OVERVIEW
The SVMi-4 System
The SVMi-4 is a self contained plug in voice mail
and auto attendant card for the DCS compact
and DCS 50si. It is designed to meet the
demands of the sophisticated voice mail user
without sacrificing simplicity.
The SVMi-4 May act as an Auto Attendant system
only, a Voice mail system only or both.
Out of the box the SVMi-4 can handle 2 calls
simultaneously. It can be easily upgraded to
handle up to 4 calls simultaneously.
No external line or power connections are necessary, these are accomplished directly through
the phone system.
At this time of this writing the memory capacity is about 5 hours, although
changes in technology will allow for additional storage as time goes on.
General Description - Page 7
Auto Attendant
The SVMi-4 Auto attendant works by automatically answering calls and playing a
custom greeting to the caller along with some dialing instructions. The caller
may then press digits on the keypad to direct the call to the appropriate person
or department.
The SVMi-4 Auto attendant replaces or works in conjunction with your system
operator by answering calls with a pre recorded greeting, and offering the caller
a several possible dialing options including dialing another extension number,
transferring to an operator, access pre recorded information or connect to voice
mail.
Voice Mail
Voice mail provides a service if called stations are unavailable. Upon dialing an
extension number, callers may be routed directly to voice mail or transferred to
the extension first. The call may be forwarded from the station on conditions.
Each mailbox will answer calls with a custom greeting in the mailbox owners
own voice. The caller can then leave a message.
The mailbox owner can access the mailbox and retrieved the messages. Many
options are available to handle the message.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Unlike traditional PC based Voice Mail / Auto Attendant
Systems, the SVMi-4 has no moving parts. This adds to the
robustness and reliability. All the custom speech prompts
and callers messages are stored in digital form on static
memory. This memory is faster and more reliable than conventional disk drives.
Main Board (Included)
This is a self contained voice mail system on a plug in
card designed to work exclusively with the DCS Compact
and DCS 50si.
Memory (Included)
The memory unit consists of Compact Flash. The current
size of this memory is 64 MB. This allows for the operating program and all the prompt and message storage. The
memory for the SVMi-4 card is available only from SAMSUNG.

Upgrade Key (Optional)
The upgrade key is a small hardware device with some unique properties. When
it is installed in the SVMi-4 Card it increases the number of available ports from
2 to 4, and the number of mailboxes from 16 to 32. The SVMi-4 card can not
be expanded beyond 4 ports and 32 mailboxes. This upgrade key is necessary to
use the SVMi-4 in the DCS 50si.
The 2 port upgrade key for the SVMi-4 card is available only from SAMSUNG.

Feature Descriptions
SYSTEM FEATURES
Caller ID Compatible If you subscribe to central office based caller ID, the
SVMi-4 is compatible. Just as the Caller ID data appears on DCS keysets, so the
same information is saved in your voice mail box for each message you receive.
This can be used for call back or simply to identify the caller.
Expandable The SVMi-4 can be easily field upgraded from 2 ports and 16 mailboxes to 4 ports and 32 mailboxes by using a hardware upgrade key. This
upgrade doubles the call handling capabilities of the system.
Keyset Display and Soft Key Support If you have a DCS display keyset the
number of new messages will be displayed on it. The display will also echo
many of the options available. You will be able to negotiate through the SVMi-4
menus using the Keyset display and the soft keys below the display to respond
to the prompts.
MOH Supply Music or announcements may be recorded in the SVMi-4 Memory
and used by the DCS phone system for music on hold. The recorded announcement or music will play in a continuous loop and may be used to provide custom on hold announcements or promotional messages.
General Description - Page 16
Proprietary Design The SVMi-4 is designed to work specifically with the DCS
50si and the DCS compact. This allows tighter integration with the phone system and allows for enhanced features like Call Record and Answer Machine
Emulation and Display and soft key support not normally available third party
voice mail / auto attendant systems.
Recordable System Prompts Although the SVMi-4 contains all the spoken
prompts to provide an operational system, some people may want to add or re
record some prompts. This can easily be done using the built in voice studio.
Synchronized Clock The SVMi-4 clock is responsible for providing each message with a date and time stamp, changing between day and night modes is
always synchronized with the phone system.
AUTO ATTENDANT FEATURES
Alphabetic Directory Callers who do not know an extension number in the
system but do know a name, may enter the first few letters of the persons name
and be transferred. This system may even be used internally if an extension
number is not known.
Audiotext You may use the SVMi-4 to supply a recorded announcements or
audiotext message to callers. Audiotext allows you to provide information only
General Description - Page 17
without giving the option to record a message. An example of this might be
directions or movie times.
Auto Attendant Routing The Auto attendant can transfer or route callers
based on the digits they enter. Callers may be transferred to station, groups or
the system directory to select a subscriber based on their name
Automatic After Hours Answering The Main Auto Attendant greeting for the
SVMi-4 changes from the day to the night greeting automatically when the
phone system changes from day to night mode.
Camp On Support Each station user on the system may decide if they want
the SVMi-4 to transfer additional calls to them if they are on the phone. Calls
transferred to a busy station, if unanswered will be sent to voice mail or any
other destination according to the users needs.
Direct to Mailbox You may have mailboxes on the SVMi-4 system that do not
have associated stations. This is ideal if you have a small number of employees
in your office but numerous employees outside the office that need to keep in
contact.
Holidays and Special Events When your business closes because of a Holiday
or special event the SVMi-4 can provide a special appropriate greeting to your
callers.
General Description - Page 18
Incoming Call Overflow The SVMi-4 may be programmed to answer any or all
lines immediately or answer only the calls that your operator does not pick up.

not necessary to listen to all the options if you are a ‘power user’ and know
what you are doing.

simultaneously, with the upgrade key installed.
Operator Access Callers may connect with an available operator any time by
dialing 0.

your voice mail box through the speaker of your DCS keyset. In function it is
very much like screening a call on your home answer machine.

you as the caller and ask for your password (optional). The benefit of this is
that you do not have to identify yourself to the SVMi-4, it knows who is calling
