Function 163: Station feature parameters
Field 1: Group listen enable/disable
With this feature disabled: if a station user presses SPEAKER while on a call, the ESI phone immediately
turns off the handset and switches to hands-free mode.
If enabled, the group listen feature is available system-wide. If disabled, it is no longer available.
Default: Enabled.
Field 2: Privacy release enable/disable
With this feature enabled: if a station user presses a CO line key that is in use (lit red), the user will be
immediately conferenced with the call in progress on that line. With this feature disabled: pressing an in-use
CO line key has no effect.
Default: Disabled.
Warning: Adjusting this parameter while calls are in progress may result in temporary loss of audio.
Field 3: Headset microphone gain adjust
Adjusts the gain of headset microphones connected either directly to the headset jack found on most ESI
desktop phones. If the headset microphone gain is too high (“hot”), the user may perceive an annoyingly
loud sidetone or hissing when on a station-to-CO call. The default level should provide a comfortable
sidetone level and adequate transmit volume when used with recommended headsets.
Range: 0–5. Default: 2. (See table, below.)
Entry Value Entry Value
5 +9dB 2 0dB (default)
4 +6dB 1 -3dB
3 +3dB 0 -6dB
Warning: Changing the headset microphone gain will drop all calls in progress. Before making any changes to
this parameter, make sure that all stations are idle.
Field 4: VIP 7 text-messaging enable/disable
With this enabled, users of VIP 7 applications
1
can use VIP 7 text-messaging.
Default: Enabled.
Field 5: System-wide HOLD key lamp appearance
With this feature enabled: when a station user presses the HOLD key, the HOLD LED flashes on all ESI
digital stations in the system when the call is placed on system-wide hold.
With this feature disabled: when a station user presses the HOLD key, the HOLD LED remains off on all
ESI digital stations in the system except the station that placed the call on system-wide hold.
Default: Enabled.
Field 6: Exclusive hold as default
If system-wide is selected: when a station user momentarily presses the HOLD key, the call is placed on
system-wide hold; pressing the HOLD key for an extended time period places the call on exclusive hold.
If exclusive is selected: when a station user momentarily presses the HOLD key, the call is placed on
exclusive hold.
Options: System-wide and exclusive. Default: System-wide.
