Calling a Station
➤ To call a station’s extension from a DSS console, press the DSS associated with the
station.
A station call with a DSS Button can be made on-hook or off-hook, and with Voice
First or Tone signaling. 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 Do Not Disturb mode,
its DSS LED lights blinking red.
Transfer to an Idle Station
You can transfer internal or outside calls to an idle station from a DSS console.
➤ To transfer a call to an idle station
1. Press the DSS button corresponding to the station to be called.
The call is placed automatically on hold. The Line LED flashes at double the on-
hold rate, and the DSS LED flashes green. You hear a single ring tone. (If using the
Tone signaling mode, you hear successive ring tones.)
2. Announce the call.
With Tone signaling, you would have to wait for the called station to answer before
announcing the call.
3. Hang up.
The call rings the called station when you hang up. While the called station is
ringing, the DSS LED is steady red, and the Line LED flashes at the on-hold rate.
