This function is available for local calls only. If you had this capability with the previous system, you should still have it. Remember that you must prefix any external number with a "9."
Note: When forwarding calls to an external number, do not be surprised when you hear a dial tone as soon as you press the initial "9". Ignore the dial tone and keep dialing the number, without pausing.
The same one you had with the old system.
No. The number of speed dials is restricted to the two speed buttons physically present on the telephone. Some phones, such as those with the 'call pickup' or 'call park' options, will have only one speed dial available.
The Cisco 7940 phone has two line/speed dial buttons, while the Cisco 7960 phone has six. Basically, the number of speed dials available depends on how many phone numbers the phone has. Only those line/speed dial buttons not in use for a phone number can be assigned a speed dial function.
"Meet me" allows a group of people to meet by telephone at a pre-determined time. Each attendee is given a time and a "meet me" telephone number prior to the session. When the time comes, the participants call the access number and join the conference. This service is password protected, and must be set up in advance.
Establishing a Meet-Me Conference Call allows other callers to dial into the conference call from anywhere. This requires a special conference number which must be reserved through ITS.
To request a number for a Conference Call date and time please contact julie.bruggeman@mnsu.edu, jan.west@mnsu.edu or call Information and Technology Services at 6651.
Inform the meeting participants in advance:
The call originator must dial in first and initiate the call from a CISCO IP Phone.
The assigned dial-in number is authorized only for the specific date and time specified in the user's request. A new request is required for each conference session to avoid individuals dialing into someone else's conference call by mistake.
