Planning Soft DSS Keys
When setting up Soft DSS keys you must decide:
• How many Soft DSS keys do you want?
Half-line mode supports up to 4 keys. Full-line mode supports up to 2 keys but shows more
information.
• What Soft DSS key features do you want to have?
You can use half-line mode to make calls only. You can use full-line mode to make calls, send
alerts, etc.
• What type of calls do you want to make/receive?
When using Soft DSS keys to make a call, the usage setting of your phone and the phone called
determines the type of call. The possibilities are:
• Standard Call:
The same as a normally dialled call.
• Page Call:
The extension called hears a single tone and can then hear you (you cannot hear them).
• Direct Call:
The extension called hears a single tone and then you can hear each other.
There are 4 usage settings (Normal, Auto Answer, Voice and Intercom). See Using Soft DSS Keys for
how the different usage settings interact.
