Direct Station Selection (DSS) Buttons (Hotline) Features
Direct Station Selection (DSS) Buttons (Hotline)
This optional feature enables you to use a
DSS
button to connect directly to another station’s [PDN].
The DSS LED shows the status (idle/busy) of the station and/or the station’s [PDN]. For example, a
station’s DSS button LED shows busy (light steady red) when the station is:
♦
busy on a call on any button or is in the DND mode.
♦
idle but all appearances of the station’s [PDN] are in use by other stations.

Do Not Disturb (DND)
If your station is in the DND mode, internal, external and transferred calls do not ring your station and
OCA calls are denied. You can continue to make calls while in the DND mode.
If your [PDN] or [PhDN] appears on other stations, calls to your [PDN] or [PhDN] flash on your
station and flash or ring the other stations. This enables your calls to be answered at the other stations
(or yours), even while your station is in the DND mode.
Your “alert partner” telephone can override DND and signal your telephone by pressing
Alert
Signal
. Telephones with DND Override can also call and mute ring your telephone.
