Planning Soft DSS Keys

When setting up Soft DSS keys you must decide:

• How many Soft DSS keys do you want?

Half-line mode supports up to 4 keys. Full-line mode supports up

to 2 keys but shows more information.

• What Soft DSS key features do you want to have?

You can use half-line mode to make calls only. You can use full-

line mode to make calls, send alerts, etc.

• What type of calls do you want to make/receive?

When using Soft DSS keys to make a call, the usage setting of

your phone and the phone called determines the type of call. The

possibilities are:

• Standard Call: The same as a normally dialled call.

• Page Call: The extension called hears a single tone and can

then hear you (you cannot hear them).

• Direct Call: The extension called hears a single tone and then

you can hear each other.

There are 4 usage settings (Normal, Auto Answer, Voice and

Intercom). See "Changing the Soft DSS Usage" on page 28 for how

the different usage settings interact.
