The NEC SV9100 can have up to 32 DSS Consoles. The NEC SL2100 can have up to 12 DSS Consoles.
Not to be confused with the 8 button DLS console, the 8 button DLS console is only available on the DT900/DT500 series handsets and uses a ribbon cable attachment to expand the 24 buttons to 32 buttons, all programable via feature access codes and or PRG 15-07
A 60 button DSS console is assigned to a handset, but not apart of the standard DSS key programming.
There are 2 methods to connect the 60 button consoles.
1. Digital port
2. Via ribbon cable to an IP handset ( local power required, only one console per IP phone )
Digital handsets must use the first method ( Digital port )
IP handset can use either method.
TIP: do not use a 4 wire line cord directly into the DLC card as the outer pair will interfere with the connection.
Before plugging the DSS Console into a digital port make sure it has been cleared ( terminal type set to Not set ) in 10-03, this memory block auto configures, you must clear the settings if you are going to change the type of terminal that is connected Handset / Console / PGDAD Adapter.
NOTE: NO 24V power supply required
Once the DSS Console has Auto assigned itself to the digital port it will give you a logical port, this is referenced in the DSS Console programming
Now assign the extension to the console position ( PRG 30-03 )
Hardware required to connect DSS console to an IP terminal:
1 x Ribbon cable 1 x 24V plugpack
Comes with every DSS part # Q3C-B008503480
System Programming:
With ribbon cable attaching the DSS to the IP Handset, power up both IP handset & DSS console, the MAC address of the IP handset will appear in 30-10, in my example console 01 will be skipped as 01 has been assigned to a digital port, next free position is 02.
Now assign the extension to the console position ( PRG 30-02 )
