Direct Station Select (Dss) - Siemens ROLMphone 120 Series User Manual

Direct Station Select (DSS)

Direct Station Select (DSS) lets you monitor and automatically dial or
answer an extension. The status light next to the DSS (D-) key on your
phone indicates whether that extension is idle, ringing, or busy.
Whenever someone is calling that extension, the status light next to the
DSS key on your phone blinks. Your phone may also alert you to such
a call with a single beep, if it has been set up at the communications
server to do this. When a call is in progress on the DSS extension, the
status light turns on steadily.
When the DSS key status light is off, you can dial the DSS extension
by pressing the DSS key. When the DSS key status light is blinking,
you can answer a call ringing at the DSS extension by pressing the
DSS key. When the DSS key status light is on, pressing the DSS key
will place a call to the busy extension. This call will automatically
queue until the party becomes available. (See "Busy Standby
Queuing" on page 3-4.) Before you can use this feature, you must set
up an extension to be associated with your DSS key.
