FLEX DSS

Direct Station Selection (DSS)

DSS buttons allow numbers to be stored in the memory system so you can make calls without dialing the digits. There are two kinds of DSS buttons: fixed and flexible. Fixed DSS buttons, DSS , are extension numbers or access codes programmed by

the System Administrator. Flexible DSS buttons, , allow you to program extensions and other System 25 access codes. (You cannot program Pooled Facility Access codes on a DSS button.)
