I miss my Nortel...she was a good old girl. Anyway, can someone tell me why on the ESI system the desk phones are like 49.00 but the cordless 900Mh digital phones still cost up to 600.00? Anyone, anyone at all? That being said is there an alternate solution to cordless devices on the ESI system? I miss my Nortel!!!!

ESI Phone System VS Nortel 1
- Thread starter fizzywig2
- Start date
Probably little demand for the 900MHz cordless, and/or limited quantities available. When I worked on ESI IVXs I usually used the FXS ports for cordless phones. A nice cheap cordless was easy to replace, or installed an EnGenious phone for long distance coverage.

bdk76,
Talk to me, tell me more. Just a standard old cordless phone you say?
telcodog,
for the record I didn't get rid of the Nortel switch the company I worked for at the time did. I now work for a smaller company and the ESI was here when I arrived

ESI 900Mh digital phone
The base is digital just like the desktop sets.
This means you get the same feature and/or display menu as the desktop phones.
The T7406 Norstar cordless had an identical display with the same 3 softkeys under it.
"standard old cordless phone"
They are analog phones that work on both FXO (POTS line) or FXS (Analog Terminal Adaptor on the PBX).
They will only have their own set of features but feature of the PBX can be access using the Link/Flash key on the cordless followed by the codes required by the PBX.
Older PBX's do not provide Caller ID on the ATA/FXO ports.
You need to determine if you have ATA/FXO ports on your ESI.

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know if ESI offers classes for Administration Certification, anything? I really would like to have more control of the switch. I mean I really would like to administer the switch but can do that is I cant get in there.

Why not contact ESI directly and ask if they or one of their resellers offers administrative training. You can find a reseller in your area through ESI's website.
You would need to identify the ESI model of your system for someone to offer programming advice. Do you have an administration manual? If you don't, do an internet search. Some ESI systems manuals are available at:
