Direct Station Selector

Use these instructions only if the system has Direct Station Selectors (DSSs)
connected to MLX operator consoles. Otherwise, skip to the section,
''Group-Assigned
This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions assigned
to the Page buttons, and for renumbering the extensions for Park, so that the
extensions fall within the Page button ranges.
DSS Page Buttons
This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions assigned
to each of three Page buttons. The three Page buttons should be set to reach
ranges of numbers that include the extension numbers in the extension
numbering plan (including non-local extensions if the system is in a private
network configuration) and reflect the number of extensions available:
If one DSS is connected to an operator console, set each Page button for a
range of 50 numbers (matching the 50 available extensions).
If two DSSs are connected, set each Page button for a range of 100
numbers. The Page buttons then control 100 extensions, 50 on each DSS.
Planning Form Instructions
In the Page Buttons table under the Direct Station Selector heading of Form 6a
(page 1), write the beginning extension for the range of the 50 or 100 extension
numbers for each Page button. Assign the lowest extension numbers in the plan
to the first Page button, the middle range of numbers to the second Page button,
and the highest extension numbers to the third Page button. (Use the information
from Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks to assign the range of
extensions for each Page button.) Also, record this information on Form 2d under
the DSS Page Buttons heading.
Park Zones
This section contains instructions to enable operators with a DSS to have
one-touch use of Park. The system automatically reserves eight extensions
(881 888) for system operator park zones; only system operators can use these
park zone extensions to park calls. Consider changing these factory-set
extensions to numbers that fall within the Page button ranges. The same
considerations apply as those used during reassignment of extension numbers.

NOTE:
If two DSSs are used, the Page buttons on the second DSS are not
