Digital Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (Dss/Blf) Units - Inter-Tel AXXESS Administrator's Manual

DIGITAL DIRECT STATION SELECTION/BUSY LAMP FIELD (DSS/BLF) UNITS

Digital DSS/BLF Units are programmed to be used with specific Executive or Standard Digital
Keysets. The keysets are equipped with PC Data Port Modules (PCDPMs) and the DSS/BLF
Units are attached to the PCDPMs.
NOTE
database programming and equipped with PCDPMs.
Each single DSS/BLF Unit provides one-key access to up to 60 extension numbers. You can
use up to four DSS/BLF Units on a station to provide up to 240 keys. The numbers are pro-
grammed in up to 10 different arrangements using the DSS keymaps in the database. Each key-
map has four "pages" of layouts to accommodate four connected DSS/BLF Units. There can be
up to 20 DSS/BLF Units in the system, up to 4 on a single keyset.
Together, the lamps in the keys create a busy lamp field that indicates the status of the
resource (e.g., station, trunk, hunt group, or feature) assigned to the keys (unless the resource is
an off-node device). The LED indicator in the key indications are shown in the table below.
You can program a DSS key for an off-node device, but not for "wildcard" off-node exten-
sions. The keys will show lamp status for stations on the other nodes.
In database programming, DSS/BLF keys may also be programmed for direct access to other
resources (such as paging zones) or they can be assigned feature codes. Busy lamp indication
is provided to show the idle/busy status of the resource or feature. Note that programming a
DSS/BLF key as a resource does not always provide a transfer capability. For example, a DSS
key programmed for paging will not transfer a party to the paging system.

INTER-TEL AXXESS ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE – Issue 5.1, March 2000
Executive or Standard Digital Keysets with DSS/BLF Units need to be identified in
The associated resource is busy or all stations in the associated hunt group
are unavailable (in do-not-disturb, busy, or with hunt group remove
enabled). Or, the associated feature is on.
The station is in do-not-disturb.
The station has a call ringing in or a call is camped on to the hunt group.
(This option is programmable. If DSS ring flash is disabled, a call ringing
in to a station will show a solidly lit LED.)
The station is causing a STATION OFF-HOOK system alarm.
