AT&T feature module 2 Appropriate procedures below, Select Hotel or CMS as appropriate

● The administrator must use Centralized Programming to assign the ESS

feature to basic Touch-Tone telephones. The user can then access the feature by dialing a code representing the programmed button. ESS cannot be assigned to rotary telephones.

● Voice terminal users can put their voice terminals into ESS1 or ESS2 state,

but only attendants can return voice terminals to the call-handling state.

● All voice terminals become outward restricted when they enter an ESS

	state. If the administrator wants these voice terminals to be able to dial
	selected numbers, such as emergency numbers, he or she should assign
	these voice terminals access to allowed lists. (See “Allowed Lists.”)
	Returning a voice terminal to regular call-handling state removes the ESS
	restrictions and reinstates any restrictions that the administrator assigned.
