IP Server 900 Programming Manual Function 3: Station programming

Assigning an ESI IP phone using setup mode
ESI IP phones can easily have their IP networking parameters assigned at the same time they’re being
installed at the customer site. However, for this to occur, Function 821 (IP carrier card program settings;
see page L.4) must already be assigned in the system. After taking care of that consideration, you can
plug the ESI IP phone into the LAN, power it up

, and assign its extension right from the phone by following
these steps:
1. When the phone comes on-line, it’ll try to contact the system. If it can, it will display ENTER
PASSWORD, whereupon you can proceed to step 2.
If this message doesn’t appear within two minutes, refer to “Troubleshooting IP Phone setup mode
programming” (page F.21).
2. Enter the Installer password and press #. The phone will display ENTER EXTENSION.
3. Enter the phone’s extension number — which must be a valid extension number associated to an
IP station in the system.
The phone will display the date and time. This indicates that it is now assigned.
Notes: Later, you’ll have to use Function 31 to assign the extension’s name and other parameters.
If the date and time don’t appear, refer to “Troubleshooting IP Phone setup mode
programming” (page F.21).
