Message from Telecommunications - VoIP Deployment

The Social Science Centre is scheduled to receive Western’s new VoIP technology starting Monday April 5, 2010 and continue through the entire month.

Phones will be deployed from the top floor down. The VoIP phone requires network connectivity. Your computer will be routed through your phone to the network. To prevent loss of data for any processes which might be running on the network during the VoIP phone installation, we will be placing these phones during business hours. Once plugged into the network these phones self-register with a dummy phone number and profile. Downloading of your profile (your extension number) onto your new phone will also take place during business hours minimizing any disruption of service (less than 10 minutes). While we are doing this, if someone does call your number, they will immediately be directed to your voice mailbox where they will be invited to leave a message.

The Cisco 7961or 7662 is the multi-line set:
