Monitored Stations
When the installer assigns the personal intercom number of one telephone to
appear at a button on another telephone, the button and its associated light
provide a direct station select (DSS) busy lamp field (BLF) feature. With this
feature, the user can monitor the status of the appearing station. If the installer
also assigns a DSS status button to the telephone, the user can press it to select
between monitoring all of the telephone status or just its personal intercom status.
When the station monitoring feature is off, the status light shows the state of the
monitored telephone. If the user’s telephone has a status button, he or she can
press it to show the busy/idle state of just the personal intercom number of the
monitored telephone.
When the station monitoring feature is on, the status light shows activity status
(idle, ringing, busy, and hold) of the monitored telephone.
