1.29.3.6 Network Direct Station Selection (NDSS)

Description
When PBXs are networked using ISDN or IP-GW cards, it is possible to assign flexible buttons as Network
Direct Station Selection (NDSS) buttons. These buttons are used to monitor the status of extensions
connected to other PBXs in the network, and to make or transfer calls to those extensions with one touch,
like normal DSS buttons. This allows the functions of an operator to be centralised even when there are
offices in remote locations.
NDSS buttons show the status of the monitored extension as follows:
Light pattern
Off
Red on

as shown in the illustration above. However, the PBX Access Code method can also be used.
