[DSS] Button Add-on Module/DSS Console
[DSS] Button
The Direct Station Select [DSS] button can appear on both the DADM and DSS Console. Each DSS
button is associated with a particular station in your telephone system. It can be used to transfer an
outside call to the associated station or to make a direct call to the associated station. The [DSS] LED
lights steady red when the station associated with the [DSS] is ringing, busy on a call, or in the DND
mode; or when the associated station is idle, but all appearances of the station’s [PDN] are busy or in-
use by other stations. [DSS] buttons cannot call station [PhDNs], Distributed Hunt Group [DNs], or
ACD Groups.
Features
The LED colour indications and flash conditions described in these feature descriptions apply to both
the DADM and DSS Console model DDSS2060.
Calling a Station
To call a station’s [PDN] from either a DSS console or a DADM, press the [DSS] associated with the
station. A station call with a [DSS] can be made on-hook or off-hook, and with Voice First or Tone
signalling. After pressing the button, treat the call like any other station call made from a digital
telephone.
[DSS] LEDs indicate whether the associated station is idle or busy. The LED is steady red if the
station is busy or ringing, and is not lit if idle. If all the station’s PDN buttons are being used by other
stations, the DSS LED of the station is lit steady red, but the station may be idle. If the station is in the
DND mode, its DSS LED lights steady red.
