Figure 3–10. Direct Station Selector
Ten fixed-feature buttons with green lights are at the bottom of the DSS. The first
three (from left to right) on the top row are Page buttons, which you use to select
the range of extension numbers represented by the DSS buttons. Each DSS
button can represent up to 3 extension numbers, and each set of 50 extension
numbers is called a page. The DSS can have up to 3 pages of numbers, for a total
of 150 extensions handled by one DSS. If the console has two DSSs, only the
Page buttons on the first DSS are used.
Page buttons act like the Shift key on a PC or typewriter. Each of the 3 Page
buttons activates a set of 50 numbers. For example, the Page 1 button may
access extensions 1 through 50, the Page 2 button may access extensions 51
through 100, and the Page 3 button may access extensions 101 through 150.
If two DSSs are connected together, the total extension capacity of the console
increases to 300. Each Page button then handles a range of 100 extensions
across both DSSs. If your system has more than 150 extensions and you want
access to all system extensions through DSSs, you must have two DSSs.
