accessing the latest features.
Password Management: The system allows for changing default system passwords to enhance security. Users should refer to the "System Programming Password Protection" feature in the full Hardware Manual for details.
Hardware Manual: The quick start guide emphasizes that these instructions are for reference only and that the system should not be installed without first reading the comprehensive Hardware Manual. This suggests that the Hardware Manual contains detailed maintenance and troubleshooting procedures.
Circuit Type Assignment: Proper assignment of the correct circuit type to each installed line (e.g., loop start) is a fundamental maintenance step during initial setup, ensuring correct line operation.
Backup and Copy Functions: The mention of "Using 902x-Copy may save you time" in relation to line access and ringing settings suggests the system has features for copying configurations, which can be useful for efficient maintenance and deployment across multiple extensions.
