Affordable and Reliable NEC designed the DSX with affordability and scalability in mind.
Since DSX is simple to install and easy to use, the expenses of configuration, programming, and post-installation
training are minimized. Over a decade of intense feature development ensures that the core DSX call processing
features are mature, efficient, and reliable – yet intuitive and easy to use.
Now with VoIP Install DSX IP keysets on-premise in a managed network or off-site in a remote office.
Choose between two types of DSX IP extensions: the 34-Button Backlit Display and the 34-Button Backlit Super Display.
These feature-rich IP keysets offer the same features as their digital counterparts, have Full Duplex speakerphones, and
are quick to set up in an IP environment. Compliant third-party SIP phones, soft phones, and Analog Telephone Adapters
(ATAs) are also supported.
Innovative NEC takes the lead with state-of-the-art innovations sure to make your business communications
more efficient, profitable, and enjoyable. The DSX telephone superior styling is an attractive addition to any work
environment. All models feature a built-in speakerphone, two-position angle adjustment, and built-in wall mounting.
Enhanced models also offer a backlit display and illuminated dial pad.
Innovations don’t stop with the DSX telephones. Right out of the box, the system has a built-in Automated Attendant
which can answer incoming calls, play a greeting, and allow callers to dial extensions and departments directly without
operator assistance or additional equipment. Also built-in is the ability to record a custom message for callers on hold.
DSX is sized right – from the economical DSX-40 to the DSX-80/160. To maintain the value of your investment, all DSX-80
cards can be migrated to the DSX-160. Even when growing from the DSX-40, your investment in IntraMail, programming,
telephones, and other station equipment is retained.
IntraMail The ability to add voice mail is built into the system and only requires a compact flash card to
activate. IntraMail is a full-featured Voice Mail Auto Attendant system that will greet and transfer incoming callers and
record voice mail messages. With built-in voice prompt guidance in English, Spanish, and French, IntraMail is a great fit
in multilingual environments. From 2 to 8 voice mail ports are available and easily upgraded through licensing.
Some of the advanced features of IntraMail include:
Message Center – Notify groups of extensions of important messages with visual
indication using a message center key.
Directory Dialing – Dial a name instead of a number to reach your party.
Message on Hold – Record your own informative company message.
Caller ID – Caller information is verbally provided with a voice mail message.
Message Notification – You can receive a call - anywhere - when a new message arrives.
Conversation Record – Save and record your conversation with the touch of a button.
Live Call Screening – Listen as callers are leaving you a message and pick up only the calls you want to answer.
Park and Page – Allows a caller to page you without operator assistance. You can pick up the call from any extension.
Sophistication Simplified

the caller’s number. Select from a list of choices

To Analog Ports – Caller ID information can be sent to

Built-in Caller ID (with Call Waiting) The capability for Caller ID (with Call Waiting)
is inherent in every DSX system. With Caller ID, you can identify incoming callers before the call is answered. The
caller’s name and number (if available) will appear simultaneously in the display.
Office Administrator PC Program An office supervisor can quickly
customize basic system features from their PC with the WindowsTM-based Office Administrator. This includes the Time
and Date options, important extension feature and voice mail options, and Speed Dial numbers. These features can also
