D I R E C T S T A T I O N S E L E C T L O N ( D S S ) - AT&T SYSTEM 25 User Manual

Direct Station Selection (DSS)
This feature allows you to place a call to a specific inside
station by pressing an assigned button. Two types of Direct
Station Selection can be administered to the console:
• Fixed DSS, which is programmed by the System
Administrator (this type is provided for numbers that
are called by all or many system users).
• Flex (flexible) DSS, which permits you to program any
inside numbers you want on buttons assigned for this
purpose.
Your DSS calls to other stations use the same loops as
other outgoing calls from the console. If the called party is
busy, you can activate a Busy-to-Idle Reminder. DSS calls
from other stations ring at your <LOOP> buttons. Unlike
Automatic Intercom, DSS does not require that the called
station have a corresponding button to answer the call.
For instructions on how to store Flex DSS numbers, see the
feature section titled Programming Numbers.
Placing a Call Using DSS
1. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press <DSS> or <FLEX DSS>.
Activating Busy-to-Idle Reminder
1. Do not lift the handset.
2. Press <DSS> or <FLEX DSS>.
• Your terminal will ring once when the other
person hangs up, and your call will be placed
automatically when you lift the handset.
