Installing DSS/BLF Consoles

The digital telephone system supports the installation and use of a DigiTech DD32X or Impact
IB64X consoles at any available station port. The number of installed consoles is limited only by
port availability; however, since a console complements a companion telephone located in an
adjacent station port, you can use up to one-half of the available station ports for consoles. In
addition, with the dual console feature (discussed later), a full two-thirds of the total station port
capacity is available for console use.
You can assign two consoles to one telephone, each taking its own station port. This feature is
especially useful with DigiTech DD32X consoles and a G1632 system that has one or two
GM408 expansion modules included with it. This dual console feature allows a station user to
monitor up to 48 stations from one station location using 32-button consoles.
Install the first console at the station port that is logic-paired with the station that you wish to
complement. Install the second console at any station port except 10 or 11 and, using class of
service programming, assign it to the same station port that is logic-paired with the first console.
You can install the DSS/BLF console at any station port and assign it to a station without first
installing a console at the station's logic-paired port if you wish. This configuration is
convenient for adding a console to an existing telephone installation that already has its
logic-paired port occupied; however, do not use this configuration for assigning a console to
station ports 10 and 12 because the console buttons will not be usable for programming. As
discussed above, this feature is also useful for adding a second console to a station that already
has a paired console installed with it.
The digital telephone system automatically recognizes a console when you connect it to a station
port and automatically assigns the station intercom numbers to the console buttons for direct
station selection (DSS) purposes with associated busy lamp field (BLF) status lights. However,
the console buttons are fully programmable and the station user can customize them as he or she
sees fit by programming them as DSS buttons or as automatic dialing (autodial) buttons. When
the user programs the buttons for DSS use, autodial capability is also available at a secondary
level at each DSS button.
