➻30-03-01 : DSS Console Key Assignment
Customize DSS Console keys to function as DSS keys, Service Code keys, Programmable
Function Keys, and One-Touch Calling keys. The key (when defined as a DSS/One-Touch key
[code 01] can have any function up to four digits long (e.g., extension number or Service
Code). The function information (such as extension number or Service Code) would then be
entered as the additional data.
➻30-04-01 : Alternate DSS Console Extension Assignment
If the console should have Alternate Answering, use this program to assign the Alternate
Answering Destination. That extension must be programmed with a DSS, but it does not actu-
ally need a DSS installed.
➻30-05-01 : DSS Console Lamp Table
If required, use this program to customize the system’s DSS Console flash rates. This table
also affects DSS/Hotline key lamping for keysets.

Abbreviated Dialing
A user can use the One-Touch Programmable Function Key (code 01) to have DSS Console
keys for Personal Speed Dial as well as common and group Abbreviated Dialing.
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
Lamping status for ACD agents and non-ACD agents do not both appear on the same console
type. For ACD agent’s lamping status, a DSS Console must be programmed as an ACD con-
sole in Program 30-01-01. For non-ACD agents, the console must be programmed as business
console.
Call Forwarding
A DSS key will only indicate a Call Forwarding indication for extensions forwarded with Per-
sonal Answering Machine Emulation (*2 + 1) or Immediate Call Forwarding (*2 + 4).
Central Office Calls, Answering and Placing
A DSS Console can have line keys for placing and answering calls.

The DSS Console provides one-touch Night Service switching. Refer to the Night Service
feature when programming Night Service options.
One-Touch Calling
Like a One-Touch Key, a user can have DSS Console keys for Direct Station Selection, Trunk
Calling, Personal Speed Dial, Abbreviated Dialing, and Service Code access.
Paging, External and Internal
The DSS Console provides one-touch External and Internal Page zone access. Refer the
External Paging and Internal Paging features when programming Paging.
Programmable Function Keys
You can program the DSS Console keys with service codes to provide the functions of many
of the Programmable Function keys. The stored service code can be up to three digits long,
but it can have additional option codes added (e.g. to set Immediate Call Forward for all calls,
*2 + 4 + ext # + 2). Trunk Group/Loop Key (*02), Virtual Extension (*03), and Loop Key
(*05) codes can not be programmed on a DSS Console as the system does not allow entry of
the additional data required.
