Features
The DSS Consoles (110-Button: P/N 0890051 or
0890052; 24-Button: P/N 0890053 or 0890054)
gives a system phone user a Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
and one-button access to extensions, trunks and sys-
tem features. This saves time for users that do a lot
of call processing (e.g., operators or dispatchers).
The DSS Console simplifies:
•
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 Answer
The 110 button DSS Console also provides DSS Console Alternate Answer. This lets a system
phone user with a DSS Console quickly reroute their calls to a co-worker. When the user places
their console off-duty (by pressing the ALT. key), their calls route automatically to the pro-
grammed co-worker.
You can also program the DSS Console keys to store Function codes. This provides the DSS Con-
sole user with many of the features available on Programmable Feature Keys.
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. An
extension can, however, have both a 24-button DSS and 110-button DSS console(s) installed.
The 110-button console plugs into an ESIU port and is assigned to a system phone/DSLT in Pro-
gram 30-02. The keys are set in Program 30-03, each key has a function number and optional addi-
tional data. There are 200 keys that can be set per console, keys 1-100 are available when EXT.1 is
selected on the console and keys 101-200 are available when EXT.2 is selected.
The 24-button console plugs into any system phone via one of the adaptor sockets in the base of the
phone, it does not take a port on the system. The keys are set either via Program 15-07 or by service
codes 851/852 from the system phone it is plugged into. Each key has a function number and
optional additional data.
(A.) Changing flash patterns for DSS Consoles will also change them for Hotline keys.
(B.) When installing a DSS, the system must auto-detect the console in order for the LEDS to func-
