Remote IP Feature Phone Installation Manual
General description
This manual provides step-by-step instructions and guidelines for your use in installing the Remote IP
Feature Phone. The Remote IP Feature Phone is compatible with a wide range of broadband access
devices and Internet service providers (ISPs). Providing instructions for all types of broadband access
equipment would not be possible in a reasonably sized document; instead, this manual deals with
several common devices. With a good understanding of the installation procedures within this manual,
the Installer should be able to determine how to install the Remote IP Feature Phone with other access
devices. Additional support is available from ESI Sales Engineering.
The E-Class Remote IP Feature Phone is designed specifically to work with the following ESI IP PBX
systems: IP 200e, IP 40e, IVX
IP 200e and IP 40e is required to support operation of the Remote IP Feature Phone. Installation of a
Local Network Card (LNC) and a RNC is required in the IVX 128e and IVX 72e.
Note: For proper installation and configuration of an RNC, follow the procedures in the appropriate Installation
Manual for the system involved, the Remote Network Card Installation Guide and — if the system is
IVX 128e or IVX 72e — the Local Network Card Installation Guide. You can find all E-Class technical
documents on the Technical Resource Guide CD-ROM.

that the installation will be successful and trouble-free. Contact ESI Sales Engineering with
questions on the suitability of a potential installation site.
