Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console

Description
The DSS Consoles (64-Button, 24-Button) gives a system phone 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., 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
You can also program the DSS Console keys to store Function codes. This provides the DSS Console
user with many of the features available on Programmable Feature Keys.
The maximum number of 64 button DSS Consoles allowed on the system is 9. Each XN120 unit can
have 3 64-button consoles.
An extension can have one 64-button DSS console assigned.
An extension (display system phone only) can have one 24-button DSS console connected.
An extension can have both a 24-button DSS and 64-button DSS console installed.
Installation of the Consoles
The 64-button console plugs into an XN120 main/expansion unit or a 308/008 card. It must be
connected to port 8 of each unit/card. Each console will take a port on the system. The console is
assigned to a system phone in Program 30-02. The keys are set in Program 30-03, each key has a
function number and optional additional data.
The 24-button console plugs into any system phone with a display via the adaptor socket 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.
Refer to the XN120 Getting Started Guide 991409-5 for detailed instructions for the consoles.
Conditions
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
function correctly. When connecting the DSS to an extension previously defined with another
circuit type, undefine the circuit type (enter 00 in Program 10-03 for the extension number),
then connect the DSS Console.
C) To program the keys on a 24-Button DLS in Program 15-07, use the extension number to
which the DLS is installed and, regardless of the type of system phone connected,
start
programming the DLS keys at key number 23.
