– Esi-Link — Allows a multi-site enterprise to network any combination of dozens of compatible ESI systems
across an IP-based network. For details, see the Esi-Link Product Overview (ESI document # 0450-0214).
Notes: The ESI-50 uses only the G.726 speech compression algorithm and, therefore, can be in an Esi-Link
network with only other ESI Communications Servers set to G.726 (in Function 835; for details, see
page M.11).
ESI's IVX
software version 16.2.0), use only the G.729 speech compression algorithm; thus, an ESI-50 cannot
be in an Esi-Link network with these systems.
