Things You Should Know
General Information
DCS Gateway telephones are called “keysets”. The buttons or
“keys” are used to access or activate system features. The keys
with paper designation strips are programmable keys, which
can be programmed for specific features. See your System
Administrator to get the most-frequently used features as-
signed to your keys. (Also refer to
Assigning Features to Pro-
grammable Keys
in the ‘Customising Your Keyset’ Section.)
Lines from the Telephone Company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on
these lines are referred to as “outside calls.” Your system can
have individual C.O. line keys or lines may be assigned to
groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialling
an access code or pressing a route key. For example, dial 9 to
get a local outside line. Lines in the system are numbered from
701 (702, 703, etc.).
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring
specific extensions. You can press a DSS key instead of dial-
ling the extension number. A DSS key will light red when that
extension is busy (this is called a Busy Lamp Indication).
DCS provides distinctive ring patterns to your keyset:
•
Outside calls have a double ring tone repeated.
•
Internal calls have a single ring tone repeated.
•
Alarm/appointment reminders have a short ring tone re-
peated very quickly.
