3.15. DSS/BLF Coverage
The IP8830E Phone has a DSS line type that addresses the special needs associated with an Attendant
or Secretarial answering position. The specific needs for these users are:
•
Direct Station Selection (DSS) - one-touch calling and transfers to extensions
•
Busy Lamp Field (BLF) - visual status indication of covered lines.
•
Coverage - the ability to pick up calls ringing at those extensions.
The DSS line in the IP Phone uses the shared line assignment in the call server. Operation of the
DSS/BLF Coverage button however is distinctly different then a shared line. For more information on
assigning DSS lines, consult your system administrator.
To call an idle covered extension:
o
Lift the handset. You may press the speakerphone button or the headset button.
o
Press the DSS line button. You may press the DSS line button prior to lifting the handset, which
activates the speakerphone and places the call.
To transfer an active call:
o
Press the DSS line button. The IP Phone places the active call on hold, and calls the extension.
o
Await answer and announce the transfer.
o
To complete the transfer, hang up the handset.
To cancel a transfer, for example the second party does not answer or is busy:
o
Press the
EndCall
softkey.
