Using feature keys with Esi-Link

To use a fixed feature key (e.g., TRANSFER) to access an Esi-Link location:
1. Press the fixed feature key.
2. Either . . .
(a.) Press the appropriate Location Key.
. . . or . . .
(b.) Dial the location number.
3. Dial the destination as follows:
(a.) If it's an extension, voice mailbox or department group, dial the three-digit number.
(b.) If it's a phone number, dial the outside-line-access code (9, 8 or 71–76) followed by the phone
number — e.g., 9 4 6 9 5 5 5 3 2 5 5 to dial 9 + 469-555-3255.
The following information shows how to use both fixed and programmable feature keys to make it even easier to
use certain ESI system features over Esi-Link.
Paging
The ESI system can be programmed to allow paging through an overhead paging system and/or paging
through some (if page zones have been created) or all of the ESI phones' speakers.
Overhead paging
If the remote location system has an overhead paging system connected to it, you can page there by
programming a feature key with the location number followed by 599 — e.g., 7 1 2 5 9 9 — and using it as
you would a regular overhead paging key (see "Paging," page E.16).
Paging through phones
To page through all of the ESI desktop phone speakers at a remote location:
1. Press PAGE (#).
2. Press the appropriate Location Key.
3. Press 0.
To access a programmed paging zone (see the Administrator for a list of page zones):
1. Press PAGE (#).
2. Press the appropriate Location Key.
3. Press the key for the page zone number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 9). The Installer may have added an
overhead paging system to one or more of these page zones.
Note: Phones in use will not carry a page through their speakers.
