System programming: An introduction
You can program an IP Server 900 either (a.) from an ESI desktop phone
1
in the system or (b.) with IP Server 900
Web ESI System Programmer. Both methods follow the same programming steps. This manual focuses on
programming from an ESI desktop phone; for more information on local or remote administration through the
Web programming interface, consult the IP Server 900 Web ESI System Programming Manual (ESI document
# 0450-1366).
Read the User’s Guide first. Programming features requires a clear understanding of the users’ interface,
features, and applications.
Once you’ve accessed programming mode on an ESI desktop phone, the system will prompt for — and confirm
— each keystroke action via voice commands and the display. You program both configuration data and
recordings in the same manner.
Important: During programming, the ESI 30D’s two-line display shares the same content as the top two lines of the
three-line display found on most current ESI desktop phones. As a result, to save space, the sample
displays shown herein will show only two lines.
If installing ESI Presence Management on this system, refer to the ESI Presence Management Installation
Manual (ESI document # 0450-0792) for important information before you program the system.
