Phone Descriptions
There are several phones models found across campus. Although each have similar capabilities, each have a different look and feel. The standard multi-button phones are the 9608 and the 9611G. These phones are Voice over IP (VoIP) and require minimum network standards to be met. In addition there is also an option for softphone which is an application installed on your desktop PC, laptop, or MacBook.
Other phone models are digital and analog. Digital sets are used in location that do not meet the minimum network requirements to support VoIP. Analog service for desktop phones is being phased out but will still be available for devices like fax machines, modems, and credit card machines.

Repair Procedures
Troubleshooting a phone is highly dependent on the phone set model.
For any phone type (analog, digital, or VoIP), if you do not hear dial-tone when you lift the handset verify that the cable is connected to the phone and the wall.
Additional checks for VoIP or digital set is to look at the display of the phone. If the display is blank, then your phone could be broken or the service to your phone has been interrupted. Contact Customer Service for technical assistance.
