The details

Note: This page focuses on the advantages that ESI’s amazing Remote IP Feature Phone uniquely provides. For more details on the particular ESI system with which you intend to use this product, please see the appropriate part of the ESI Web site: either IP E-Class or IVX. And the Remote IP Feature Phone brochure gives you even more details on this amazing product.

• Provides office-quality communications, wherever the office may be
  ESI’s Remote IP Feature Phone works virtually like all the other ESI Feature Phones on the office system:
  • The superb voice mail system works the same.
  • The easy-to-use function keys work the same.
  • All the indicators light up the same.
  • The big, easy-to-read display works the same.
  In fact, to the ESI phone system, the Remote IP Feature Phone is just another extension. Others on the system can reach it by just dialing an ordinary extension number, as if it were just down the hall — even if it’s actually many miles away.
       The following diagram shows one possible setup. In this case, there are two remote locations connected via either wide area network (WAN) or the Internet to an ESI IP PBX at the main office.


 

• Saves money
  With a Remote IP Feature Phone, you can enjoy high-quality office communications without the need for an expensive dedicated phone line connecting the remote site and the main office. Also, you’ll save on long distance charges by being connected via either a WAN or the Internet. Let’s say you’re in Los Angeles and have a Remote IP Feature Phone connected via the Internet to an ESI phone system at your main office in New York; just dial an extension to reach the New York office — toll-free. (If the main office already has a toll-free number, this will allow you to dedicate it even more fully to calls from customers,  prospects and vendors.)
   
• Provides flexibility
  With the rapid growth of DSL and other broadband services, fully functional Remote IP Feature Phones can be deployed to small remote locations such as local sub-offices or teleworkers’ desktops at home.
   
• Allows transparent routing
  Because the Remote IP Feature Phone works just like any other ESI feature phone on the system, you can route incoming calls transparently to a Remote Phone. This is a great way to handle calls to sales, service or other departments which may be located off-site. Indeed, because all ESI IP-capable phone systems have built-in automatic call distribution, this may be the ideal solution for a remotely located call center.
   
• Is better for executives and teleworkers
  With the Remote IP Feature Phone, the home phone line isn’t tied up and the data connection still carries data traffic, such as Web browsing, while Remote Phone conversations are in progress.*
