F.18
Voice mail (Code 579)
Allows a 12-Key Feature Phone (which lacks a dedicated
VOICE MAIL
key) to have voice mail access.
Warning:
To use voice mail from a 12-Key Feature Phone, you must assign this code to a programmable feature
key.
Failing to do so will disable the mailbox.
(When you try to access a disabled mailbox, the system
will notify you that it’s disabled.) You still can retrieve previously left messages and access user
programming, but the mailbox won’t be able to receive new voice messages. Therefore, to enable the
mailbox, assign key code 579 to a programmable feature key.
Override ring (Code 580)
The
override ring
feature lets you place a call — station-to-station, outside line or Esi-Link — or leave a voice
message when
another
call is ringing. For full details on using this feature, see “Override ring,” page F.9.
Record (Code 582)
Note:
Available
for
only
ESI Cordless Handsets and the 12-Key Feature Phone.
Press this key to record any phone conversation — or, when the Cordless Handset is idle, to record a
personal memo. For more details on using your ESI phone system’s call recording features, refer to “Live
recording,” page D.7.
Quick Switch
™
(Code 583)
Note:
Available
for
only
48-Key Feature Phone and 24-Key Feature Phone.
Important:
For the Quick Switch feature to work, your Installer or System Administrator must have programmed a
relationship
between your desktop extension and Cordless Handset or
VIP Softphone
. Program the key
on the desktop Feature Phone.
Press this key to transfer an active call between a desktop ESI Feature Phone and an ESI Cordless Handset
or
VIP Softphone
(either direction — to or from the desktop Feature Phone).
Quick Switch ring options
When both the desktop extension and Cordless Handset or
VIP Softphone
are idle, press the Quick
Switch key. Follow the visual and audible prompts and use the scroll keys to change the programmable
options concerning what happens when a caller dials (or is transferred to)
either
your desktop phone or
Cordless Handset or
VIP Softphone
:
•
RING DESKTOP
— Only the desktop phone will ring.
•
RING CORDLESS
— Only the Cordless Handset will ring.
In either of the two cases above, re-routing (including to a voice mailbox) will follow the desktop phone.
The other choice is:
•
NO RING OPT
— If a caller dials (or is transferred to) the desktop phone, only that phone rings. If the
caller dials (or is transferred to) the Cordless Handset or
VIP Softphone
, only the Cordless Handset or
VIP Softphone
rings. Re-routing follows whichever phone rang.
