Setting up the DSS Console

Assigning the software port and console owner.

  1. 1202-01: Primary Station Port Assignment [System: Ports: Slot x: Station Port Configuration (1201/1202/1203): Primary]
    Assign each DSS Console hardware (physical) port to a software port.

    1. As you install each DSS Console, make a note of the physical (hardware) port to which the console is connected.
    2. For each of these physical ports, enter a software port from the following list.
      • 301 for DSS Console 1
      • 302 for DSS Console 2
      • 303 for DSS Console 3
      • 304 for DSS Console 4
    3. Note that these are not extension numbers - they are the software ports that identify the DSS Consoles
    The first DSS Console installed auto-IDs as software port 301.
    • This means that, in a new system, you can plug a DSS Console into any ESIU port and it automatically will get software port 301 and be console 1.
    Option Description
    301 Software port for DSS Console 1.
    302 Software port for DSS Console 2.
    303 Software port for DSS Console 3.
    304 Software port for DSS Console 4.
  2. 2401-01: DSS Owner [Stations: DSS Consoles: DSS1: Association (2401): DSS Owner]
    Enter the number of the keyset extension that will be using the DSS Console. This is termed the console owner.
    • In a new system, the owner of DSS Console 1 is preassigned to extension 300.
    Option Description
    Extension Extension number of the DSS Console owner. [Default] for console 1 = 300. Consoles 2-4 are unassigned.
