The Bogen Model MCDS4 is a 12-push­button, touch-tone type tel eph one
designed for use as an administrative
telephone in Bog en communi cations
systems. It incorporates an LCD display
panel and unique display menu system to
provide rapid, efficient and reliable control
over the system’s operational functions.

The MCDS4 also includes nine dedicat­ed function pushbuttons and three pro­grammable function buttons. The dedicat­ed functions include: Speed Dial of up to
10 frequently dialed numbers, Redial last

frequently called number or to activate one
of the system’s communications func­tions (alarm, external relay, etc.).

The MCDS4 provides five different ring
signals to distinguish call alert, normal,
urgent, emergency calls, and incoming
outside line calls. It is fully compatible with
the MCTC Board option and, when con­nected to a Multicom 2000 system’s
RS485 interface, can display the status of
the first 8 outside lines and hold status for
those lines.

The phone may be mounted on a wall or
desktop. It includes a pull-out number
index and a replaceable coil cord.
