Although usually considered to be an attendant feature benefit, the DSS console can be assigned to any DX-80
DET. You can add a maximum of 12 sixty-button Attendant/Extension consoles to the system. Each requires its
own dedicated digital port, and therefore reduces the number of DETs that you can connect to the system on a one-
to-one basis.
The following conditions apply when assigning DSS port owners.
• Each DSS console has 48 dual-color LED buttons and 12 buttons without LEDs.
• Each DSS console requires its own dedicated cable pair from the KSU.
• You can assign up to 12 DSS consoles in the DX-80 system.
• You can assign to any DET a maximum of four Attendant/extension DSS consoles.
Each DSS is “mapped” with a default button arrangement. See Appendix B, Button Labeling to view the DSS
button map.
