Changing the Default Display  
The MODE key enables you to change the software mode of the display from

“Calling Other Extensions” on page 51.)  
While in Variable Mode, you can also use the soft keys to access various system  
features.

or dial speed dial numbers using the soft keys.  
The system features displayed in Variable Mode require system programming.

and PSD appear on the second line of the display.)

easy access. Most items found under the Function System Menu can be  
assigned to the Function Extension Menu in any order you desire.

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 83.)  
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

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.  
2. Either:  
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 38.  
Note: To dial an SSD number using the one-touch keys on a non-display or small-  
display 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.

can retrieve the call from any phone that has an FF key that is assigned the  
same Floating Hold number or by simply entering the Floating Hold number.

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 of DBS 576 and DBS 576HD 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.

6. Access an outside line.  
7. Dial the phone number.

USING DIRECTORY NUMBERS  
A Directory Number (DN) allows extension numbers to be used on a key basis. 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.

6. Using Additional Features  
Figure 19. Example Directory Number assignments for Extension 200  
When a caller originates a call, the call appears on the first available PDN key. If all  
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.  
To originate a call  
1. Lift the handset or press the ON/OFF key.  
2. If dialing an outside call, dial the outside line group access code (9, 81-84).  
3. Dial the phone number or extension number.
