3.7.14Data Protection 
“PROT” (33)
Data Protection allows the user to protect a call connection against
inadvertent intrusion. The purpose of the feature is to provide protection to
ensure the integrity of data connections using a modem. Data protection may
be enabled by the user for any call and is only active for the duration of that
call. Subsequent data calls will require reactivation.

Dial Display “D DISP”Dial Display allows the user to cause the phone automatically to dial the
number associated with the message appearing on the phone’s display. The
phone will send the digits shown on the display, ignoring any alphanumeric
text characters, and will provide DTMF tone feedback. The displayed number
can result from any one of a number of instrument operations, e.g., retrieval of
messages left via the message leaving feature, messages due to the
Scheduled Reminder feature, thespeed
viewing the Speed Calling list, etc.calling numbers that appear when

3.7.16
Direct Station Selection “DSS” (11)DSS provides for both a secretarial answering service and a repertory dialing
service. For repertory dialing, the DSS button is used to make intercom calls,
call announcing calls, and station-to-station calls from the originating
instrument to a prime or control line on another instrument associated with the
DSS button. For answering service, the DSS button functions as a DIRECTED
CALL PICKUP button when the associated prime or control line is ringing, i.e.,
it is used to divert an incoming call from the associated line to the answering
instrument.
Depression of a DSS button causes the instrument to turn on the
speakerphone or monitor feature (if the instrument is on-hook), and then
automatically send out over the selected line the programmed digits
associated with the DSS button. The switch then attempts to complete the call
to the control line associated with the DSS button.
Direct Station Selection - AnsweringDSS answering allows a secretary or an attendant to provide answering
service for a large number of lines. This is accomplished by providing a
DSS button per line to be serviced, either on the instrument itself and/or on
the DSS Add-On Module.
STEP
OPERATIONRESULTBegin with the answering instrument on-hook and an indication of a ringing DSS line
(LED associated with DSS button is flashing at 60 IPM).

Depress the ringing DSS button.(a) Display is replaced by call source pickup
display. See Tables 3.5 and 3.6.
5Converse as usual.
NOTES:
1.The call that was ringing the DSS line is connected to the user’s answering
line and is disassociated from the called line. The LED associated with the
DSS button at the answering instrument is updated to reflect the new current
status of the associated DSS line, e.g., the status will indicate busy.
2.When the user “peeks” at more than one ringing DSS line, the call source of
the last depressed DSS button is displayed and persists until another user
action occurs or until the status of the DSS line is changed to nonringing.
3.Depression of ringing DSS buttons provides no automatic line seizurecapability. This restriction permits the user to “peek” at the call source
display.
4.If DSS answering is denied because there is no ringing phone, an error tone
is heard and NO CALL is displayed.
5.If station is restricted from picking up ringing line, REQUEST DENIED is
displayed.
Direct Station Selection - Origination
STEPOPERATIONRESULTBegin with the instrument indicating a preference line choice (secondary status LED
is lit for the associated line) and the instrument in an off-hook condition with handset
on-hook.
1Depress the desired DSS button.(a) DSS LED on.
(b) Speakerphone or monitor and

(e) Digits associated with the DSS
pushbutton will be sent to the switch and
are simultaneously displayed.
NOTES:
1.The selected DSS station must be either idle (LED off) or busy (LED on). If the
station is being signaled (LED flashing), the DSS pushbutton should not be
depressed except to answer the call.
2.Unlike a repertory dial button, alphanumeric characters are not stored for a DSS
button. Therefore, only the digits associated with the DSS button will be displayed
when they are sent to the switch.
2Proceed as with a normal station-to-station call.

3.7.18Elapsed Time “TIMER” (14)
Elapsed Time allows the user to measure and display the duration of both
incoming and outgoing calls. Additionally, a given duration may be
programmed which, upon expiration, causes the instrument to produce an
audible and visual alarm, along with a duration alarm display.

button, i.e., the FLASH feature button. The user may choose to use the
hookswitch to generate a manual flash to obtain the same results as if the
FLASH button were depressed.

Any time the FLASH feature button is depressed and the phone is off-hook, the
phone will send a FLASH response to the switch.
The instrument will time an on-hook followed by an off-hook transition and send a
FLASH response to the switch if the transition interval is within the generic
hookswitch flash interval.
The user may also effect a transfer of the party on soft hold to the called consulted
party if he releases while the called party (party to be consulted) is being rung. The
party on hold is then connected to the called party and hears the 
ringback tone.
When the consulted party answers, the consulted party is connected to the original
party on hold. The call source display indicates the call was transferred and the
station number of the transferred-from station.
The FLASH feature button (or hookswitch flash) is also used in conjunction with the
adding of parties to the multi-party conference bridge. Refer to CONFERENCE for
more information.
