Conditions
†It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that CO line connections are made in such a 
way that proper CO Hunting will sequence from the first CO line button to the last, in 
order on key telephones.
†Typically, the Telco service provider provides lightning protection on the premise at 
the service entrance.
†Test each CO Line at the MDF for dial tone, correct ringing sequence, Telco number 
assignment and polarity.

If incoming CO lines hunt from a main telephone number and are also used for outgoing 
(both-way CO line) service, always prioritize the incoming line order so that the last choice 
incoming trunks appear on the higher number CO line positions. This is because the system 
automatically selects idle trunks for outgoing calls, by searching from CO line 12, to CO line 
11, and so on to CO line 1. This technique may avoid a head-on or glare condition where a 
user trying to place an outgoing call inadvertently answers a ringing line.

7. Station Cabling 
Floor plans should be developed to aid in proper station cabling in a star (home run) 
configuration from the KSU. The cables are run from the station locations to the STN 
block at the MDF. 
Both ends of each cable should be labeled with the stations circuit number. The circuit 
number designates the station port position in the KSU.
When the system is initialized, the intercom numbers are assigned in order from Port- 1 
(intercom number 10) to Port-24 (intercom number 33) as each Module is installed. Refer 
to Figure 2-19: Wiring Designations for 3 x 8 Modules.
Running Cable
From the MDF location, run unshielded, 3-pair (6-conductor) twisted cable to all key 
telephone locations and DTMF single-line telephone locations. 
Follow these guidelines:
†Install proper type cable for the application according to the National Electrical Code 
and local building codes.
†Avoid cable runs parallel to fluorescent light fixtures or AC lines not in conduit. If 
these obstacles are unavoidable, run the cables across them at right angles.
†Do not run station cables inside electrical conduit already occupied by AC wiring. ( To 
do so is a violation of the National Electrical Code).
†Do not run station cables near equipment with electric motors or through strong 
magnetic fields, such as those generated by large copy machines, arc welding 
equipment, heavy motors, etc.
†Do not place station cables where they can be stepped on or where they can be 
rolled over by office furniture.
†If using multi-pair (25-pair) cable runs to multiple station locations do not include AC 
ringing single-line sets, AC-ringing auxiliary equipment, or CO lines in a cable being 
used for key telephones. Key telephones should always be isolated in separate 
dedicated cable runs.
†Do not exceed the measurements for the station cable lengths (using 26AWG wire) 
listed in Table 2-6: Maximum Cable Length.
Use shielded cable if RFI/EFI is expected.
It is recommended that a minimum of 3-pair cable and a minimum of 4-conductor modular 
jacks be used for all station connections. 
						

							2-40DHS Installation
Terminating Cables at Station Locations
At each station location, terminate station cables on 4-conductor modular jack 
assemblies. Although only one pair is required for key telephone operation, the second 
pair is wired through to the ADP jack for a variety of applications at the desktop. For 
exception, refer to Table 2-13 .
 
Do not mount the modular jack assemblies on the wall at this time. They will be wall 
mounted later when the station instruments are installed.
8. Key Telephones Installation
Key telephones may be mounted with three different orientations: Low Profile Desk 
Mount, High Profile Desk Mount or Wall Mounted. Packaged inside each key telephone 
carton are the following components:
†Key telephone
†Key telephone handset
†7-ft. line cord
†4-in. line cord (for wall mounting)
†12-ft. handset cord
†Small base-wedge mount assembly
†Large base-wedge mount assembly
Remove the components from the carton and determine which mounting components 
are required. Most telephones are installed with both mounting wedges.

Cable Conductor Jack Wire Color Designation
White/Blue Green Telephone voice and 
data XT lead
Blue/White Red Telephone voice and 
data XR lead
White/Orange Black ADP Jack Tip lead
Orange/White Yellow ADP Jack Ring lead
Since the digital station equipment is not polarity sensitive, reversing the digital telephone 
pair has no affect on operation. The Station Interface circuits are current-limited and are 
not fused.
The two wedge mount assemblies (large and small) are affixed at the factory. This 
configuration is used for High Profile Desk Mounting. 
						

							DHS Installation2-41
High Profile Mount 
For the High Profile Mounted position, reference the illustration below and attach the 
Base Mount wedges.
Figure 2-20: High Profile Mount
1. The small wedge is always used for the various telephone mounting positions. 
2. The small wedge has locking tabs at one end and hooks at the other end used in a 
hinging fashion.
Wall Mount
When the telephone is to be Wall Mounted:
Figure 2-21: Wall Mount
1. Remove the two small screws that secure the small and large wedges together.
2. Store the larger wedge for possible use later (the large wedge is not used when wall 
mounting the key telephone). 
						

							2-42DHS Installation
3. Position the smaller wedge as in the illustration at the right for wall mounting. Once 
in position, the smaller wedge and key telephone bottom housing provide for 
standard 630 type wall mount wall jacks.
Low Profile Mount
When the key telephone is to be desk mounted in the Low Profile position:
Figure 2-22: Low Profile Mount
1. Remove the two small screws that secure the small and large wedges together.
2. Store the larger wedge for possible use later (the large wedge is not used when 
mounting the key telephone in the Low Profile position).
3. Position the smaller wedge as illustrated below.
When using the Low Profile mounting position, it is important that the line cord be 
channeled through the slots in the telephone bottom housing, such that the smaller 
wedge locks them in place when in position.
Key Telephone Modular Jacks
Each key telephone has two modular jack connectors on the underside of the instrument. 
Both are located in a recessed connector cavity. When the telephone is held so that the 
rubber anti-skid feet are downward (no mounting wedge installed), the modular jacks 
face one another in the cavity. The modular jack at the left side of the cavity is theADP 
connector and may be connected to an analog device at the desktop. The ADP jack is only 
active when connected for operation at the MDF. The modular jack at the right side of the 
cavity is the KSU jack and should be connected to the wall jack and station cabling for 
connection to the system KSU (refer to Figure 2-23: Key Telephone Modular Jack Locations). 
						

							DHS Installation2-43
Figure 2-23: Key Telephone Modular Jack Locations
†ADP Jack - When wired at the MDF, the second pair of the telephone line cord/cable 
will activate this jack for any analog device function. This jack and wiring are 
completely independent of the key telephone operation and may be used for system 
resources. This is not FCC listed.
†KSU Jack - Connect the station cable line cord here. Two pairs are provided. The first 
pair is all that is required for telephone voice and data. The second pair is looped to 
the ADP jack for use of analog devices at the desktop.

9. SMDR/SMDA Output Device
The output device or the Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) must meet the 
requirements and match the RS232C pin-out described below. The Option Module is 
required for SMDR operation.
†The SMDR port baud rate is programmable from 110 to 19,200 BPS.
†The Data Format is: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, No parity bit.
†Connection of the SMDR serial port to a computer for call accounting is often 
relatively simple, since a straight-through cable will typically mate the devices. 
†The SMDR serial port output is one way to the printer or other call accounting device.
KSU Connection
To connect an output device to the KSU:
1. Match the baud rates on the output device and the system. 
2. Turn ON the AC power to both the device and the system before connecting the 
RS232C cable to Port-2 on the KSU. This prevents any electrical surges from being 
transmitted by the interface.
3. Carefully connect the RS232C DB-9 male end of the interface cable from the device to 
the SMDR RS232C DB-9 female connector located at the bottom edge toward the left 
of the Option Module.
DSS Owner:
bksp              next                  chg
The KSU end is considered DCE and printer or call accounting device is DTE.
The RS232C cable connecting the SMDR device to the KSU must not exceed 50 ft. in length.

10. Connecting and Programming Caller ID
The purpose of this service is to provide calling party identification to the dialed party. 
This information can be the calling party’s phone number, name, or a combination of this 
information. The information is delivered in between the first and second ring. The 
system can use this information to: Provide LCD information to stations receiving calls, 
maintain a list of unanswered calls for call back via the caller ID information. 
When Incoming Caller ID is to be used with the DHS  it is necessary to use the caller ID 
box. The caller ID box must be connected to the DHS system ICLID/PC Programming port 
using the Caller ID Cable. The caller ID box collects data at each CO line to be used for 
Incoming Caller ID and passes the data to the DHS system for processing. Each DHS  CO 
line port must be programmed for the associated caller ID box port in customer database 
programming. 
The caller ID box module is connected to the DHS system via the ICLID/PC programming 
port on the Option Module. Consequently, the PC programming port cannot then be 
used for PC-based programming and Incoming Caller ID data collection simultaneously. 
When all hardware connections are complete, adjust the caller ID box option switches for 
1200 BPS operation. Program the DHS system PC Programming port for 1200 BPS 
operation. A proprietary cable can be ordered (refer to Table 2-5 ), or you can use a 
standard null modem.

11. External Paging Equipment (Optional) 
The system provides a one way paging output at the KSU from the Option Module when 
installed. An 1/8 in. phono jack (refer to Figure 2-25) labeled J3 EXT PAGE is provided for 
connection to an external paging amplifier. The input specifications for the external 
paging equipment should accept a 600 ohm and 0 dBm interface.
Figure 2-25: 1/8 in. Phono Jack
Installation 
Install the external paging equipment as follows:
1. Cut a length of shielded cable to run from the amplifier to the KSU.
2. Attach a 1/8 in. male phono plug to one end of the cable.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the high impedance input according to the 
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Connect the paging speaker(s) to the amplifier using speaker cable.
5. Plug in the amplifiers AC power cord. (DO NOT use the same AC outlet being used for 
the KSU).
6. Insert the 1/8 in. phono plug into the jack labeled EXT. PAGE located on the bottom 
edge of the installed Option Module. The Ext. Page phono jack on the Option Module 
is the center-right phono plug (refer to Figure 2-26: External Paging Equipment 
Installation).
7. Set the paging amplifiers volume control to the lowest setting and turn ON the 
external amplifier.
8. From a station location, make a page by lifting the handset, and dialing [F] + [501], 
the external page feature code.
9. Adjust the amplifier to the desired level while announcing the page.
10. PAGE VOL may be adjusted to lower the output signal in the event it is to strong for 
the connected amplifier input (over-driving input).
