Understanding Your Equipment
Line and DSS Buttons
Your console’s line buttons and/or DSS buttons are already
programmed and labeled for specific functions.
Line Buttons
The MLX-20L has 20 line buttons and the MLX-28D has 28 line
buttons. These
buttons are
used to make and receive calls.
They can also be programmed for one-step feature use.
Two or more of your line buttons are either
ICOM
(Intercom) or
SA
(System Access) buttons. You cannot have both.
If you have
ICOM
buttons, use them for inside calls only. Use
buttons labeled with phone numbers for outside calls. You can
also use buttons labeled with special service names (such as
WATS) to make outside calls.
If you have
SA
buttons, use them for inside and outside calls.
You must enter a dial-out code to make an outside call on an
SA
button. You can also use buttons labeled with Pool or
special service names (such as
WATS)
to make outside calls.
ICOM
or
SA
buttons are labeled
Ring, Voice,
or
Orig
(Originate) Only.
Ring means that co-workers hear their
phones ringing when you call. Voice means that co-workers
hear your voice over the speakerphone. Orig Only means that
you can only make calls with this button. (You may not have
this button on your console.)
