Understanding Your DSS

Fixed Page Buttons
Press the fixed Page buttons to change the page
of telephone numbers accessible to your DSS. The
green light turns on next to the Page button that is
active. If you have one DSS, Page 1 accesses the
first 50 extensions, Page 2 accesses the second
50 extensions, Page 3 accesses the third 50
extensions. If you have two DSSs, Page 1
accesses the first 100 extensions, Page 2
accesses the second 100 extensions, Page 3
accesses the third 100 extensions.
Message Status Button
When Message Status is on, the red lights next
to the DSS buttons turn on for extensions with
messages from system operators. Messages from
other sources (such as co-workers and fax
machines) do not cause the red lights to turn on.
The green light next to the Message Status
button turns on when the button is pressed to
tell you that the lights on the DSS are showing
Message Status. Pressing the button again turns
off Message Status and the green light.

(see pp. 10–12)

loudspeaker system (see p. 22)
• Numbers for parking calls to the system operator park zones (see p. 22)
• Pools and lines for monitoring the pools' current status
