Hotline / Direct Station Selection (DSS)
An extension user can have a Hotline key to a networked extension. The Hotline or DSS console
keys can display the status lamp indication of an extension in a networked system. The key will
show the status for idle, busy, DND and Call Forward Immediate.
The lamp status, may not be updated immediately. Status will be updated based on the time interval
speci
Þ ed in Program 20-01-04. Set this program to “30” on all systems for proper BLF operation.
The status for ACD extensions or virtual extensions will not be sent via networking. It is still possi-
ble to have a Hotline / DSS key for an ACD or virtual extension, but it will not show any BLF infor-
mation - the key can only be used to call the extension.
