Section 3: FeaturesProduct Description 673Direct Station Selection (DSS) ConsoleDescriptionThe DSS Consoles (110-Button: P/N 0890051 or0890052; 24-Button: P/N 0890053 or 0890054) gives akeyset user a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and one-buttonaccess to extensions, trunks and system features. Thissaves time for users that do a lot of call processing (e.g.,operators or dispatchers). The DSS Console simpli-fies:Calling extensions and Door Boxes Placing, answering and transferring outside calls Making an External or Internal Page Switching the Night Service mode Activating DSS Console Alternate AnswerThe DSS Console also provides DSS Console Alternate Answer. This lets a keyset user with a DSS Con-sole quickly reroute their calls to a co-worker. When the user places their console off-duty (by pressing theALT. key), their calls route automatically to the programmed co-worker.You can also program the DSS Console keys to store Service Codes codes (up to four digits long). Thisprovides the DSS Console user with many of the features available on One-Touch and ProgrammableFeature Keys. The DSS Console keys can optionally store additional associated digits after the ServiceCode. For example, storing 8141 under a DSS Console key accesses Trunk Group 1 when the consoleuser presses the key.The maximum number of DSS Consoles allowed is 32. There is no limit on the number of 110-but-ton DSS consoles per extension, but an extension can have only one 24-button DSS console. Anextension can, however, have both a 24-button DSS and 110-button DSS console(s) installed.24-Button DSS: DSS/DLS Service CodeUsing Programming Function Keys, you can determine whether the keys on a 24-button DSS console(P/N 0890053 or 0890054) are used as DSS (direct station selection) or DLS (direct line selection) keys.To prevent lamping problems when reassigning DSS Console keys, it is recommended that you clear anextension's programmed key before reassigning it (Program 30-03: Enter key to be cleared + FLASHkey). Without clearing an extension's key first, your DSS Console may not show the correct lamping,although the DSS function will work correctly.If you are programming the system from the extension to which the DSS Console is connected, either byphone or using the PC Program, you may need to unplug the DSS and plug it back in to reset the con-sole's lamping.Aspire• Available• 32 110-Button DSS consoles maximum• 256 24-Button DLS Consoles maximum (1 per extension)
