SETTING UP SPEED DIALING

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 view the 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 keys, see Figure

16 and Table 4 on page 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 your customized list of PSD numbers in Appendix B

“Customized PSD Bin Numbers” on page 101.)

• Until you assign a name or string of characters to a PSD number, the PSD bin number will display when you press the one-touch or soft key. For more

information, see “Assigning and Deleting Names for PSD Numbers” on page

29.

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 to 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.

• Press the PROG key and then press the AUTO key.

Assigning SSD Numbers

Note: SSD numbers require system programming.

SSD numbers are numbers 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 everyone to use.

A maximum of 80 or 800 SSD numbers are allowed, depending on the system. 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 appropriate bin number or by using one-touch or soft keys. For more

information, see “Dialing Speed Dial Numbers” on page 52.

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 25 characters, you can link up to six SSD numbers in one PSD bin. You can then dial the entire number (each SSD number contained in the chain) by pressing 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 use

SSD codes, your extension is not programmed to display that data.

2. Press the PSD key.

Assigning and Deleting Names for PSD Numbers

After assigning a PSD number to a one-touch or soft key, you can assign a name to the key (e.g., “Home,” “John,” etc.). You can then view the assigned PSD name when you are in the PSD Directory mode.

Note: You need to know the PSD bin number for PSD number in order to assign a

name to it. To determine the bin number, see “Checking Speed Dial Numbers” on page 54.

The DBS 576 and DBS 576HD provide a variety of ways to handle calls within your office:

• Calling Other Extensions (page 65)

• Switching Between Tone and Voice Calling (page 66)

You can leave a callback request message (or message waiting indication) for a busy extension or one that does not answer. After sending the callback message, you hang up the phone and wait for the call back. The called party’s message indicator lamp then flashes that a message has been received.

When the message indicator lamp flashes, it indicates either a callback message from another extension or, if your system uses voice mail, a voice message. For a callback message, the display reflects the extension or name that sent the message.

For a voice message, the display reflects that a new message has been received.

If multiple messages have been received, the display reflects the number of messages and indicates the origin of the first message (i.e., the extension number or voice mail).

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 this feature, a Walking TRS COS must be assigned for your phone by the system administrator or dealer.

• The same Walking TRS COS code may be used by more than one extension.

To use a Walking TRS COS code

1. From an extension other than your own, pick up the handset or press the ON/

OFF key.

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

3. Dial your extension number.

4. Enter your Walking TRS COS code.

5. Press the # key.

6. Access an outside line.

6. Using Additional Features

7. Dial the phone number.

The Walking TRS COS will remain in effect until you hang up.

DIRECTORY NUMBERS

A Directory Number (DN) allows extension numbers to be assigned to an FF key .

The same DN may be assigned to multiple keys on the same telephone and to keys on other telephones.

When a telephone’s extension number is assigned to a key on the same telephone, it is considered a Primary Directory Number (PDN). Up to three appearances 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 another telephone, it is considered a Non-

Primary 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.

Figure 19. Example Directory Number assignments for Extension 200

90 DBS 576 issued September 2001 576-50-750

PDNs are unavailable, the call will select the EXT LED.

When calls come in to a DN, the call appears on the first available DN key. If the call is to your PDN and no PDN key is available, the call appears on the EXT LED.

Directory numbers may be assigned to FF keys 25-32. These are non-appearing keys.

Intercom voice calls only go to the PDN extension but light the corresponding

NPDN keys red. A tone call follows the appropriate ring status (immediate ring, delayed ring, etc.) for any extension.
