Assigning Functions to DSS Keys

Functions can also be made available via the DSS keys. This is done through the User's Button Programming tab. This allows you to select an action for the DSS key and to enter the telephone number or parameters for that action.

• Note that for each DSS key setup, a short code of the form *DSS appears in the User's Short Codes tab. Changes made these short codes are ignored and overwritten by the settings in the Button Programming tab.

The actions supported are Dial, Group, Park, User, Emulation and Advanced.

• Dial:
  This is an abbreviated dial where the LED illuminates for the duration of the call, giving the user some feedback as to what was pressed. Abbreviated Dial may be partial dialing strings. For example it may contain "732" and be labeled "NJ", with the user being required to complete the dialing.

• Group:
  Monitor the status of a Hunt-group queue. Flashes green if a call is incoming to the group, flashes red if calls for the group are being queued. Put the name of the group, surrounded by quotes, in the Telephone Number field.

• Park:
  Monitor a park slot. The red LED is lit if the park slot is occupied by a call parked by another station, or green if the park slot is occupied by a call parked by the station with the programmed PARK BLF button. If you are the user who parked the call, pressing this button reconnects you to the call. If another party parked the call, pressing this button once provides call information and pressing it a second time connects you to the call. Select Answer from this menu to pickup call.

• User:
  Monitor a user. This is a Busy-Lamp-Field. Put the name of the person, surrounded by quotes, in the Telephone Number field.

• Emulation:
  Gives access to number of functions that emulate operation on other telephone systems. See Emulation Functions .

• Advanced:
  Gives access to a range of short code functions which can be assigned to DSS keys. See Short Code Features.

Users can setup the Dial, Group, Park and User actions through their telephone using Menu | Menu | ProgA | DSS.
