Testing your connection to the DCB Plus
Go offhook with the phone you are using in the TEL port. See if the DCB Plus shows the Call Progress
Timer on the lower line of the display, ex. 0:01, 0:02, etc. before attempting programming. If so, then
you should be able to see the prompt "Enter Code" when you take that phone offhook again following the
prompt "Pick Up Phone" when entering programming. If you don't see the prompt "Enter Code", then
you are using a phone not directly connected to the TEL port of the DCB Plus.

Creating your own Invited Caller list
If you want to block all callers and invite only specific numbers, you can use Code 97 # * to disable
the default Global Invited List and create your own invited call list using Codes 50, 52 or 60. See
Programming Numbers - Invited, VIP and Blocked. The DCB Plus comes from the factory Inviting every
caller except No Number calls and OPX type calls which are automatically hung up on, so you just enter
those callers you want to block using either the Block button on the front panel as the calls come in or if
you already know the caller's number, you can enter it with programming.
First Ring Suppression
When a call comes in, the phone company's Caller ID information will display on all phones connected
to the telephone line but the DCB Plus will suppress the first ring to the TEL phone port to
prevent it from ringing and receiving Caller ID. If the caller is an Invited caller then the Caller ID
information will display on the next ring to the phones connected to the TEL phone port thereafter. This
stops unwanted Caller ID information from being received by the phones connected to the DCB Plus TEL
phone port. If you want to hear the first ring, enter programming: press and hold the Program Button
for 3 seconds until you see "Program Mode", then "Pick Up Phone", when the prompt for "Enter Code"
displays enter 71. This code will allow all rings and all Caller ID information to be received by phones
connected to the TEL phone port.
programming: when the prompt for "Enter Code" displays enter 70, display shows function.
