Revision D
1.1The Encore System is a versatile and easy-to-use telephone system with the following
features:
•Can accommodate up to eight loop-start lines and up to 18 extensions
•Has modular construction that allows it to be upgraded by adding various system
expansion cards
•Can operate with system Keysets or standard single-line telephones
•Has remote access and maintenance capability
•Encore Keysets have a simple-to-use, menu-driven interface
1.2Your Encore system consists of the wall-mounted Key Service Unit (KSU), to which
line and extension connections are made.
1.3The Encore System’s modular design allows it to grow as your customer’s business
grows. No matter what size system you start with, you can expand up to the maximum capacity. The base system includes either two or four loop-start line and up to six extension connections. By adding system expansion cards to these base systems you can have up to eight loopstart lines and up to 18 extensions.
1.4The system Keyset has a large display area that features an intuitive menu-driven interface. Display Keys activate the features that are shown on the keyset’s display. It is not necessary to dial any feature codes when using the Keyset. This makes the system easy to use and
saves you time.
1.5You can choose to use system Keysets or single-line telephones at each extension, and
you can change the combination at any time. A Doorphone is also available that can be programmed to ring at any extension. Optional equipment includes a doorstrike, a long-line extension, a central bell, external music-on-hold, and system Call Logging module and software.
1.6The Encore System is extremely flexible. You have the choice of operating the system
as either a key system where all users have direct access to all lines for making and receiving
calls, or as a PBX with all calls being answered by an operator, or as a combination of both.
1.7The Encore is easy to install and maintain. The system can be programmed and maintained remotely using the Remote Management Software. With this software, the system can
also be configured to report alarms to service personnel.

3.SYSTEM HARDWARE
3.1The system Key Service Unit houses a CPU and a power supply unit. The CPU pro-
vides six extension interfaces but does not include any line interfaces; at least one Line card is
required for line interfaces. The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) area of the CPU contains the
connection points for all required extension and line cabling. (See page 2-7 for cabling information.)
3.2The CPU also acts as a connection platform for all system expansion cards, as shown
below. The system expansion cards are as follows:
•Extension Card: Each Extension Card provides interfaces for six extensions and a con-
nector for a Line Card. You can install up to two Extension Cards for a total of 12
extensions, in addition to the six extensions provided by the CPU.
•Line Card: This card provides interfaces for two loop start lines. You can install two
Line Cards on the CPU and one on each of the Extension Cards for a total of eight lines.
•Voice Messaging Module: This card provides up to 80 minutes of voice storage. When
installed, a system Answering Machine can be enabled and each extension can be provided with a voice message box. The Voice Messaging Module is also required to provide a personalized greeting in the Courtesy and Auto Attendant services.
