Normally, the system’s day/night mode operation will be manually controlled at an ESI desktop 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 ** followed by the administrator password and then # 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.

3. Exit by pressing * and hanging up.
