2500 Changeout Update

 

We are currently upgrading the single line 2500 desk phones to the new digital M2006 telephones, which provide a message waiting light. We are only changing the telephones that have voice mail at this time.

 

We have been extremely busy with the process, allowing Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to complete this tedious project. Currently, we have completed the following buildings:

 

Culbertson                 Linfield                        Herrick                        Wilson

Hamilton                     Montana                     Gaines                        Reid

Traphagen                 Cheever                     Romney Gym PE Complex

Cobleigh                    Roberts                      EPS                            Fieldhouse

Lewis                          Howard                       Haynes                       Animal Res. Center

Visual Comm. Bldg.  Renne Library            Strand Union             

 

Many of you expressed your wish not to have your phone replaced. If you have a cordless phone, speaker phone, a personal phone, or you use your phone line to plug in a modem or fax line, we would not upgrade your phone. Please let us know if you would not like your phone to be changed (if you have already, you do not need to do so again). Please email Chris Bauer at cbauer@montana.edu.

 

If you have any questions regarding the changing out process, please contact Chris at Extension 0 or email her at cbauer@montana.edu.

 

Directory Updates

 

This is just another friendly reminder that we need any changes of personnel in your department. This includes if you have moved buildings, rooms, or changed phone numbers. These updates are for the campus directory and the online database.

 

Please review your department’s personnel listings online at http://gemini.msu.montana.edu/msuinfo/dplist.html. Simply print a copy and make the necessary changes. You may fax it to Extension 1955 or mail it to Telephone Services, Renne Library, room 58.

 

Major Projects

 

With Spring beginning (and the weather stays nice), Communications Wiring is in full swing with the network upgrades to Category 5 wiring for voice and data. Currently, they are working in Reid Hall.

 

The Spring and Summer months are extremely busy for Communications Wiring. If you have any major renovations, remodels, or any other projects taking place during these times, and it will involve the Wiring Technicians, please notify Pat Simmons immediately. You may email her at psimmons@montana.edu or you may call her at Extension 5460.

 

If you know of anyone who would like to be added to the listserv to receive this monthly newsletter, please email Chris Bauer at cbauer@montana.edu.

 

Thank you!
