Direct Station Select (DSS)
Direct Station Select (DSS) lets you monitor and 
automatically dial or answer an extension. The status 
light next to the DSS (D-) key on your telephone indi-
cates whether that extension is idle, ringing, or busy. 
Whenever someone is calling that extension, the 
status light next to the DSS key on your telephone 
blinks. Your telephone may also alert you to such a 
call with a single beep, if it has been set up at the CBX 
to do this. When a call is in progress on the DSS 
extension, the status light turns on steadily.
When the DSS key status light is off, you can dial the 
DSS extension by pressing the DSS key. When the 
DSS key status light is blinking, you can answer a call 
ringing at the DSS extension by pressing the DSS key. 
When the DSS key status light is on, pressing the DSS 
key will place a call to the busy extension. This call 
will automatically queue until the station becomes 
available. (See “Busy Standby Queuing” on page 
3–6.) Before you can use this feature, you must set up 
an extension to be associated with your DSS key.
