Programmable feature keys and Esi-Link: an introduction
With Esi-Link, you assign dialing information to your ESI Feature Phone’s programmable feature keys in the
usual way —
i.e.
, if a remote location station or mailbox is to be assigned to a programmable feature key, enter the
location number followed by the station’s extension number or the mailbox number.
Note:
Programmable feature key lamp status of a remote location extension will appear only if the extension is
included in the “published” extension list of the remote location. Contact your System Administrator if you
need more information about published extensions.
Tip:
You can use direct programming (see page C.2) to program Esi-Link locations and extensions.
