Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console

42 Section 3: Features
DSS Consoles provide one-
touch access to extensions,
trunks and system features.
The DSS Console gives a 34-Button Display or 34-Button Super Display user a Busy Lamp Field
(BLF) and one-button access to extensions, trunks, and selected system features. This saves time
for users that do a lot of call processing (such as operators or dispatchers). There are two DSS Con-
soles types: the 24-Button (P/N 80556) and the 110 Button (P/N 80555).

The system allows you to install 4 DSS Consoles maximum. In addition, System Load Factor may
further reduce the number that you can install. You cannot connect multiple DSS Consoles to the
same keyset. DSS Consoles do not use a station port and do not require their own power supply.
The system provides four unique DSS configurations (called blocks). If you want your DSS Con-
soles to have unique key configurations, assign them to different blocks. If you want your consoles
to share the same configuration, assign them to the same block. Note that DSS Console Personal
Speed Dial bins are the same as the extension to which the console is attached. This means that
DSS Consoles that share the same block number still have unique Personal Speed Dial.
You can assign DSS Console keys to the following functions:
• Call Coverage (immedi-
ate, delayed or no ring)
• Group Pickup (immedi-
ate, delayed or no ring)
• Hotline
• ICM Directory
• Message Center
