The Direct Station Select [DSS] button can appear on both the DADM and DSS

system. It can be used to transfer an outside call to the associated station or to make a
direct call to the associated station. The [DSS] LED lights st eady red when the station
associated with the [DSS] is ringing, bus y on a call, or in the DND mode; or when the
associated station is idle, but all appe arances of the station’s [PDN] are busy or in-u se
by other stations. [DSS] buttons cannot call station [PhDNs], Distributed Hunt Group
[DNs], or ACD Groups.
Features
The LED color indications described in these feature descriptions apply spe cifical ly to
the DADM and DSS Console models DDSS2060 and DDSS1060. Flash conditions
described here apply to all DSS console models and the DADM.

Calling a Station

To call a station’s [PDN] from either a DSS console or a DADM, press the [DSS]
associated with the station. A station call with a [DSS] can be made on-hook or off-
hook, and with Voice First or Tone signaling. After pressing the button, treat the call
like any other station call made from a digital telephone.
[DSS] LEDs indicate whether the associated station is idle or busy. The LED is steady
red if the station is busy or ringing, and is not lit if idle. If all the station’s PDN buttons
are being used by other stations, the DSS LED of the station is lit steady red, but the
station may be idle. If the station is in the DN D mode, its DSS LED lights steady red.

Transfer to an Idle Station

You can transfer internal or outside calls to an idle station from either a DSS console
or a DADM.
