							Direct Station Selection Console, DSS (Portrait 824 only)
If you do a lot of call processing (like an operator or dispatcher), you
may have a Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console. The DSS Console
gives you a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and one-button access to exten-
sions and certain system features. Use the DSS Console to help you: 

 Call Extensions and Door Boxes 

 Transfer outside calls 

 Make Internal or External Pages 
Your DSS Console may also have keys stored with Programmable
Feature Key operations. This gives your DSS Console many of the
features available on One-Touch and function keys. Check with your
Communications Manager to see if your console has these functions.

Direct Station Selection (DSS) provides you with one-button access to
other extensions in the system. Each of the ten One-Touch keys on your
telephone can be programmed to call a particular extension. You can also
program the One-Touch keys to access any Page Zone or Door Box.
If you have a display keyset, a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) indication is
shown for any One-Touch keys you have programmed. This shows
you if your co-worker is on a call, in Do Not Disturb, or idle.

							Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb (DND) blocks Page announcements, ringing and
incoming voice announcements to your extension. DND permits you
to work undisturbed at your desk without interruptions from your
phone. When you activate DND, incoming calls still flash your line
keys. While in DND, you may still use your phone in the normal man-
ner for placing and processing calls. 
There are four levels of DND which can be programmed into the sys-
tem for each extension: 

 Level 0 = No DND capability 

 Level 1 = Blocks CO audible, allows Intercom calls 

 Level 2 = Blocks CO audible and Intercom calls 

 Level 3 = Blocks CO audible and Intercom calls or just CO audible
A co-worker calling an extension in DND hears a fast busy signal.

Door Box
Your system may have Door Boxes. A Door Box is a self-contained
Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance door. A visitor at
the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The
Door Box then sends chime tones to all extensions programmed to
receive chimes. If you receive Door Box chimes, you can just lift the
handset to answer them. You can then talk to the visitor at the door. 
Door Boxes come in handy at delivery entrances. Your company doesnt
have to have someone at the door to monitor the entrance. You can
just answer the Door Box instead. If the door has an electric strike,
you can even use your telephone to release the door.

you can break into an outside call at another extension, including a
call on a Private Line. The intrusion may or may not be preceded by a
warning tone, depending on programming. The warning tone comes
over the speaker of both extensions. You must have outgoing line
access for the line you wish to override.

							Extension Hunting
Extension Hunting routes internal and DISA calls to a predefined
group of hunt group member extensions. A call will ring the first
available extension in the hunt group. Extension Hunting is helpful,
for example, for a group of co-workers that share responsibility for
answering calls. Each new call rings the first available extension in the
hunt group. If you receive no answer, use Step Calling (page 76).

2. Press  .
3. Dial  .
4. Dial hunt group number (0-4).

First available extension is called. If
there is no answer, the user can dial #
again to call the next idle extension
(see Step Calling, page 76).
Flash
Flash allows a keyset user to access certain features of the telephone
company or PBX to which your phone system is connected. This lets
you take full advantage of whatever features the connected telephone
company or PBX offers. Flash accesses these features by momentarily
interrupting the loop current on your outside line. This is much like
briefly pressing and then releasing the hookswitch on your telephone
at home.
