Extension Status (if not already active) and then presses a programmed button for
Status 0, Status 1, or Status 2, and finally presses the Auto Dial or DSS button for
the telephone. A DLC operator or supervisor can also change the status of
telephones by pressing the Feature button, dialing the feature code (
