12-Key Feature Phone, and Cordless Handsets. Note: The 12-Key Feature Phone has the same stylish, rugged ESI Feature Phone design and offers the most basic phone functions. It is intended for use in areas such as lobbies, cashier stations, warehouses and employee lunchrooms, where only minimal phone system features are needed.

See “System capacities” (page B.1). An ESI Remote IP Cordless Handset sends 911 calls via the local analog CO line attached to the Cordless Handset’s base station. The 911 alert information isn’t available at the operator station or via serial port.
Tip: Remember that ESI System Administrator (Windows-based software available from your ESI Reseller) also lets you print on the overlays as well as perform many other programming tasks. Report customization requires either Crystal Reports Standard Edition or Crystal Reports Professional Edition (not available from ESI).

• CO line number (“LLL” under the four-digit dial plan, “LL” under the three-digit dial plan) — Begins at column 77. Each record is terminated with a line feed and carriage return character. Used only when Esi-Link is enabled and programmed. Esi-Link SMDR records are generated at only the home location.
Each field is delimited with double quote marks and separated with a single comma. Null fields are still included as place holders (see Example B, above). Each record is terminated with a line feed and carriage return character. Used only when Esi-Link is enabled and programmed. Esi-Link SMDR records are generated at only the home location.
There’s no indication in the SMDR record if an incorrect account number was used. Note: The Es and Rs starting at position 70 will be the only digits used for Esi-Link, which will display the last two digits of the cabinet numbers. For example, an Esi-Link intercom call between Cabinet 701 in Dallas and Cabinet 702 in Chicago would appear as: 01 02.
• Inbound and outbound call records are generated only for calls between a station and a CO line. ESI systems provide SMDR records only for calls answered by, or originated from, a system extension.
