NEC DTERM Telephones
The NEC IPS had a variety of handset ranges, each with loads of different terminals, some specific to certain territories, and some making their way across borders mysteriously! All terminals are generally considered very ‘american’ for some reason – chunky but strong and rarely had any inherant design flaws.
Nearly all handsets had a 2-way full-duplex speakerphone, a range of useful feature keys and a headset jack port. Most terminals sold in the UK were display models, with a set of programmable buttons which lit up when used for certain features. Some people referred to these buttons as ‘jelly keys’ because they looked a bit like clear Jelly!
Most people in the early days had an E Series handset, which came in white or grey, and was very sturdy – but very square!
Later, along came the I Series handset, which came in black and silver only. An extra MIC key was added, along with Directory and Phonebook buttons, which rarely were made to do anything useful.
