2.3 Monitored Stations
When the installer assigns the personal intercom number of one tele-
phone to appear at a button on another telephone, the button and its
associated light provide a direct station select (DSS) busy lamp field
(BLF) feature. With this feature, the user can monitor the status of
the appearing station.
When the station monitoring feature is off, the status light shows the
state of the monitored telephone.
When the station monitoring feature is on, the status light shows
activity status (idle, ringing, busy, and hold) of the monitored tele-
phone.
• To monitor another telephone,
1. OBSERVE the BLF light indications next to the Direct Station Select
(DSS/BLF) button:
• Off = Station is idle.
• Flashing (if enabled) = Station has an incoming call.
• On = Station is busy.
Your telephone may have the personal intercom number of another
telephone appearing at a programmable button location. You can
press the DSS/BLF button to call that telephone or to answer a call
that is ringing at the monitored station if you wish.
• To call an idle monitored station or to answer one that
is ringing,
1. NOTE the BLF light condition.
2. PRESS assigned DSS/BLF button.
3. SPEAK toward telephone OR LIFT handset if privacy is desired.
