General description
This manual provides step-by-step instructions and guidelines for your use in installing the
Remote IP
Feature Phone
. The Remote IP Feature Phone is compatible with a wide range of broadband access
devices and Internet service providers (ISPs). Providing instructions for all types of broadband access
equipment would not be possible in a reasonably sized document; instead, this manual deals with
several common devices. With a good understanding of the installation procedures within this manual,
the Installer should be able to determine how to install the Remote IP Feature Phone with other access
devices. Additional support is available from ESI Sales Engineering.
The E-Class Remote IP Feature Phone is designed specifically to work with the following ESI IP PBX
systems: IP 200e, IP 40e, IVX
®
128e and IVX 72e. Installation of a Remote Network Card (RNC) in the
IP 200e and IP 40e is required to support operation of the Remote IP Feature Phone. Installation of a
Local Network Card (LNC) and a RNC is required in the IVX 128e and IVX 72e.
Note:
For proper installation and configuration of an RNC, follow the procedures in the appropriate
Installation
Manual
for the system involved, the
Remote Network Card Installation Guide
and — if the system is
IVX 128e or IVX 72e — the
Local Network Card Installation Guide
. You can find all E-Class technical
documents on the
Technical Resource Guide
CD-ROM.

Prior to receiving the Remote IP Feature Phone you should have completed, and submitted to
ESI Sales Engineering, a

If the checklist has not been completed and/or approved by ESI Sales
Engineering, DON’T proceed with the installation.
The purpose of the checklist is to ensure
that the installation will be successful and trouble-free. Contact ESI Sales Engineering with
questions on the suitability of a potential installation site.
