ESI Communications Servers Programming Manual
Range reassignment (Function 34 extended; ESI System Programmer only)
Included in ESI System Programmer, flexible number range assignment is used to change the numbers of
a block, or range, of extensions or guest mailboxes.
installation or after the system is installed.
Number reassignment (Function 34)
Number reassignment lets you assign new (or reassign existing) individual extensions
guest mailbox numbers — all throughout the entire Esi-Link network.
Station move (Function 30)
Station move is used by the Installer or System Administrator to move, or exchange, extension numbers and
other station information between extensions of the same station type.
greetings, voice mail messages, and other system information are automatically and instantly exchanged
between the two stations when this is done.
Esi-Link and flexible numbering: Limitations
The following table lists the Esi-Link compatibility of various ESI products with an ESI Communications Server
using flexible numbering.

ESI-600
IVX X-Class
IVX E-Class Generation II
In this chart, limited compatibility means that, when you use Function 34 (number reassignment), you must
keep the extension and mailbox ranges within their original numbering plan template ranges.
Example: Let's say your local system is an ESI-600 using numbering plan 100. If you swap extension 100 with
mailbox 300 — i.e., so that station 100 is now extension 300, and mailbox 300 is now mailbox 100 — an
IVX X-Class system that dials station 300 over Esi-Link won't be able to process the call correctly,
because that station is no longer within the numbering template. However, if you merely swap
extensions 100 and 120 on that same ESI-600, an Esi-Linked IVX X-Class will be able to process a call
to extension 120 (because the changed extension is still within the numbering template).
For proper operation, two or more Esi-Linked ESI Communications Servers of the same model should all be
running the same system software version. However, an ESI system without flexible numbering-compatible
system software will still be compatible with an ESI Communications Server with flexible numbering-
compatible system software; yet, the ESI Communications Server with flexible numbering will remain subject
to the same Function 34-related limitations described above.

Range assignment of department numbers and special-purpose mailboxes is not supported at initial release of this system software. However,
Function 34 can be used to reassign department numbers.

Valid extensions also can be swapped throughout the Esi-Link network.

Such stations must be like types — e.g., Digital Feature Phone to Digital Feature Phone, IP Feature Phone to IP Feature Phone, or analog
extension to analog extension.
