conference. To establish an Unsupervised conference, you must first build a Supervised 
conference. 
Operation
1. Two CO lines are conferenced (F+[6]+[0]) at your station:
2. Press [FEAT ].
3. Dial [7] + [7]. At an Executive Telephone, the following display will be seen 
momentarily.

							4-42Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
Description
This feature allows you to remotely access system features such as System Speed Dial, 
Line Access for long distance calling, CO Line-to-CO Line Conferencing, and Intercom 
dialing. Any number of DISA lines may be assigned incoming DISA access based on the 
system service mode (Day, Night or Always). 
Talk time can be manually extended by the outside DISA party.
There are 24 passwords available, each 4 digits in length. Since the passwords are 
relatively short, caution should be exercised when permitting unauthorized use of the 
DISA facilities.
Operation
CO line 1 is programmed for DISA operation. When a call is made to CO line 1, that call is 
automatically answered and a DISA dial tone is heard. 
When a DISA dial tone is heard:
1. Dial [#].
2. Dial one of the DISA passwords (24 possible).
3. Dial [#]. 
Once your password is verified, a second dial tone is presented.
Attendant Access
When the first dialed digit is the Operator Code, the call will be directly transferred to the 
attendant.
Using System Speed dialing:
1. Dial [1].
2. Dial the System Speed Dial Bin (20-99). 
3. The system will select an idle CO line and dial the stored speed dial number.
To access a CO Line:
1. Dial [2].
2. Dial a line number (DHS 1-12, DHS-E 700-717). 
[1-9] = Line 1-9 
[0] = Line 10 
[
✻ = Line 11 
[#] = Line 12
3. If the CO line selected is idle, DISA will connect the line for dialing.
DISA requires the Option Module for operation on the DHS. 
						

							Direct Inward System Access (DISA)4-43
To place an intercom call:
1. Dial [3].
2. Dial the Station Number 
To disconnect a CO line DISA call:
1. Dial [0] + [#].
To extend the DISA talk (conversation) time:
1. When the DISA call is in progress, Dial [0] + [✳] to extend the preset conversation 
time.
Conditions
†Two DISA CO lines may be used simultaneously. If more than two DISA CO lines are 
signaling for answer, the subsequent calls will receive an internal busy tone.
†DISA CO line (COS) assignment coincides with Toll Restriction COS Tables.
†The activation time for a DISA CO line is programmable for Never, Day, Night or 
Always. 
†If you dial a station number which is non-existent, your call will be directly transferred 
to the attendant.
†The CO Line-to-CO line conference time is programmable for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 15 
minutes (default is one minute). The CO line-to-CO line conference time may be set to 
automatically drop the connected outside parties upon expiration of a pre-
programmed time.
 If you do not dial the station number within the 10-second time-out period, your call will 
be transferred to the attendant station.
A programmed Talk Time will disconnect all DISA-CO Line calls when it expires.
The default COS of day and night for DISA CO lines is 0. Each DISA CO line has its own COS 
for dialing privileges. 
						

							4-44Directory Dial 
Directory Dial 
Description
Enables station users to obtain a directory of station users and have the system dial the 
extension shown in the display. The DHS system provides locations for up to 200 names 
each consisting of a maximum of 12 characters. Directory Dial also  enables users to 
program a name along with a speed dial bin for use in later locating a speed dial number. 
The system displays the name associated with a speed dial number on the LCD display so 
that when the desired name is shown, the user may then have the system dial the 
number.
Operation
1. Press [FEAT ]
2. Dial [7]+[9] 
3. Enter name using the key pad (refer to Table) or use volume keys to scroll through 
names.
4. Press the soft key  to locate the most likely entry and volume keys to scroll 
the names, until you locate the one you were trying to find: 
Then press any soft key to dial, once the desired name is displayed.
To execute a speed dial number using directory dial:
1. If the destination is a speed dial number, the number stored in the speed dial bin will 
be displayed 
2. Press a soft key
3. Once an idle line is accessed, the number displayed is dialed.

Do Not Disturb (DND)
Description
DND allows you to temporarily block and discontinue ringing from incoming CO calls and 
intercom calls. You can activate DND while your telephone is idle or busy. Some stations 
with a higher COS may override a stations DND condition. 
When you have activated DND, you will hear a special intercom (stutter) reminder tone 
when you lift the handset or use the speakerphone. If you have assigned a button on 
your telephone specifically for DND, that button will light whenever you activate the 
feature.
Operation
1. Press [FEAT ]
2. Dial [4]. You will hear a confirmation tone on an Executive Telephone displays:
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 above to cancel DND. You will hear a confirmation tone on an 
Executive Telephone. The display the will show the following prior to returning to the 
idle display message:
Conditions
†Do Not Disturb cannot be enabled if you have activated Call Forward. 
†At any time while your telephone is idle, you may immediately divert an incoming 
tone ringing intercom call to the attendant by using the DND feature. 
†Your DSS/BLF button on other key telephones will flash when you activate DND.
†May cause analog VM integration situations, such as recalling at main attendant 
instead of the intended voice mailbox.

							DND Override4-47
DND Override
Description
If you have an Executive Telephone you may override a station in DND if you have a 
higher COS. When you override a station in DND that station will hear tone ringing.
Operation
Let’s assume Station 16 is in DND:
1. Call Station 16. You will hear a DND tone and your display shows:
The Override option is displayed only if your COS is higher than the Station 16 COS.
2. Press [override]. If Station 16 is idle, your display shows:
OR
3. If Station 16 is busy, your display shows:
OR
4. If Station 16 is busy with Call Wait enabled, your display shows:

							4-48Drop Time-Out
Drop Time-Out
Description
This feature is enabled in the system programming on a per station basis. When enabled, 
any outgoing CO line will be automatically timed and then dropped, after the system 
Warning Tone Timed is exceeded. This feature is normally used to control outgoing call 
traffic.
Operation
If the Warning Time is set at 3 minutes and station x is set to Drop Time-out = Y, the active 
CO line call will continue as usual until 3 minutes of conversation has elapsed.
1. The display will then change to:
2. The display will then return back to idle.
Conditions
†The time limit of Drop Time-Out is closely associated with Warning Tone Time 
programming. If the station Warning Tone Time is set for 5 minutes and the Drop 
Time-Out feature is enabled, after 5 minutes have expired, the outgoing CO line call in 
progress will be released automatically; a double beep also is heard.
†If Drop Time-Out is enabled, only outgoing CO line calls at that station are affected. 
No Drop Time-Out is enabled.
DSS Console 
Description
One DSS console may be assigned to a station. Each DSS Console uses one digital station 
port. Up to 24 DSS consoles may be installed on a system. The DSS console buttons are 
programmed by the station user using the FEAT + # + 5 command, then pressing the 
button on the DSS to be programmed. All system feature codes may be stored on the 
Programmable Feature Buttons for one-button operation. Certain programmed feature 
buttons will light when activated (DND, Call Forward, DSS/BLF, etc.), while others such as 
Call Pick-Up, Background Music, Last Number Redial, do not.
Features are separated into three distinct categories for programming on a button: CO 
line, station, or feature.
