Remote IP Feature Phone
Your Remote IP Feature Phone will operate like a regular ESI Feature Phone, with these exceptions:
1. Channel availability display
The display on an idle Remote IP Feature Phone will show channel availability, rather than
outside line availability:
As depicted above, the bottom right of the display of an idle Remote IP Feature Phone will show RMT
(short for remote). The display’s bottom left will show a number of boxes — as few as one or as many
as 12, depending upon your system’s installation and configuration — that represent the total number of
available remote channels. A solid box indicates a remote channel that is in use; an open box indicates
a remote channel that is available. If you access an outside line, your display will switch to the normal
outside line usage display.
2. Channel queue display
There may be times when all remote talk paths are in use. When this occurs and you try to access a
remote channel, you will hear a “fast busy” signal, and the display will look like this:
If you wish to be queued to receive the next available remote channel, press 1 and hang up; when a
path becomes available, your Remote IP Feature Phone will ring, the display will show FREE RMT
CHANNEL — and, when you answer, a prompt will automatically tell you there is a channel available.
3. Paging limitation
The Remote IP Feature Phone can initiate pages; however, it cannot receive pages. For example, when
the operator performs an all-page ( # 0 ), this will be heard on the speakers of all extensions except
those on the Remote IP Feature Phones in the system. Additionally, the Quick Page and Auto Page
features are not available when calling a Remote IP Feature Phone.
4. No 911/emergency calls
Because your Remote IP Feature Phone isn’t connected directly to your local telephone network, you
must use a regular phone connected locally, not the Remote Phone, to make 911 or other emergency
calls. (See ESI document #0450-0262, included with your Remote Phone, for more information.)
