ADVANCED FEATURES

DSS/BLF (Direct Station Select, Busy Lamp Field)

DSS – This feature allows calls to be transferred to a station without dialing the station on the keypad.

BLF – For use by attendant consoles - When an incoming call rings the main number, an attendant can use this feature to check the status of a line for a busy condition. If inactive, a call may then be transferred by using the DSS key.

NOTE: Only Non-PrimCA keys can be programmed as a DSS key. You must first change a PrimCA key to a General CA key.

Disabling Softkeys

Sometimes a softkey feature will appear on the display and not be available to the user. For example, the PkUp key appears on the display but the Call Pick-Up feature is not available to the user. Other times a user may prefer to have a hardkey and an LED indicator for a feature. Many users prefer moving Call Forward to a hardkey.
