Administrator programming: An introduction You can program ESI’s IVX E-Class system (IVX 128e or IVX 72e) locally or remotely from a 48-Key Digital Feature Phone or 24-Key Digital Feature Phone while the system is operating. You also can program using ESI’s Esi-Admin, a Windows-based software application your ESI Reseller can provide.
