Features
The beginning number for each page is assigned via system programming.
When the operator presses a Page button, the page of the DSS corresponds to
a range of 50 (for a single DSS) or 100 (for two connected DSSs) extension
numbers. The factory settings for Page buttons are as follows: the Page 1
button begins with extension 0, the Page 2 button begins with 50, and the Page
3 button begins with 100.
If only one DSS is attached, each Page button assignment sets the console for
a range of 50 extension numbers. If two DSSs are attached, each Page button
assignment sets the console for a range of 100 extension numbers. If 2 DSSs
are used, the factory setting must be changed so that the difference between
extensions assigned to the range is at least 100. For example, assign Page 1
button to begin with extension 10, Page 2 button to begin with extension 110,
and Page 3 button to begin with extension 210. Also, Page button assignments
should be sequential.
The beginning extension number associated with each Page button is the same
for all system operator positions and cannot be programmed differently for
individual system operator positions.
Each Page button can be programmed to begin with any extension number that
is a multiple of 50 in the range of 0-9950. However, to speed call handling, it is
recommended that the assignments be sequential—the range starting with the
lowest extension number should be assigned to Page 1, the range starting with
the next higher extension number should be assigned to Page 2, and the range
starting with the highest extension number should be assigned to Page 3.
You cannot program individual buttons on a DSS.
Each of the 50 DSS buttons corresponds to one of three extension numbers.
The specific extension number is determined by the Page button that the
system operator presses. For example, if the first extension number for the
Page 1 button is programmed to be extension 100, the DSS buttons and
associated LEDs on a single DSS correspond to extensions 100 to 149. The
specific extensions represented by each DSS button are assigned from top to
bottom, left to right as shown in Figure 7.
Each DSS button can correspond to extension numbers for one of the following:
■ user extension number
■ trunk number (801–880)
■ pool dial-out code (Hybrid/PBX only)
■ Calling Group extension number
■ Paging Group extension number
