The DSX-40 represents the next generation of DS Series platforms from NEC, and is designed for residential and small commercial applications, including home offices. It has the advantage of a built-in auto attendant which can be a real advantage for the SOHO application. The DSX-40 system shares station equipment, IntraMail voice mail, and programming design with the DSX-80/160 .
Notable system features include:
- Built-in 2-port automated attendant, with multiple line greetings, and customizable dial action tables.
- Built-in caller ID information that can be logged at each extension and that can be sent to analog phones with caller ID capabilities.
- Workgroup features such as Call Coverage, Extension Hunting, Group Call Pick-up and Multi-Party Conference
- Intuitive system programming via DSX telephone or the System Administrator software, which is available for free download, from the DSX support website (link to www.necdsx.com)
- Optional DSX IntraMail voice mail / automated attendant that provides more advanced automated attendant features than provided by the built-in auto attendant. Available in either a 4-port x 8-hour, or 8-port x 16-hour configuration.
