If your phone system is using ESI Presence Management, your phone’s
MUTE/DND
key won’t turn amber when you exit the building using your
electronic key; for more details, refer to the
ESI Presence Management User’s Guide
(ESI part # 0450-0793). If you’re not sure whether your
system is using ESI Presence Management, consult your System Administrator. For more information about ESI Presence Management, visit
