Esi-Dex
(Not available on ESI Cordless Handsets or 12-Key Feature Phone.)
Esi-Dex (“easy Dex”) is a powerful feature that lets you access and auto-dial stored names and numbers. You may
access names and numbers from as many as four different Dexes (i.e., indexes):
Dex Source
Personal Dex Names you’ve stored for your use (see “Adding names to your Personal Dex,” below)
Station Dex All station, department, and guest mailbox names programmed by the Installer
System Dex
1
All system speed-dial names set up by the System Administrator
. . . On the 24-Key Feature Phone
1. While your station is idle (or just after receiving internal dial tone), repeatedly press ESI-DEX to
select the desired Dex:
Notes: System Dex and Location Dex aren’t available on every system.
For the remainder of this example, we’ll assume you selected Personal Dex. However, the
procedure is the same for any of the other Dexes.
2. Choose the desired name from the selected Dex, using one of two methods.
Either:
(a.) Scroll — Press the scroll keys (

and

) to look up and down through the Dex until you find
the name (names will appear in the order in which they were stored in the Dex).
. . . Or . . .
(b.) Dial-by-name — Dial up to the first three characters
2
of the extension, department, or guest
mailbox name. For example: if you want to call John Doe, dial 5 6 4 (because it spells J O H).
You’ll begin to see names that begin with those letters. You can then use the scroll keys (

and

) until you find the desired name and number.
3. Press ESI-DEX again to dial the number.
1
The System Dex is available only if the System Administrator has programmed system-wide speed-dial numbers.
2
You can also dial just one or two characters, and then press # to enter.
