ESI-50L Programming Manual System programming: An introduction
B.4
Remote setting of day, night, holiday and auto modes
Normally, the system’s day/night mode operation will be manually controlled at an ESI Feature Phone and/or set
to follow the day/night mode tables (programmed by the Installer) automatically. In addition, the Administrator
can remotely change the mode and/or re-record the holiday greeting to handle unexpected closings such as for
inclement weather.
Remotely logging into the system with either the Installer password or the Administrator password lets the caller
do the following for branch IDs 1–8:
• Re-record the greetings (day, night, day2 and night2).
• Re-record the holiday greeting.
• Change the mode to day/night/holiday/day2/night2 (or auto).
1. At the main greeting, enter


4 5 6 # — or the new password — to enter remote programming mode.
2. You’ll hear prompts that will allow you to change the answer mode (day, night, day2, night2, holiday or
auto) and/or to re-record the holiday greeting and the main greeting (ID 1). Follow the prompts to perform the
desired operation.
Note: To access these options for branch IDs 1–8, you must call in on the phone number of the tenant that
uses those branches.
3. Exit by pressing

and hanging up.
