Direct Station Selection (Dss); Distinctive Led Indicator - Toshiba IP EDGE Description

Features

Direct Station Selection (DSS)

Pilot DN
A Pilot DN is a pseudo-location that is assigned a DN where calls may be directed. Unlike
PDNs and PhDNs, a Pilot DN is not a button on any telephone. A Pilot DN is used as a
device where calls can ring and be held while an external application using the Computer
Telephony Integration (CTI) can control the call. To ensure calls do not get lost in the
IPedge Net, a time-out and overflow service is provided to redirect the call when the link
is down. Calls being held on the Pilot DN using the CTI link can specify any of the 15 on-
hold music sources that are possible on the IPedge Net.
Pilot DNs are also assigned to Station Hunt Groups (for details, refer to Station Hunting).
Direct Station Selection (DSS)
Direct Station Selection DSS buttons can be placed on IP telephones, add-on modules, and
DSS consoles. When placed on one of these devices, these buttons serve two functions: to
make direct calls or transfer calls to other stations; and to display the status of other sta-
tions and PDNs.
The DSS button is numbered with a station's PDN and when pressed, calls that PDN. DSS
buttons are not DN buttons, so they do not provide a dial tone when pressed. The DSS but-
ton's LED shows the status of the station and the PDN it represents (idle, busy, DND or
ringing). The DSS' LED will turn on steady or flash at a unique rate, depending on the sta-
tus (refer to the DSS Button Status Display list below).
The DSS LED displays the telephone's status for any type of call on any button, including
PhDN and
the PDN appears as a Secondary DN (SDN) on multiple telephones, the DSS status will
display Busy if any telephone is using the SDN.

Distinctive LED Indicator

Distinctive LED indicators provide a method for quickly identifying the status of a line or feature
button. The LED color or flash pattern can identify the call you are currently on, as well as other
calls you are controlling, versus other calls that may appear on your telephone. Each telephone
uses dual-color LEDs: green for lines you are using; red for lines used by someone else.
