Programmable feature keys and Esi-Link: An introduction
For only IP Server 900 and ESI Communications Servers.
If necessary, consult your System Administrator for more details.
With Esi-Link, you assign dialing information to your ESI phone’s programmable feature keys in the usual way — i.e., if a remote location station or mailbox is to be assigned to a programmable feature key, enter the location number followed by the station’s extension number or the mailbox number.
Note:
Programmable feature key lamp status of a remote location extension will appear only if the extension is included in the “published” extension list of the remote location. Contact your System Administrator if you need more information about published extensions.
Tip:
You can use direct programming to program Esi-Link locations and extensions.
Examples
Assigning a programmable feature key for extension 135 in location 712
- Hold down the desired programmable feature key for at least two seconds to enter programming mode.
- Dial 7 1 2 1 3 5.
Note:
You can also use Location Dex to select the remote location number.
- Press the feature key again.
Programming a call-forwarding key to extension 135 in location 712
- Hold down the desired programmable feature key for at least two seconds to enter programming mode.
- Dial 5 6 5 (the ESI system’s call-forwarding code [see “Optional features”]).
- Dial 7 1 2 1 3 5.
Note:
You can also use Location Dex to select the remote location number.
- Press the feature key again.
Note:
If you regularly forward to a particular remote location extension, you should also assign your mailbox to a Remote Virtual Mailbox Key at that remote location extension.
