DX-120 Installation and Maintenance Manual OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Vertical DX-120 is a fully digital hybrid key telephone system. The DX-120 uses a mix of “loop start” central
office (telephone company) line interfaces and digita l lines such as T1 or ISDN (T1-PRI), along with a mix of analog
and digital extension ports to provide office communications and connectivity to the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).
The DX-120 delivers a vast array of office productivity features and telephone use enhancing features, including
Caller Identification (requires telephone company subscription), in the standard package. Unlike most systems that
support Caller ID, the DX-120 supports Caller ID to DX-120 proprietary digital extensions and to third-party, Caller
ID capable analog devices (cordless telephones, etc.)
Although most features are standard, the DX-120 provides for several optional features to further enhance office
communications. Built-in voice processing integration packages include:
• Automated Attendant
• Four port, Flash-based Voice Mail/Auto Attendant (expandable to 8 ports)
• Four port, Hard drive-based Voice Mail/Auto Attendant (expandable to 8 ports)
The DX-120 platform allows you to use these voice processing platforms without losing valuable system port
resources.
The DX-120 is comprised of an application config ured, exp andable Key Service Unit (KSU) platform. There is one
fully-featured Digital Executive Telephone (DET) that delivers access to all system functions. The system
architecture provides an expandable interface for digital port growth and analog port growth. The basic
configuration supports both device types. Analog ports might be used for plain old telephones, fax machines,
modems, etc. The DX-120 is designed to meet the telecommunications needs of small-to-medium business
offices.
System Technology
• The DX-120 incorporates state-of-the-art digital technology for voice switching and call processing, using
Pulse Code Modulation and Time Division Multiplexing (PCM/TDM).
• The DX-120 is a non-blocking switch, with no loss or degradation of voice signals.
• The system is stored-program control and uses a ARM7 main microprocessor and peripheral devices
(extensions and CO lines) in a distributed processing configuration.
• Memory consists of 640K bytes of ROM (Read Only Memory) and 384K bytes of RAM (Random Access
Memory). The RAM is lithium battery protected.
• The maximum system configuration is 16 loop start, 24 digital lines, 88 extensions (80 digital and 8 analog)
and 8 voice processing channels.

VOICE PROCESSING MODULES
The DX-120 provides several voice processing (or voice mail) options. The optional voice processors that you can
add to the DX-120 are fixed system resources that do not require peripheral device ports (analog or digital). This
significant advantage means that the DX-120 VP options can be added to any DX-120 configuration without “port
loss” thus eliminating the ill effects of reducing the overall capacity of the system when the voice processor is
connected. Because the DX-120 doesn’t use conventional peripheral port s to interface the VPs, we refe r to the VP
connectivity in terms of “channels.”
• AAM (Automated Attendant Module): The AAM provides four channels for automated attendant operation
only. The AAM is then capable of handling four calls simultaneously. Callers answered by the AAM are
greeted by one of four greetings associated with the DX-120 mode of operation (Day / Evening / Alternate /
Temporary). Various other announcements are also included for caller processing, refer to the DX-120
Technical Manual, Volume II, Programming for fu rther details.
• 7271C (Flash-based, four port VM with Automated Attendant): The 7271 provides four channels for
automated attendant and voice mail operation. The 7271 is equipped to support up to 100 voice mailboxes
and 3.2 hours of message storage (including the various greetin g announcements).
• 7270C (Hard Drive-based, four port VM with Automated Attendant): The 7270C provides four channels
for automated attendant and voice mail operation. The 7270C is equipped to support up to 2000 voice
mailboxes and 150 hours of message storage (including the various greeting announcements).
• 7273 (Four port expansion card): T he 727 3 is added to th e 7271 C or 7270 C to increa se the tot al nu mber of
voicemail ports from four (4) to eight (8).
NOTE
• For details on installing the 7271C and 7270C refer to the Corporate Office DX
Installation Instructions.

OVERVIEW DX-120 Installation and Maintenance Manual
Power Supply
The power supply circuitry of the DX-120 incorporates a linear design AC transformer with a choice of input
voltage. The voltage selector switch is shippe d set for 117vac applications; you can also set this switch for 230vac
applications. Since the power supply is linear in design, the output voltage varies between 21.6vdc and 32vdc
depending on load and stability of the input voltage. The output voltage is delivered to the 408M (in KSU1, 408E in
KSU2) for voltage regulation. All system operation and logic volt ages are produced at the 408M/E.
Voltage Selector Switch
• Two fuses are equipped on the power supply board, one for AC input over-voltage
protection and one for DC output over-current protection.
• A main power switch is accessible when the KSU cover is in place. In the event
battery backup operation is desired the KSU power cord can be connected to a
external (ancillary) UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply).
IMPORTANT!
It is your responsibility to match the battery requirements/UPS requirement to the
specific needs of the equipment owner. To determine the battery requirement
needs and UPS requirement, see see “Specifications” to find the current draw
and necessary Amp/Hour back up support that the battery/UPS must supply.

DX-120 Installation and Maintenance Manual OVERVIEW
CPM (Central Processor Module)
The CPM module is equipped standard in KSU1. This board contains all circuitry required to control the fully
equipped DX-120. The system uses the CPM to perform all digital voice switching and call processing data
switching.
The CPM has one ribbon cable connector for connection to the KSU1 408M and six (6) connector sockets for
connection of the system built-in modem, voic e pr oc essor, and second cabinet (KSU2). Since the CPM comes
installed inside of KSU1 the CPM ribbon cable is already in place and connected to the KSU1-408M J5 socket.
Assuming the orientation of the KSU1 cabinet is inst alled on the wall; the two horizontal connector sockets in the
upper right corner of the CPM are for the MDM (Modem Module). The connector socket labeled “2nd Cabinet” is
for connection to theKSU2/408E if that expansion is required. The remaining two connector sockets on the CPM,
one at the left side, the other at the right side are for the voice processor solution.
NOTE
The voice processor solution can be any of three possible choices: AAM, 7271C,
or 7270C.
• The CPM also provides the following standard connectors:
- Music Channel 1 - On Hold/Background Music Interface
- Music Channel 2 - On Hold/Background Music Interface
- Control Contact (Loud Bell / Door / External Page Control)
- External Paging Equipment Interface
- RMP Serial Port - for onsite PC-DBA system database programming
- SMDR Serial Port - for connection to ancillary SMDR/Call Accounting equipment
- T1 or ISDN (T1/PRI)
• The CPM has two option strap jumpers one for d atabase st art-up (JE1 ) and one for music cha nnel one source
(internal/external) selection (JPC1).
- JE1 Cold Start/Normal is used to force load database default factory settings. This jumper will normally
never require operation af ter the in itial power up sequence is completed. However should the need ar ise
to return the site database to the factory settings this jumper is used to perform a cold start.
- JPC1 Internal/External is used to select the Music Channel 1 source. The DX-120 provides a
synthesized music source for music on hold, in applications where no music source is available. The
synthesized tune is repeated. JPC1 is in the “EXT” (i.e, external) position when it ships from the factory.

PC-DBA is included in the utilities CD shipped with every new system. Or, you
can obtain PC-DBA at the Vertical web site, www.vertical.com.
