Extended Station Status
DESCRIPTION
When the Extended Station Status (ES Status) feature is activated, lights on
phones indicate operating states other than the standard call-handling modes
of available, busy, and Do Not Disturb. When ES Status is administered for
Hotel/Motel operation, the attendant can put any phone into ES Status 0, ES
Status 1, or ES Status 2. Typically, these states show whether or not a room
is ready for occupancy, but they can also be used for other purposes.

With the attendant console in ES Status Display mode, the attendant can see
the status of each phone by checking the green lights next to the Auto
Intercom buttons. By pressing the appropriate buttons, the attendant can put
individual phones into ES Status 1 to indicate that the room is unoccupied
