DICTATION SYSTEM ACCESS
Description
Permits access to, and control of customer-owned dictation equipment by voice terminal
users.
Dictation systems may be connected either via single-line voice terminal ports (the
preferred method) or via auxiliary trunk ports (if the dictation equipment requires a
separate contact closure for proper operation).
The dictation system is accessed by dialing a
PDC oppressing a DSS button.
Considerations
Allows users to access and control shared dictation equipment.
Interactions

access code. This allows an outside caller to access the dictation equipment.

Requires a port assignment on a ZTN78 Tip Ring Line or TN742 Analog Line CP. A
port on a TN763 Auxiliary Trunk CP must be used if the dictation equipment
requires a separate contact closure for proper operation.
Voice Terminal: (Station Port)
Assign DSS access buttons as desired.
Hardware Requirements
Customer provided dictation equipment
Port on a ZTN78, TN742, or TN763 CP, as required.
