Installing a DSS Console
The DSS Console gives a keyset user a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and one-
button access to extensions, trunks and system features. Keep the following
in mind when installing DSS Consoles:
You can only connect DSS Consoles to Super Display or 34-Button
Display telephones.
A DSS Console does not require a separate station port – it connects
directly to the keyset.
A maximum of 4 DSS Consoles per system is allowed.
• If you enable an extension's DSS Keys and leave the extension's default Prime
Line programming intact, the line keys automatically change to DSS keys when
the user lifts the handset. To avoid confusion, be sure to explain this to your users.
• You may prefer to use the Call Coverage Keys or Hotline features instead.
Remember, in addition to providing one-button Intercom access and Transfer, Call
Coverage Keys also provide call pickup capability.
To install a DSS Console:
1. Turn the telephone upside down and remove the plastic filler plug from
the DSS modular connector.
2. Plug the DSS Console's 8-pin modular line cord into the telephone's
DSS connector.
3. Plug the other end of the 8-pin line cord into the DSS Console's 8-pin
jack.
4. If you have a 24-Button DSS Console, attach the metal plate to both the
DSS Console and telephone as shown.
Programming DSS Consoles:
1801: DSS Type
For the extension to which you have connected the DSS Console, enter
1 for 24-button, 2 for 110-button and 0 for unassigned.
1801: DSS Block Number
For the extension to which you have connected the DSS Console, enter
the number of the block that corresponds to the connected console. A
block is a unique DSS Console assignment. The system provides up to
4 blocks; one for each console.
Your consoles can share the same block if you want them to have the
same programming. They will still have unique Personal Speed Dial
numbers, since a DSS Console uses the Personal Speed Dial for the
extension to which it is attached.
1704: DSS Console Key Assignment
Program the DSS Console's keys. Refer to the software manual for
additional programming details.
