Direct Station Selection (Dss) Console - NEC SL1000 Features And Specifications Manual

ISSUE 1.0

Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console

Description
The DSS Console gives a multiline terminal user a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and one-button access to
extensions, trunks, and system features. This saves time for users that do a lot of call processing (e.g.,
attendants, operators, or dispatchers). The DSS Console simplifies:
• Calling extensions and door boxes
• Placing, answering and transferring outside calls (Needs to assign keys)
• Making an External or Internal Page (Needs to assign keys)
• Switching the Night Service mode (Needs to assign keys)
The DSS Console also provides DSS Console Alternate Answer. This lets a multiline terminal user with
a DSS Console quickly reroute their calls to a co-worker. Transferred and dial 0 calls ring both DSS
Consoles and, if the VRS is installed, the main operator hears the message, "Your calls have been
forwarded". Central office calls ring both consoles and no message is heard by the operator.
You can also program the DSS Console keys to store Service Codes (up to 36 digits long). This
provides the DSS Console user with many of the features available on One-Touch and Programmable
Feature Keys. The DSS Console keys can optionally store additional associated digits after the
Service Code. For example, if they are Trunk Group 1 ~ 9 then storing 80401 under a DSS Console
Key access Trunk Group 1 when the console user presses the key. If they are more than 9 Trunk
Group it will be 80401 .
The maximum number of consoles allowed per system is 12.
