3.7.3 Direct Station Select (DSS)
A DSS key is a special variant of a line key. It enables a direct connection to a target phone,
allowing the user to pick up or forward a call alerting the DSS target and make/complete a call
to the DSS target.
3.7.3.1 General DSS Settings
These parameters define the behaviour of all DSS keys.
If the user picks up an incoming call for the DSS target by pressing the associated DSS key,
the call is forwarded to the user’s primary line. Thereafter, the user’s phone rings, and the user
can accept the call.
The value of Call pickup detect timer (seconds) determines the time interval, within which
the call must be present at the primary line. If the interval is exceeded, forwarding will not be
tried any longer. The default is 3.
If Deflecting call enabled is checked, the user can forward an alerting call to the DSS target
by pressing the DSS key. The default is "No".
If Allow pickup to be refused is checked, the user is enabled to reject a call alerting on the
line associated with the DSS key. The default is "No".
Administration via WBM
System > Features > DSS Settings
> This feature is available only on OpenStage 40/60/80, and requires HiPath V 3.0.
> Generally, it is advisable to restrict the user’s possibilities to modify line keys, includ-
ing DSS keys. This can be achieved solely by the DLS. For further instructions, see
the DLS Administration Guide.
> To enable the immediate answering of a call via the DSS key, Allow auto-answer in
the user menu must be activated. The complete path on the WBM is:
