Console Installation
Beginning with software release 8, the digital
telephone system supports the installation and use of
a DigiTech DD32X and an Americom
XD84X
DSSIBLF console at any available station port. With
software release 12A, console support is extended to
include the impact IB64X console as well. The
number of installed consoles is limited only by port
availability; however, since a console complements a
companion telephone located in an adjacent station
port, you can use up to one-half of the available
station ports for consoles. In addition with the dual
console feature (discussed later), a full two-thirds of
the total station port capacity is available for console
use.
Beginning with software revision of 9, you can assign
two consoles to one telephone. This feature is
especially useful when used with DigiTech DD32X
consoles and a G1632 system that has one or two
GM408 expansion modules included with it. This dual
console feature allows a station user to monitor up
to
48 stations from one station location using 32-button
consoles.
Install the first console at the station port that is
logic-paired with the station that you wish to
complement. Install the second console at any station
port except 10 or 11 and, using class of service
programming, assign it to the same station port that is
logic-paired with the first console.
The digital telephone station ports are logic-paired as
follows:

You can install a DD32X, XD64X, or IB64X console at
any station port and assign it to a station without first
installing a console at the station’s logic-paired port if
you wish. This configuration is convenient for adding
a console to an existing telephone installation that
already has its logic-paired port occupied; however, do
not use this configuration for assigning a console to
station ports 10 and 12 because the console buttons
will not be usable for programming. As discussed
above, this feature is also useful for adding a second
installation IMl66-107
console to a station that already has a paired console
installed with it.
The digital telephone system automatically recognizes
a console when you connect it to a station port and
automatically assigns the station intercom numbers to
the console buttons for direct station selection (DSS)
purposes with associated busy lamp field (BLF) status
lights. However, the console buttons are fully
programmable and the station user can customize
them as he or she see fit by programming them as
DSS buttons or as automatic dialing (autodial) buttons.
When the user programs the buttons for DSS use,
autodial capability is also available at a secondary
level at each DSS button. All 32 buttons on the DD32X
console and the first 48 buttons on the
XD64X
and
1864X are programmable for DSS and/or autodial use.
While the first
XD32X
console (the one installed at the
logic-paired port) extends the autodial buttons of the
paired telephone by 32 and provides DSSIBLF
coverage for station ports 10 through 41, the second
XD32X
console (the one installed at the programmed
station port) provides DSS/BLF coverage as follows:
0
On a 32-station system with two 8-station expansion
modules, the first 16 buttons are automatically
assigned (defaulted) to station ports 42 through 57
for DSS purposes.
0
On a 32-station system with one 8-station
expansion module, the first 8 buttons are
automatically assigned (defaulted) to station ports
42 through 49 for DSS purposes.
0
On any other smaller station capacity system, all
buttons are unassigned.
When you install a console and program it to
complement a telephone without first having a console
installed at a port that is logic-paired to that telephone,
its button assignment is automatically defaulted, as
described above, but the user can reprogram it as
required. It is important to remember that when you
program for a second console, the system sets the
console button mapping to that which is described
above. When you clear the assignment, the system
resets the button mapping to match a logic-paired
console. This means that when the second console
feature is cleared, the console installed at that port
complements the telephone that is installed at its
logic-paired port instead of the telephone that is
located at the program designated port, and its buttons
are automatically reassigned to station ports 10
through 41 (through station port 57 with
IB64X
and
XD64X
consoles).
