•
Ring tone
— You can select a distinctive ring tone to override the station’s usual ring tone, clearly identifying
calls coming into the ESI phone via the cell phone. To enable this, select one of five available distinctive ring tones.
•
Voice mail routing
— Choose the voice mailbox to which unanswered cellular calls are forwarded: the ESI
Communications Server’s or the cellular provider’s.
•
Cellular Access key
— This key, when programmed on a 48-Key ESI Feature Phone (Digital or IP), offers
the same functionality as a line key (“CO line key”) along with some additional features. However, since the
ESI Cellular Management Access Device is connected to a station port, the Cellular Access key is assigned
with the actual extension number of the ESI Cellular Management Access Device. The ESI system translates
the extension number to a “virtual” trunk number that is used to retrieve cellular calls that have been placed on
system-wide hold.
Note:
ESI strongly recommends that a Cellular Access key be assigned on at least one extension. This key
provides connection status to the cell phone using unique lamping indications. The lamp status lets the
user see immediately whether the Access Device and the cell phone are connected properly. For
information on the lamping indications and their meaning, see “Special lamping indications,” page 9.
•
Cellular Speed-Dial key
— This key, when programmed on a 48-Key ESI Feature Phone (Digital or IP),
allows you to dial a phone number using the cellular phone line.

Reminder: cellular networks don’t support sending tone-dialed digits to a cell phone (see “No true tone dialing,” page 10).
