ADMINISTRATION
● The administrator must use Centralized Programming to assign the ESS
feature to basic Touch-Tone telephones. The user can then access the
feature by dialing a code representing the programmed button. ESS
cannot be assigned to rotary telephones.
● Voice terminal users can put their voice terminals into ESS1 or ESS2 state,
but only attendants can return voice terminals to the call-handling state.
● All voice terminals become outward restricted when they enter an ESS
state. If the administrator wants these voice terminals to be able to dial
selected numbers, such as emergency numbers, he or she should assign
these voice terminals access to allowed lists. (See “Allowed Lists.”)
Returning a voice terminal to regular call-handling state removes the ESS
restrictions and reinstates any restrictions that the administrator assigned.
To specify the ESS mode of operation and to put attendant consoles into and
out of ESS Display mode, enter administration mode and follow the
appropriate procedures below.
