Use these instructions only if the system has Direct Station Selectors (DSSs) connected to MLX operator consoles. Otherwise, skip to the next section, “Group-Assigned Features.”

This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions assigned to the Page buttons, and for renumbering the extensions for Park so that the extensions fall within the Page button ranges.

DSS Page Buttons 4

This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions assigned to each of three Page buttons. The three Page buttons should be set to reach ranges of numbers that include the extension numbers in the extension numbering plan (including non-local extensions if the system is in a private network configuration) and reflect the number of extensions available:

■

If one DSS is connected to an operator console, set each Page button for a range of 50 numbers (matching the 50 available extensions).

If two DSSs are connected, set each Page button for a range of 100 numbers. The Page buttons then control 100 extensions, 50 on each DSS.

NOTE:

If two DSSs are used, the Page buttons on the second DSS are not active.

Planning Form Instructions

In the Page Buttons table under the Direct Station Selector heading of Form 6a (page 1), write the beginning extension for the range of the 50 or 100 extension numbers for each Page button. 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. (Use the information from Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks to assign the range of extensions for each Page button.) Also, record this information on Form 2d under the DSS Page Buttons heading.

Park Zones 4

This section contains instructions to enable operators with a DSS to have one-touch use of Park. The system automatically reserves eight extensions

(881−888) for system operator park zones; only system operators can use these park zone extensions to park calls. Consider changing these factory-set extensions to numbers that fall within the Page button ranges. The same considerations apply as those used during reassignment of extension numbers.

Planning Form Instructions

In the Call Park Codes table under Direct Station Selector on Form 6a:

■Write the new Zone numbers assigned in the Renumber to columns.

■On Form 2d, System Numbering: Special Renumbers, write the new numbers in the Renumber to column of the Park Zone section of that form.
