Siemens 300 Series, 600 Series manual Direct Station Select DSS

Direct Station Select (DSS)

Direct Station Select (DSS) lets you monitor and automatically dial or answer an extension. The status light next to the DSS (D-) key on your telephone indi- cates whether that extension is idle, ringing, or busy. Whenever someone is calling that extension, the status light next to the DSS key on your telephone blinks. Your telephone may also alert you to such a call with a single beep, if it has been set up at the CBX to do this. When a call is in progress on the DSS extension, the status light turns on steadily.

When the DSS key status light is off, you can dial the DSS extension by pressing the DSS key. When the DSS key status light is blinking, you can answer a call ringing at the DSS extension by pressing the DSS key. When the DSS key status light is on, pressing the DSS key will place a call to the busy extension. This call will automatically queue until the station becomes available. (See “Busy Standby Queuing” on page 3–6.) Before you can use this feature, you must set up an extension to be associated with your DSS key.
