ESI Bluetooth Integration

Simplify your communication with Bluetooth

Think you have to choose between the power
and convenience of your ESI phone and
your cell phone? Not with ESI Cellular Management.
It lets your ESI Communications Server work with
the cell phone to give you maximum call-handling
capabilities while in the office.

The mobility that Bluetooth® technology provides and the power of your ESI Communications Server have been combined to improve your productivity. Two ESI Bluetooth Voice Integration products offer unique capabilities to make you more efficient:

  • ESI Cellular Management lets you manage your cell phone calls along with your normal business calls, all from your desktop phone.
  • The ESI Bluetooth Headset Interface lets you use any compatible Bluetooth headset with your ESI 48-Key Feature Phone.

The best of both worlds.

Busy professionals who frequently take business calls on a cell phone while in the office now can enjoy the convenience of taking those calls on an ESI 48-Key Feature Phone. ESI Cellular Management eliminates the awkwardness and loud interruptions caused by cell phone use in the office. Simplify your life with this compact Access Device that directs incoming cell calls to your desktop phone.* Cell calls are handled by the ESI Communications Server just like any other call, so you can get all the advantages and standard ESI features of your office phone system — features like call forwarding, call transfer, conferencing, live call recording, and more.

Here are just a few of the ways ESI Cellular Management can simplify your business communications when in the office:

  • Make and take your cell phone calls on an ESI 48-Key Feature Phone.
  • Route unanswered cell calls to ESI’s advanced voice mail, or leave them on the cellular carrier’s voice mail — whichever best suits your needs.
  • Enjoy improved call coverage by routing cell calls to a department or group mailbox.
  • Access your cell phone’s voice-dialing feature directly from your desktop phone.
  • Share access to your cell phone minutes with others in your office and save money by fully utilizing your cellular calling plan.

ESI Bluetooth Headset Interface.

Don’t be tied down by wired headsets. The ESI Bluetooth Headset Interface lets you “pair” a standard Bluetooth headset with an ESI 48-Key Feature Phone, so you can seamlessly answer, originate, and terminate phone calls directly from the headset. Using ESI’s integrated interface, you get all the standard headset features available on the ESI Communications Server, plus the mobility of Bluetooth. Don’t hassle with expensive add-on devices like headset lifters. Let the ESI Bluetooth Headset Interface give you the freedom to achieve a higher level of productivity.

Note:

ESI Cellular Management is currently available for digital (not IP) ports. See the brochure under the downloads tab

ESI Mobile Messaging

ESI Mobile Messaging combines the advanced capabilities of your ESI business communications system with the convenience of users’ existing e-mail accounts. When you receive a message (a voice mail or a recording) at your extension or guest mailbox, you also receive an e-mailed notification to which a .WAV of the message is attached. The notification’s header contains information about the message — the Caller ID name and number, as well as the call’s date, time, and duration. ESI Mobile Messaging also lets you quickly do these (and more):

  • Listen to a message on your PC or “smartphone” — Play back a message on your PC or “smartphone” by simply double-clicking the attachment.
  • Share messages — Forward important messages to interested individuals, even if they’re not on your ESI system.
  • Choose which messages to handle and how to manage them — If you have numerous messages, you can directly access any message right away.
  • Remotely manage messages — You can manage messages using Web mail from: a home PC or laptop; a personal (or alternate) e-mail account; or a “smartphone.”
  • Store important messages — Save a message attachment to a hard drive or USB flash drive.
  • Choose two e-mail accounts at which to receive e-mailed notifications of messages.

Note:

Some of these capabilities require activation in user programming.

An ESI Mobile Messaging user who also uses one of ESI’s VIP applications with Microsoft® Outlook® gains an additional capability: simply selecting a e-mailed notification in the Outlook Inbox gives the user the ability to handle the message by using the VIP toolbar.

ESI Mobile Messaging is compatible with any ESI Communications Server (except the ESI-50L) which is equipped with the appropriate hardware and system software. For specifics on these requirements as well as licensing details, please contact your Intelliphone Sales Representative.
