DEFINITY ECS Console Operations Quick Reference
■
DXS/BLF buttons — These are known as the direct extension select/busy
lamp field (DXS/BLF) buttons. They are used with the hundreds group
select buttons to place calls to extensions and to determine the status of
extensions.
— If the lamp is dark, the extension is idle.
— If the lamp is lighted, the extension is in use.
— If a station has the Send All Calls feature active and is busy, the
lamp remains steady until the station is no longer busy. At that time,
the lamp goes to a flashing mode.
■
DXS hundreds group select buttons — These buttons on the DXS selector
console are assigned the first digit or the first two digits of each group
of 100 extensions. For example, if you have extensions numbered
from 7000 to 7099, there will be a button labeled
70
.
Status lamps
The buttons on the console have status lamps associated with their use. These
status lamps come on, go off, or flash as you use the console features. When the
lamps come on, the feature is active. When the lamps go off, the feature is
inactive. When the lamps flash 3 times, you cannot access the feature at this time.
There are also some status lamps not directly associated with buttons, and they are
located next to the dial keypad.
■
Calls Waiting — This lamp lights when there is one call in the queue.
■
Calls Waiting Warning — This lamp lights when the attendant calls waiting
in queue limit has been reached. When this happens, any administered
backup telephones are alerted. The queue limit is an administrable value.
■
Individual Calls Waiting — This lamp lights when a call is made to the
console’s individual extension number and the call is in queue to be
answered.
■

local procedures if this lamp is lit.

dial up the remote maintenance center, report the alarm, and the

remote alarm reporting is not available.
