Direct Station Selection (DSS)

The DSS buttons allow you to make a call without dialing the

digits. The number is stored in the memory system. There are
two kinds of DSS buttons: Fixed and Flexible. The fixed DSS

buttons,

consist of extension numbers or access codes

programmed the System Administrator. Flexible DSS

buttons,

allow you to program your own frequently

called extensions and most other System 25 access codes. (You
cannot program Pooled Facility Access codes on a DSS button.)

For instructions on how to program information in
buttons, see the section titled “Programming Numbers”.
