CONSIDERATIONS
but not cleaned, ES Status 2 to indicate that the room is available and
cleaned, or ES Status 0 to indicate that the room is occupied and the phone is
in regular call-handling state. In both ES Status 1 and ES Status 2 states, the
phones are outward restricted and cannot place outgoing calls.
NOTE: The attendant will be unable to change the ES Status if the phone in
the room is in use, has Do Not Disturb activated, or is in
programming mode. This ES Status Inhibit feature helps prevent
hotel guests from making calls from their room after they have
checked out.
People can also put their own phones into ES Status 1 or ES Status 2 but
can’t change them to ES Status 0, the regular call-handling state.
RELATED FEATURES
●
● When the console is in ES Status Display mode, attendants can still use
the Message Status button to see whether message lights are on at
phones.
● Use Centralized Programming to assign this feature to basic Touch-Tone
telephones. The user can then access the feature by dialing a code
representing the programmed button.
● This feature cannot be assigned to rotary telephones.
● Phone users can put their phones into ES Status 1 or ES Status 2 state,
but only attendants can return phones to the ES Status 0, regular call-
handling state.
All phones become outward restricted when they enter ES Status 1 or ES
Status 2. If you want people to be able to dial selected numbers, such as
emergency numbers, even when the phones are in ES Status 1 or ES
Status 2, assign these phones access to Allowed Lists.
● Returning a phone to ES Status 0, regular call-handling state, removes the
ES Status restrictions and reinstates any restrictions that you’ve assigned.
● The green light does not indicate whether or not a phone is in use. It only
identifies the current ES Status of the phone.
