Location Keys

For only properly equipped ESI Communications Servers, IVX X-Class systems, and IVX E-Class systems.
If necessary, consult your System Administrator for more details.

Each location in your Esi-Link network has a location number in the range of 700–799. (If necessary, consult your System Administrator to learn your Esi-Link network’s location numbers.) To facilitate dialing into a remote location, you can assign the location number to a programmable feature key — making it a Location Key. When you press a Location Key, you’ll hear dial tone; you can then dial any extension, department, mailbox, or outside line group access code (9, 8, or 7176) in the remote location. For instance, a user in the Dallas office would press the key programmed for the Chicago office and dial 1 0 4 to reach extension 104 in the Chicago office. You can program up to 12 Location Keys on each 24-Key Feature Phone and up to 30 Location Keys on each 48-Key Feature Phone. (Also, you can program up to 60 Location Keys on a 60-Key Expansion Console.)

Programming a Location Key

Note:

You may wish to review “Programmable feature keys.”

  1. Hold down the desired programmable feature key for at least two seconds to enter programming mode.
  2. Enter the remote location number — such as 7 0 2.

    Note:

    You can also use Location Dex to select the remote location number.

  3. Press the feature key again.
