Introduction

Introduction to the DSS/BLF

The DSS/BLF works in association with your DT or TT display phone. It
provides your phone with an additional 42 DSS keys. You can associate
several DSS/BLF's with your DT or TT display phone. Each DSS/BLF
requires its own telephone socket and a mains power socket.

–

DSS Keys: (D

irect Station Select)

– Each DSS key can store an extension, line or group number. You

can then use the key to dial that number using a single key press.

– Alternatively you can use a DSS key to dial a system speed dial

number.

–

BLF Lamps: (B

usy Lamp Field)

The DSS keys incorporate dual-colour BLF lamps. These show the
status of the extension, line or group number stored under each key.
The lamps use different flashing rates and colours to show different
conditions (eg. busy, ringing, on hold, etc - see page 5).
