The use and definition of each DSS button’s LED depend on the extension
represented by the button and on whether the operator position is used for normal
call handling, calling group or CMS supervisory operation, Extension Status in
Hotel configuration, or message status operation. See
for additional information.
Normal Call-Handling Operation
9
Normal call-handling operation is active when the position is not in Message
Status or Extension Status operation. The DSS buttons are used for one-touch
dialing of extension numbers. When a button for a telephone extension, calling
group extension, or paging group extension is pressed, the extension number is
dialed automatically. In Hybrid/PBX mode, an operator can either select a specific
pool or dial the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) code by pressing the DSS
button for a pool dial-out code or ARS code. If, before lifting the handset, an
operator presses a DSS button for any of the extensions or codes mentioned
above, the speaker is turned on automatically and an SA or ICOM button is
selected.
An operator can also use a DSS button to activate a feature that requires an
extension number, for example, Barge-In, Conference, Send/Remove Message,
Forward (including Remote Call Forward), Follow Me, Leave Message, Reminder
service, and Transfer. To do this, the operator presses the Feature button, dials
the feature code, and then presses the DSS button for the extension number.
The result of pressing a DSS button while on a call depends on the type of
operator position, the type of button pressed, and whether the system is
programmed for one-touch Hold or one-touch Transfer, as described in
and
. For a QCC operator position, see
