Speed dial and Direct Station configuration on SPA932

From Asterisk Australia

Q. How do I setup the Speed dial and Direct Station keys in the SPA-932?

The SPA932 is a 32-button attendant console for the SPA962. Each SPA932 unit provides 32 programmable speed-dial or direct station select (DSS) buttons, Each lighted button indicates line status (idle, ringing, busy, or null) using a busy lamp field (BLF). Incoming calls can be immediately transferred to the proper location by pushing a button assigned to the extension on the SPA932. Two SPA932 units can be attached to a single SPA962 to monitor a total of 64 separate lines.</p>
