DSS is Direct Station Selection.  Usually a button on a telephone
or attendent console assigened to a station in the system. A small 
system may have each station assigned to an individual button. On 
an attendent console DSS buttons are used to extend a call on a 
incoming line to the station assigned to the DSS button. On a telephone
DSS buttons are used to place an internal call to the station assigened 
to the DSS button and sometimes to transfer an external call to that 
station, depending on the design of the system.
