Installed a TVA50 on a customers old DBS72 today(with 6 analog ports and inband signalling, haven't done that in a loooong time). They had an Amanda that was slowly dying. I'm mostly happy with the install but couldn't figure out one thing on the DBS. Was trying to program a one-touch voice mail access button but just couldn't get it to work. I need it to dial the vm group dn, 600, then dial #6* and a 3 digit extension number. I was only able to get it to dial 600 then #6. Never knew the DBS very well. Any help would be appreciated.

You should be able to accomplish this with the appropriate digit strings programmed to a speed dial bin on the DBS.

In reading the manual, it seems to indicate a limit on number of digits it will dial(3), and if you need more you have to link speed dial bins. Seems kinda useless to have a digit limit. I can enter the entire string when programming, but it definitely only dials the 3 digits after the vm group dn. I'm using personal speed bins, should I use system speed bins? Does it make a difference if I use a lighted button versus a non-lighted button?

Timing is everything. I'm back at a long term client that had the same situation.
A long time ago, they had an Active voice that was replaced with an Amanda. It too needed more digits than the DBS would give me.
My fix was to chain-dial 2 buttons for VM access ACCESS
on/off prog pick a button X (usually 9 or 4, but be sure no one changes this one) redial for pause * ext # Hold (maybe add xtra pause @ start and between * and ext no.)
on prog button you want to use for VM access conf Auto 500 to vm auto 90+ the X button # Hold
I presume you got the follow on ID, and forward thingies done already.
Always have enough fun to spread around.

Not sirius, is the # in your example part of the programming step? I might have been missing that.

I think the last # was only for the Amanda end of file marker.
