482 port cards. Memory Modules and port cards are packed separately and are mounted in each system’s cabinet during installation. The external 482 card also is used by the ESI-50L, the ESI C-Plus, and IVX S-Class Generation II systems.
Built into the main board, the NSP (Network Services Processor) serves as a bridge between an Ethernet- based network and the ESI-50L. Using TCP/IP, the NSP communicates directly with specific PC applications for maintenance of, and integration with, the ESI-50L.
ESI Cordless Handsets The ESI-50L also supports ESI’s digital Cordless Handsets. Each comes in two sizes — small and large — and includes four familiar fixed feature keys, four programmable feature keys, and a headset jack. The Base Station for each ESI digital Cordless Handset uses a standard line cord and is line-powered.
DESI Lite, which allows you to print on the overlays. For assistance with DESI products, contact DESI (the DESI Web site contains contact information). Tip: Remember that ESI System Programmer, ESI Personal Programmer, and VIP — software titles all available from www.esiresellers.com — also let you print on the overlays as well as perform many other...
• The customer (site) name. • The phone number of the CO line or the public IP address of the NSP. • The quantity of VIP Professional licenses. For more information about the NSP, refer to NSP Installation Made Simple (ESI #0450-0669).
The ESI-50 supports only PRI. IVC 12 is built into ESI-50 main board; supports up to 12 local IP or up to eight remote IP channels. Esi-Link channels are allocated to “reserved” ports; i.e. Esi-Link channels do not reduce CO or station capacity.

• Do not use liquids or aerosols to clean any system equipment; rather, use a cloth that is only slightly damp. • An ESI Communications Server contains no components that are serviceable by either non-Resellers or non-manufacturer technicians. All service must be referred to the Reseller for further handling.
Installation: The device is equipped with a USOC connector. Registration Number: 1T1MF08B33727. Ringer equivalence number (REN): 0.8 Hearing-aid compatibility This equipment, utilizing telephone station equipment manufactured by ESI, meets all FCC requirements for hearing-aid compatibility.
ESI-50L Hardware Installation Manual Hardware installation Hardware installation Site location As with most electronic equipment, the environmental considerations for this site need to observe good common sense. Provide a dry, clean, and accessible area. Locate space in the telephone equipment room, which will provide easy connection to the 66 blocks and 110 VAC power.
Expansion Cabinet installation The Expansion Cabinet allows the ESI-50L’s capacity to grow by up to two additional port cards. The cards are connected via ribbon cables, through the opening in the back of the Expansion Cabinet, to the Base Cabinet.
Hardware installation Port card installation Adding or replacing port cards will require the system to be taken out of service (the ESI-50L doesn’t support “hot-swapping” of its port cards). Important: The ESI-50L can use only the 482 port card (see “Port card options,” page A.1).
Hardware installation Memory Module installation or replacement Note: The Memory Module has a proprietary formatting scheme — do not attempt to install a non-ESI drive. Contact ESI for a replacement Memory Module, if needed. Adding or replacing the CompactFlash Memory Module will require that the ESI-50L be taken out of service.
• Connect the grounding lugs of all units to system ground Note: ESI Communications Server lines are protected against a 10 KV surge only if the earth ground procedures described above are followed.

“freeze.” Though it is hard to predict exactly when different ESI systems will have problems with modified sine wave or square waveform UPSs (meaning during a power failure event or the recovery from one), it’s fair to assume that a problem will eventually arise from the use of such UPSs.
Note: The system will buffer up to 1,000 SMDR records in non-volatile memory when the Maintenance/ SMDR serial port is in use for programming or uploading (such as during use of ESI System Programmer). If the buffer becomes full, the system will discard the oldest records.
Connect a standard 66 or 110 block to each digital port card by using a male 50-pin amphenol cable to each port card female connector located on the cabinet. The connector closest to the wall is the first card; on other ESI...
Each analog port will support only a single analog device. The ESI-50L supports a maximum of eight analog devices. All analog ports provide Type I Caller ID information (Caller ID with call waiting is not supported).
4. If necessary, remove the clear plastic overlay from the keys on the Expansion Console. 5. For the customer’s convenience, label the paper overlay to show how the keys are programmed (we suggest you use ESI System Programmer for this). 6. Install the labeled paper overlay on the 60-Key Expansion Console.
7. For the customer’s convenience, label the paper overlay to show how the keys are programmed (we suggest you use the ESI System Programmer PC software application for this). 8. Install the labeled paper overlays on the two 60-Key Expansion Consoles.
This base station is line-powered and therefore needs no AC power. • Wall-mount(s), a belt clip, and a Quick Reference Guide. Each ESI Cordless Handset is keyed to only one base station and takes up one digital port on a 482 card. Base station installation Due to each site’s unique characteristics, the range and distance information we’ll provide herein is...

Layout of building/offices, and locations of base stations. This can be a hand-drawn diagram with locations of base stations (you can fax it to ESI at 972 422-9705; be sure to indicate that it goes to Technical Support). The objective is to give the ESI technician an idea of the site’s layout.
