ESI Cordless Handset II Repeater The optional ESI Cordless Handset II Repeater extends the coverage area of the ESI Cordless Handset II in all directions, including up and down. If Repeaters are installed so their coverage area overlaps that of the base station, the base station can hand off calls to the Repeaters as the user moves from one coverage area to another. When it’s connected to a Repeater, the ESI Cordless Handset II operates exactly as it does when connected to its base station, and the handoff from the base station to the Repeater occurs seamlessly without disturbing the end user, even during an active call. Each ESI Cordless Handset II base station supports up to six repeaters, regardless of configuration. • Each Repeater supports up to two direct connections to other Repeaters. • No Repeater can be more than three connections — or hops — from the base station. All Repeaters, regardless of configuration, must be registered to the base station. Repeaters that are registered directly to a base station (left), do not require use of the optional Repeater Configurator Kit. These Repeaters can be installed using automatic configuration. However, Repeaters registered to the base station through another Repeater (one example shown, right) do require use of the Repeater Configurator Kit. For detailed information on installing Repeaters, refer to the ESI Cordless Handset II Repeater Installation Manual (ESI # 0450-1248).
PRI Span
Every call on a PRI span is sent with the called number in the setup message. This means you can determine whether to use a number as a pilot number or as a DID number. Pilot numbers are a means of routing a company’s primary published phone number differently from a DID. Each ESI Communications Server has a different capacity for pilot entries, each with its own answer ring assignment; see “Translation tables” in “System capacities” (page B.1). This is important, because the dynamic channel allocation prevents you from routing based on channel. Pilot numbers can be routed to an ID branch, department, extension or mailbox. This varies from DIDs in that, when a DID number is routed to an extension, it is considered answered and follows the busy/ no-answer routing of the extension; but, with pilot numbers, the call will be routed to the extensions for live answer for the designated number of rings, then can be routed to an ID branch in the event of busy/no-answer. If the PRI span is used for outgoing calls, pilot table entry 1 is used for outgoing Caller ID, as well. Because of this, pilot number entry 1 should always be programmed with 10 digits.
Installing the System Administration Application
The System Administration application is installed on a PC that is connected to the LAN. Only a user on that PC can install the System Administration application. The System Administration application will communicate with the messaging system through its LAN port. Installation of the MERLIN Messaging or PARTNER Messaging System Administration application can be performed from the MERLIN Messaging System Release 4.0 Library CD or the PARTNER Messaging System Release 7.0 Library CD. Depending on your system, you select “PARTNER Messaging System Administration” or “MERLIN Messaging System Administration” under “Install Software” from the main window of the Library CD. This will automatically launch an installation wizard. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to install the System Administration application.
