Direct Station Selection (DSS)
DSX Software ManualFeatures◆117
Features
Direct Station Selection (DSS)
Description
If an extension’s Direct Station Selection (DSS) Keys are enabled, Feature Keys  automatically become 
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys when the user presses 
INTERCOM. Direct Station Selection provides an 
extension user with one-button Intercom access and Transfer to co-workers. Each DSS key also provides a 
Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for the assigned co-worker.
Conditions
• DSS keys do not pick up ringing calls.
Default Setting
• Not assigned. DSS capability is disabled.
Quickly place and Transfer calls to co-workers, without having to look up or dial your co-
worker’s extension numbers. Important
• If you enable an extension’s DSS Keys and leave the extension’s default Prime Line programming intact, the line keys automatically change to DSS keys when the user lifts the handset.  To avoid con-
fusion, be sure to explain this to your users.
• You may prefer to use the  Call Coverage Keys (page 40) or Hotline (page 207) features instead. 
Remember, in addition to providing one-button Intercom access and Transfer, Call Coverage Keys 
also provide call pickup capability.
When the DSS/BLF key is: The covered extension is:
Off Idle
On Busy or ringing
Flashing fast In Do Not Disturb

Intercom  (page 211)
A user can press a DSS key as an alternative to dialing Intercom numbers.
Prime Line Preference  (page 274)
With Intercom Prime Line, an idle extension user hears Intercom dial tone whenever they lift the 
handset or press 
SPEAKER. Since each extension’s Busy Lamp Field is disabled by default, the Fea-
ture Keys do not go into the DSS mode when the user lifts the handset while idl\
e. (If an outside call is 
ringing the phone,  Ringing Line Preference  will normally answer the call when the user lifts the hand-
set — even with Intercom Prime Line enabled.)
Speed Dial  (page 315)
The Personal Speed Dial Keys also provide one-button access to extensions.
Transfer  (page 358)
You can press your DSS key to Transfer a call instead of dialing a co-worker’s extension number.

Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console
120◆Features DSX Software Manual
Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console
Description
The DSS Console (P/N 1090024 for black and P/N 090029 
for white) gives a keyset user one-button access to exten-
sions, lines, and selected features. This saves time for users 
that do a lot of call processing such as operators or dis-
patchers).
The system allows you to install 4 DSS Consoles maxi-
mum per system. DSS Consoles use their own digital sta-
tion port and do not require a separate power supply. In 
programming, you assign each installed console to an 
“owner” keyset. Each console can only have one owner.
You can assign the following types of Feature Keys to a DSS Console.:
DSS Consoles provide one-touch access to extensions, lines, and system features.
• Account Code • Intercom Directory Dialing • Save Number Dialed
• Call Coverage (immediate, 
delayed or no ring)• Line keys• Speed Dial, Personal
• Call Forwarding • Message Center • Speed Dial, System
• Group Call Pickup (immedi- ate, delayed or no ring)• Night key• Split
• Headset key • Page Zones • Voice Mail Conversation  Record
