You can set up the following speed dial features using your phone’s one-touch or
soft keys:
• Speed dial numbers
• Speed dial linking
• Speed dial names.
Assigning and Deleting PSD Numbers
You can assign frequently called numbers (or System Speed Dial [SSD] numbers) to
your phone’s one-touch or soft keys. These keys are preprogrammed to correspond
to specific PSD codes or bins. You store your PSD numbers in these bins. When you
press a one-touch or soft key containing a PSD number, the PSD bin associated with
that key is accessed and the speed dial number is dialed.
You can assign up to 10 PSD numbers to the one-touch keys on a non-display or
small-display phone (PSD bins 80-89) and up to 20 PSD numbers to the soft keys on
a large-display phone (PSD bins 80-99).
When in the PSD Directory Mode, you can vi ew t he PSD bin numbers on the
display. On a small-display phone, two bins are displayed at a time. To display the
next two bins, press the # key. To display the previous two bins, press the * key. On
a large-display phone, 10 PSD bins are displayed at a time. To display the next 10
bins, press the NEXT key. To display the previous 10 bins, press the PREV key.
For a list of corresponding PSD bin numbers and one-touch or soft key s , see Figure
16 and Table 4 on pag e 26.
Notes:
• On a small-display phone, you must be in the PSD Directory Mode to assign,
access, or view numbers in PSD bins 90-99. On a non-display phone, you
access or assign numbers to PSD bins 90-99 by pressing the AUTO key and
entering the PSD bin number. (To review the PSD numbers on non- display
phones, refer to you r c ustomized list of PSD numbers in Appendix B
“Customized PSD Bin Numbers” on page 83.)
• Until you assign a name or string of ch ar act ers to a PSD num ber, the PSD bin
number will display when you press the one-touch or soft key. For more
information, se e “ A s si gn in g a n d Deleting Name s f o r P SD N u mb e rs ” on page

To assign a PSD number to a one-touch or soft key
Note: Before assigning PSD numbers, you must determine whether the system is
set up for Intercom Level (programmed t o dial an inside line) or MCO Code level
(programmed to dial an outside line). Depending on the system set up, you must
include the appropriate dialing code as part of the PSD number. To determine which
code to use, see Table 5 on page 27.
1. Pick up the handset or press the ON/OFF key.

Assigning SSD Numbers
Note: SSD numbers require system programming.
SSD numbers are numbe rs that are frequently called by many different individuals
at your location; such as a branch or corporate office, a package delivery service, or
a travel agent. SSD numbers must be programmed from the attendant’s phone. Once
programmed, they are available for ev eryone to use.
A maximum of 80 or 800 S SD n umb ers are allo wed , de pen ding on the sys tem. In an
80 SSD number system, SSD numbers are stored in bins 00-79. In an 800 SSD
system, SSD numbers are stored in bins 000-799. You dial SSD numbers by
entering the appropri ate bin number or by using one-touch or soft keys. For mor e
information, see “D ialing Speed Dial Numbers” on page 38.
Note: To dial an SSD number using the one-touch keys on a non-display or smalldisplay phone, you must first assign the SSD number to a PSD bin number. For more
information, see “Assigning and Deleting PSD Numbers” on page 25.
Linking System Speed Dial Numbers
To handle phone numbers longer than 2 5 characters, you can lin k up to six SSD
numbers in one PSD bin. You can then dial the en t ir e nu m ber (each SSD number
contained in the chain) by pr essi ng the programmed PSD key or by entering the
speed dial bin number.
Notes:
• Before linking multiple SSD numbers to a PSD bin, the SSD bins must
already have been programmed with the appropriate speed dial information.
(This requires system programming.)
• If numbers do not appear on the display (00-79 or 000-799) when you us e
SSD codes, your extension is not programmed to display that data.

WALKING TRS CLASS OF SERVICE
Walking Toll Restriction Service (TRS) Class of Service (COS) allows you to use
your own calling privileges at another phone. For example, you may be allowed to
make long-distance calls from your phone, but a phone in your company’s
warehouse may be restricted from long-distance calls.
To make long-distance calls from the restricted phone, you can go to that phone and
enter a Walking TRS COS code before dialing the number.
Notes:
• Before using thi s fe atu r e , a Walking TRS COS must be assigned for your
phone by the system admi nistrator of DBS 576 and DBS 576HD dealer.
• The same Walking TRS COS code may be used by more than one extension.

OFF key.
2. Enter the Walking TRS COS access code (default = 87).

6. Access an outside line.
7. Dial the phone number.

USING DIRECTORY NUMBERS
A Directory Number (DN) allows extension numbers to be used on a key basis. The
same DN may be assigned to mu ltiple keys on the same telephone and to keys on
other telephones.
When a telephone’s extension numbe r is assigned to a key on the sa me tele ph on e, it
is considered a Primary Directory Number (PDN). Up to three app earances of the
PDN may be assigned to keys on a key telephone. This allows for multiple calls on
the same Directory Number.
When a DN is assigned to an FF key on ano th e r t e lephone, it is considered a NonPrimary Directory Number (NPDN). Up to three NPDN appearances of the same
DN may be assigned to keys on a telephone. This allows calls to the DN to appear
on multiple telephones. The calls ring in on a specified basis - immediate, delayed,
or no-ring.
A telephone may only have one PDN (on up to three keys) but may have multiple
NPDNs with up to three appearances of any one NPDN.
