Planning Form Instructions
Under the "DLC Automatic Hold" heading on Form 6a, do one of the
f o l l o w i n g :
Check "Disable" to keep the factory setting.
Check "Enable" to enable the feature.
Use these instructions only if the system has Direct Station SeIectors
(DSSs) connected to digital/lSDN (MLX) operator consoles.
Operators use the buttons on a DSS for one-touch automatic dialing (Auto Dial)
of station extension numbers. Each Auto Dial button may be assigned up to
three different extension numbers, and the Page buttons determine which
extension is dialed when an Auto Dial button is pressed.
If the operator presses the first Page button, the console is set to dial the first
group of extensions assigned to the Auto Dial buttons. If the second Page
button is pressed, the operator reaches the second group of extensions
assigned to the buttons, and the third Page button dials the third group of
extension numbers.
Set the three Page buttons to reach ranges of numbers that include the
extension numbers in the station numbering plan and reflect the number of Auto
Dial buttons available.
If one DSS is connected to an operator console, set each Page button for a
range of 50 numbers (matching the 50 available Auto Dial buttons).
If two DSSs are connected, set each Page button for a range of 100
numbers. The Page buttons then control 100 Auto Dial buttons; 50 on each
DSS.
Note: If two DSSs are used, the Page buttons on the second selector are not
active.
For example, if your numbering plan contains extensions in the 100-149 and
200-294 ranges, and only one DSS is connected, set the first Page button to
begin with extension 100 (the range includes extensions 100-149), the second
Page button to begin with extension 200 (the range includes extensions
200-249) and the third Page button to begin with extension 250 (the range
includes extensions 250-294). For a console with two DSSs connected, set the
first Page button on the console to begin with 100 (the range includes
extensions 100-1 99) and the second Page button to begin with extension 200
(the range includes extensions 200-294).
Note: 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.
