Note: If using a 48-Key Feature Phone to perform any programming described herein, please note that this phone
has separate PROGRAM and HELP keys, rather than a combo PROG/HELP key.
As mentioned earlier, you may program from any ESI desktop phone
operating) or (b.) with the Windows
programming steps. This manual focuses on programming from an ESI desktop phone; the respective
documentation for ESI System Programmer details the differences in programming from that environment.
Once you've entered programming mode on an ESI phone, the system will prompt for — and confirm — each
keystroke action via voice commands and the display. You program both configuration data and recordings in
the same manner.
Important: During programming, the 24-Key Feature Phone's two-line display shares the same content as the top two
lines of the three-line display on most other ESI desktop phones. As a result, to save space, the sample
displays shown herein will show only two lines.
If installing ESI Presence Management on this system, refer to the ESI Presence Management Installation
Manual (ESI # 0450-0792) for important information before you program the system.
