Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console
306 ◆Features Aspire Software Manual
24-Button DLS (Direct Line Select): DSS/DLS Service Code
Using Programming Function Keys, you can determine whether the keys on a 24-button DLS con-
sole (P/N 0890053 or 0890054) are used as DSS (direct station selection) or DLS (direct line selec-
tion) keys.
To prevent lamping problems when reassigning DLS Console keys, it is recommended that you
clear an extension's programmed key before reassigning it (Program 30-03: Enter key to be cleared
+ FLASH key [If using PCPro/WebPro, delete the entry and upload the change to the system before
proceeding]). Without clearing an extension's key first, your DSS Console may not show the correct
lamping, although the DSS function will work correctly.
If you are programming the system from the extension to which the DLS Console is connected,
either by phone or using the PC Program, you may need to unplug the DLS and plug it back in to
reset the console's lamping.
DSS Lamping Changed to Apply to All Consoles
Software has been changed to apply settings in Program 30-05 : DSS Console Lamp Table to all
system consoles. Previously, the settings in this program defined for each DSS Console.
DSS Lamping Table Changed to Apply to DSS/Hotline Keys for Keysets
Software has been changed to apply settings in Program 30-05 : DSS Console Lamp Table to
DSS and Hotline keys on keysets as well as DSS Consoles.
ACD/Non-ACD Agent DSS Lamping Available
With the Aspire M/L/XL system and software 4.0E+, a new option is available in Program 30-05-
01 which allows a non-ACD DSS console to lamp indicating the status of both non-ACD agents as
well as ACD agents. Previously, the console would only display one type or the other.
Conditions
(A.) Changing flash patterns for DSS Consoles will also change them for Hotline keys.
(B.) When installing a DSS, the system must auto-detect the console in order for the LEDs to func-
tion correctly. When connecting the DSS to an extension previously defined with another cir-
cuit type, undefine the circuit type (enter 00 in Program 10-03 for the extension number), then
connect the DSS Console.
(C.) To program the keys on a 24-Button DLS in Program 15-07, use the extension number to
which the DLS is installed and, regardless of the type of keyset connected, start programming
the DLS keys at key number 25.
(D.) An attendant does not have to have a DSS Console, but it must be programmed in Program 30-
02-01.
(E.) Programmable Function Keys for ACD codes (*10, *12, *13, *14, *15, *16, *17, *18, *19)
cannot be programmed on a DSS Console.
(F.) Programmable Function keys for Trunk Group/Loop Key (*02), Virtual Extension (*03), and
Loop Key (*05) cannot be programmed on a DSS Console as the system does not allow entry
of the additional data required for these keys.
Default Setting
●No DSS Consoles assigned (in Program 30-02).
●All DSS Console key ranges are ports 1-200.
●Once a DSS Console is enabled, the console's keys are DSS keys (Program 30-03).
