1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides a general description and operation procedures for MFC98 Console with V136
Software installed. Since the operation and programming procedures are different in different version
software, the information in this manual may not be matched if the console is not installed with related
version system software.
The MFC98 Operation Manual is divided into the following sections:
•Introduction
•Major Features
•MFC98 PC Interface Card with MFC98 Software
•Console Hardware
•Prepare the Console
•Console Setup Mode
•Attendant Console Mode
•Management Mode
•Programming Mode
•Diagnostic Mode
•SMDR Display Mode
•Power Down Arrangement

DX-1S DIGITAL PABX - MFC98 Manual

2. MAJOR FEATURES
2.1 MULTIPLE CONSOLE
DX-1S System supports multiple consoles operation. The system can support up to 16 MFC-1S / MFC98
Consoles and all consoles can operate concurrently.
2.2 MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS
MFC98 Console can be an attendant console, programming console or maintenance console for DX-1S
System. Maintenance persons can change the console function by switching the console to different
operation mode. No additional wiring or programming is required. It provides the flexibility and cut down
system cost while console can be in multiple purposes.
2.3 OPTICAL ISOLATED INTERFACE
The optical isolated serial interface technology is employed in the interfaces of DX-1S System and MFC98
Consoles. This interface has great advantage compare with traditional RS-232C serial link. Since the
grounding signal of DX-1S System is optical isolated from all the consoles, i.e. no electrical connection,
any interference between the ground of different hardware and any data lost during transmission could be
avoided. The surge voltage induces in one device will not spread over the whole system. Eventually, the
whole system will not be collapsed.
2.4 POWER DOWN ARRANGEMENT
Any one of MFC98 Console can be shut down for maintenance purpose or save energy in non-busy hours,
other consoles will not be affected.
2.5 REMOTE ADMINISTRATION
Besides connecting to DX-1S directly, MFC98 is also capable to connect DX-1S remotely via modem.
After the remote connection is established, MFC98 become a system console as if it is connected directly.
With the exception of Attendant Console Mode (due to no console extension is available), remote mode
MFC98 can perform all the of DX-1S system console tasks.
2.6 OTHER FEATURES
MFC98 is a multi-function console for DX-1S System. The console can be the Attendant Console,
Programming Console and Maintenance Console for the system.
When MFC98 operates in Attendant Console Mode, it will have the following functions:
•System Status Display
•Busy Lamp Field
•Clock Display
•Extension Status Inquiry
•Incoming Call Identification
•Attendant Operator Call Processing. E.g. Call Transfer, Call Hold, Call Answering, etc.
When MFC98 operates in Management Mode, the operator can set the features for any extension, e.g.
Wake Up Service, Message Waiting, Call Forwarding, etc.
When MFC98 operates in Programming Mode, the console becomes a Programming Console of DX-1S
System to program the system parameter for different features.
When MFC98 operates in Diagnostic Mode, the console becomes the Maintenance Console of DX-1S
System to input the diagnostic command to diagnose system hardware for maintenance purpose.
There is SMDR Display Mode in MFC98 Console. This mode allows console to act as a display terminal
to display SMDR information for call monitoring. The console can also save the SMDR data to file for
future reference or Call Accounting purpose.

2.7 DIFFERENT METHODS TO CONNECT DX-1S
MFC98 is capable to connect DX-1S in three different methods, which provide greater flexibility for
different system configuration and also make remote administration possible. The three modes are:
•connect via MFC98 PC Interface Card
•connect via Remote Interface Module (RIM-1S)
•remote connect via modem.
2.7.1 CONNECT VIA MFC98 INTERFACE CARD
This is the simplest method and most cost-effective way in connecting MFC98 to DX-1S. After the
MFC98 PC plugged in an MFC98 PC Interface Card, it can connect directly to DX-1S.
2.7.2 CONNECT VIA REMOTE INTERFACE UNIT (RIM-1S)
This method do not require an MFC98 PC Interface Card, a PC is connecting to RIM via RS-232C serial
port (COM1 or COM2). Then RIM connects directly to DX-1S.
This method is suitable for a PC (e.g. Notebook computer) which cannot plug in an MFC98 PC Interface
Card.
2.7.3 CONNECT REMOTELY VIA MODEM
This method is connecting MFC98 to DX-1S using two modems and one RIM. MFC98 connects to a
standard modem at COM1 or COM2 and then dial to DX-1S. On the DX-1S side, DX-1S connects to RIM
and RIM connects to another standard modem to receive the call from MFC98.
This method is mainly for remote system administration.
2.7.4 OPERATION DIFFERENCE IN DIFFERENT MODE OF CONNECTION
Users are required to edit the SETUP.INI in MFC98 program directory for MFC98 to select the mode of
connection used. Please refer to section 4.8 CONSOLE CONFIGURATION FILE for detail description of
editing SETUP.INI file.
Besides the connecting procedure, the operation of MFC98 is independent of the method of connection. In
the following of this manual, discussions will base on the first connection method – Connect via MFC98
PC Interface Card. For details of connecting via RIM and modem, please refer to the RIM-1S manual.

3.1 HARDWARE ASSEMBLY
MFC98 PC Interface Card includes the following hardware and software:
Assembly Include Qty
MFC98 PC Interface Card Installed 1
4-Core Cable with RJ -11 Modular Jack 1
MFC98 System Software Installation Disks 1
Table 3-1 MFC98 PC INTERFACE CARD ASSEMBLY
3.2 DESCRIPTION
The MFC98 PC Interface Card is an optical isolated serial port card. It is installed in a standard PC station
to form a Console for DX-1S. The console system transmits or receives the system data through the PC
Interface Card to communicate with DX-1S System. Since the communication port in the card is optical
isolated, it prevents the surge which induces in the console bus to damage the system.
The MFC98 System Software Package includes Console Software Diskettes and Reset Software Diskette.
The Console Software is to operate the console. The Reset Software is used to reset the Console Setup
Mode Password to default value in case the user had programmed his/her own password when they are
lost.

can also work with MFC98. When using MFC-1S PC interface card with MFC98 console software, ALL
console service status in DX-1S (programming item 110) must set to 1. Beside the slightly difference in
hardware setup, the PC station hardware requirement and MFC98 setup procedure are the same.
•Setup Hardware Interrupt Level (JP1, the jumper block to set interrupt level).
•The default hardware interrupt level (IRQ) is 7; PIN1, PIN 2 and PIN 6 are shorted.

4.5 COM PORT SETTING OF MFC98 PC INTERFACE CARD
The MFC98 PC interface card acts as a special COM port card to communicate with the DX-1S digital
PABX. It is recommended to configure the MFC98 PC interface card to IRQ = 7, Address = COM4
(02e8). This is also the factory default setting of the PC Interface Card.
After inserting the card to PC, it also requires adding the COM port in Windows 98 Control Panel.
In Control Panel select Add New Hardware then follow the instruction to complete the installation.
(Detailed information about adding new hardware in Windows 98 please refers to Windows 98 manuals).
It is recommended to check any hardware conflict after adding the COM port.
4.6 SOFTWARE SETUP
1. Exit all open applications and insert the MFC98 installation disk 1 into floppy drive.
2. Click the START button and select RUN
3. Type your floppy drive letter, followed by :\setup
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the MFC98 installation.
4.7 BEST SCREEN RESOLUTION
It is recommended to use 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 screen resolution for MFC98, otherwise it cannot display
in full screen mode. It is also recommended to use small fonts for best visual effect.
4.8 CONSOLE CONFIGURATION FILE
MFC98 software requires an initialization file, SETUP.INI which is a plain text file containing the setting
of MFC98 program. So, it is required to check / change the SETUP.INI file before the first execution of
the MFC98 program. The passwords in the SETUP.INI file should be modified by MFC98 SETUP MODE
and the other items should be modified by a text editor. The SETUP.INI file is located at the MFC98
program directory or user can edit it by click on SETUP in the START | PROGRAM | MFC98.
If the file is not existing, MFC98 will use its default value for operation. For connecting MFC98 via RIM-
1S, this file must exist. The following table shows the fields and their description in SETUP.INI.
