ESI-50L Administrator’s Manual Administrator programming: An introduction

A.3

Programming basics

Note: If using a 48-Key Feature Phone to perform any programming described herein, please note that this phone

has separate PROGRAM and HELP keys, rather than a combo PROG/HELP key.

As mentioned earlier, you may program from any ESI desktop phone

in the system (while the system is

operating) or (b.) with the Windows

-based ESI System Administrator. Both methods follow the same

programming steps. This manual focuses on programming from an ESI desktop phone; the respective

documentation for ESI System Programmer details the differences in programming from that environment.

Once you’ve entered programming mode on an ESI phone, the system will prompt for — and confirm — each

keystroke action via voice commands and the display. You program both configuration data and recordings in

the same manner.

Important: During programming, the two-line display on the ESI 30D or the legacy 24-Key Feature Phone shares the

same content as the top two lines of the three-line display on most other ESI desktop phones. As a result, to

save space, the sample displays shown herein will show only two lines.

If installing ESI Presence Management on this system, refer to the ESI Presence Management Installation

Manual (ESI # 0450-0792) for important information before you program the system.

Entering programming mode

1. Press PROG/HELP at any digital station. The normal station programming menu prompts will begin

to play.

2. Press HOLD. The “enter password” prompt will play.

3. Enter the Administrator password.

Then, to confirm the password, either press # or wait two

seconds. You are now in programming mode. The extension will be automatically placed in DND,

and its display will show:

ADMINISTRATOR

CMD:

4. The system will play the system programming menu. Follow it to program as you wish.

5. When finished, hang up.

Warning: Always FINISH programming in ANY function BEFORE exiting programming mode (as needed, press #

to accept current entries for function parameters you’re not changing).

Note: The system will automatically exit programming mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Example: If your Administrator password is 864, enter programming mode by pressing PROG/HELP HOLD 8 6 4 #.

(To exit programming mode, hang up.)

Although a legacy 12-Key Feature Phone allows you to enter Administrator programming, we don’t recommend that you use a 12-Key Feature

Phone for programming because of its one-line display and small number of programmable feature keys.

The default is 4 5 6.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... 39 40
