System programming: An introduction
You can program an ESI-50L either (a.) from a 24 or 48-Key Digital Feature Phone in the system (while the system
is operating) or (b.) with the Windows
®
-based ESI System Programmer. Both methods follow the same
programming steps. This manual focuses on programming from a Digital Feature Phone; the respective
documentation for ESI System Programmer details the differences in programming from that environment.
Read the User’s Guide first. Programming features require a clear understanding of user interface and
application.
Once you’ve accessed programming mode on a 24-Key or 48-Key Digital Feature 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 48-Key Feature Phone’s three-line display. 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.
