Digital Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) Units
DIGITAL DIRECT STATION SELECTION/BUSY LAMP FIELD (DSS/BLF) UNITS
The Inter-Tel system supports three types of DSS/BLF Consoles/Units. The unit used depends
on the phone.
•
With Model 8560 and Model 8520 Phones: Model 8560 and 8520 Phones equipped
with a PCDPM support up to four 50-button DSS/BLF Units. There can be a total of 20
of these 50-button DSS/BLF Units on the system. The presence of the optional Mini-
DSS does not affect the number of units supported.
•
With Executive Display, Standard Display, Professional Display, and Associate Dis-
play Phones: Executive, Professional, Standard, and Associate Display Phones
equipped with a PCDPM support up to four 60-button DSS/ BLF Units. There can be a
total of 20 of these 60-button DSS/BLF Units on the system.
NOTE: Because each 50- and 60-button DSS Unit is powered by an AC transformer
and is connected to the phone’s PCDPM, the Units do not require a DKSC or DKSC-16/
DKSC-16+ circuit that is separate from the phone.
•
With Executone IDS Phones: IDS phones can be equipped with up to three 48-button
DSS Units. The IDS phone does not require a PCDPM. There can be a total of 80 IDS
48-button DSS Units on the system. Each 48-button DSS Unit requires an EKSC cir-
cuit.
NOTE: For details about the 48-button DSS/BLF Unit, see a version 7.0 or earlier
Eclipse Installation and Maintenance Manual.
Although the 50-button Unit is designed for Model 8560 and 8520 Phones, and the 60-button
Unit is designed for Executive, Professional, Standard, and Associate Display Phones, you can
use either DSS/BLF Unit on any of these phones. Each single unit provides one-button access
to 50 or 60 extension numbers and/or other features/ resources. For instructions on program-
ming and using DSS/BLF buttons, see
page 34 .
MINI-DSS UNITS
Version 7.0 software supports a Mini-DSS that has 16 user-programmable buttons. This unit
attaches directly to the Model 8520 or 8560 Phone and does not require a PCDPM or AC trans-
former. Like the DSS/BLF Unit, these buttons contain lamps that light or flash depending on
the status of a station or the button’s programming. For details about the lamps, see the previ-
ous section.
NOTE: Version 7.0 or later software is required to use the Mini-DSS.
