SECTION 2
OPTION INSTALLATION DETAILS
DSS/BLF CONSOLE CONNECTION
The optional DSS/BLF console may be installed at any
station port (except port 10) to work in conjunction with
a companion station connected to the adjacent port
(e.g. port 10 for station and port 11 for console).
Console port installation is illustrated in Figure 3-3a
and 3-3b, shown on the previous pages.
The model EB32X-xx, DB32-xx, DB32S-xx, DB40-xx,
and DB70-xx DSS/BLF consoles are all compatible
with the XE system. The station port to which they are
connected must be programmed as a DSS/BLF
console port as described on page 4-12. The console
buttons are fixed for DSS/BLF operation beginning
with station 10 and ending with the maximum station
number in the system. These buttons also provide
auto dial locations at a second level of storage
(accessed with the HOLD button function).
Additionally, any buttons, from beyond system station
capacity through a maximum of 32, are available as
auto dial locations at the first level of storage. For
example, a model N1024 key system and a EB32X-xx
or DB32-xx console will fix the first 24 console buttons
as DSS/BLF buttons, and provide the remaining eight
buttons as auto dial buttons. Plus, it will provide auto
dial locations at the second level of storage for the first
24 buttons. A total of 32 auto dial storage locations are
provided. For larger consoles, any buttons beyond a
maximum of 32 will still be blanked. For this reason it
is recommended that the larger consoles (DB40 and
DB70) not be used unless absolutely necessary since
the XE system has a maximum station capacity of 24
stations thus leaving these consoles with a large
quantity of blanked buttons.
The installed distance limit between the common
equipment and a console is the same as that
specified for a regular station. Connect all four
wires (voice pair and data pair) of the console cable
to the station connector block.
The voice pair connections of the console can be
used simultaneously to enable a PA port function or
to provide off-hook voice announce capability..
See information headed External Paging Interface -
Station PA Port. If an enable signal is required with
the particular PA equipment being used, the console
and PA equipment connections are limited to station
ports 15 and 17.
The DSS/BLF console port must be programmed as
a DSS/BLF port before console operation can take
place.
The console port must be also programmed as a PA
port if a PA amplifier has been connected to the
voice pair as part of the system.
OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE
WITH HANDSFREE ANSWERBACK
The DB32S-xx Adjunct Feature Module can be used to
provide off-hook voice announcing (OHVA) to a station
already busy on a call and allow subsequent
handsfree answerback (HFAB) by that station user.
The DB32S-xx Module can also be used as a
DSS/BLF console at the same time if desired. The
station port to which the Adjunct Feature Module is
connected must be programmed for the feature that is
required as discussed on page 4-12. When both
DSS/BLF and OHVA operation are required, the
station port to which the console is connected must be
programmed as an Off-Hook Call Announce port.
When only DSS/BLF operation is required, program
the port as a DSS/BLF Console port.
Two data-paired station ports are required to
provide the OHVA/HFAB feature.
Connect a telephone to the first data-paired port
Connect the DB32S-xx Adjunct Feature Module
to the voice pair and the data pair of the second
data-paired port.
