The details
 One-button access
to remote systems — Esi-Link lets you easily communicate
with people at your remote locations without having to remember
complicated codes. All you have to do is (a.) press a Location Key
to gain dial tone for the remote location you want to call, and
then (b.) dial the desired extension. That’s all!
Note: If you prefer, you may also
direct-dial a location using the three-digit location number
your Installer assigns to it. For example, if “702”
is the location number for your branch office, dialing
7 0 2 1 1 7 would call
extension 117 at that branch.
- Toll bypass — With
Esi-Link, you may well be able to eliminate altogether your need for
expensive dedicated lines interconnecting sites. Esi-Link
communicates by using available bandwidth on your existing WAN
or the Internet to complete the call, substantially reducing
the need for, and associated cost of, public telephone network
circuits (whether voice tie lines or dialup). It also can lower
long-distance expenses by letting you call from a remote
location’s local dial-tone (e.g., if you’re
in Memphis and want to call someone in Nashville, just press a key to access local dial tone
for your Nashville office’s Esi-Link-enabled ESI phone
system so you can place the call as if you actually were
in Nashville).
- Fully featured, cross-platform
phone communication
— With some systems, you might have to give up lots of
features to enjoy the advantages
of VoIP; but Esi-Link lets ESI phone systems share a full
range of ESI advanced business phone features that work
uniformly across the network.
Also, an Esi-Link network
has cross-platform integration — meaning it can
include both traditional and VoIP-based ESI phone systems. That
means more of your people can make multi-site calls; it also
means they can keep using the ESI phones and systems with
which they’re already comfortable.

Got one or
more non-ESI legacy systems that you want not only to retain but
also
to be part of your Esi-Link network? ESI’s
IP Gateway
fills the bill. To learn more, consult the IP Gateway
brochure (PDF file). |
- Capacity that fits your needs
— Some businesses or organizations have only a small number
of sites; some have many. Esi-Link connects as few as two —
or as many as 100 — ESI phone systems. And a two-site
Esi-Link network has all the features of its 100-site counterpart
(or a site of any capacity in between).
- Publishing — Each
Esi-Link-enabled IP PBX (of which there can be up to 100 on an
Esi-Link network) can “publish” (transmit)
to the network the status of any combination of up to 30 extensions,
voice mailboxes and department groups. That means that, when you assign
one of these items to a programmable feature key on your ESI
phone, the key’s indicator lamp works just as it would
if you’d assigned to the key a number within your own
local ESI system. One look at the keypad and you’ll know
whether Dave in the cross-town warehouse is on the phone (or,
for that matter, has set his ESI phone to “do-not-disturb”
mode). Clearly, this is one of Esi-Link’s most powerful,
time-saving and productivity-enhancing features.
- Speed-dialing across the network
— The Esi-Dex
speed-dialing capability already in place on ESI phone systems gets smarter
still with Esi-Link aboard, because now it can also speed-dial
extensions at remote locations. Esi-Dex’s new Location Dex
feature makes it, well, easy to look up and speed-dial
any remote extensions. If you can tap on a scroll key and read a
big, clear display, you can use it.
Esi-Link is available only from Resellers with ESI IP
factory training. Product specifications subject to change without notice.
