As a reminder to all employees, we will begin our upgrade of the phone and video systems at 6:15pm on Friday December 20^th,and will continue through the weekend of the 21^st and 22^nd. This upgrade enables the future consolidation and sharing of communication services between SUNY locations.

During the upgrade period, desk phone service will be unavailable. If you will be in the building, please have a cellular phone with you in case of an emergency.

System Administration, Research Foundation, and Construction fund offices will all experience the following changes as a result of these upgrades:

-          Dial Pattern Changes

• Internal calls will now be made by dialing 0 + 4 digit extension (e.g. 01208) or by dialing the full 10 digits of the number (e.g. 5183201208.)
• Local and long distance calls will now be made using the full 10 digits of the number (e.g. 5183201208.)
• External access codes of 9 or 91 will no longer be used.

-          Update: Voicemail Passcodes will not be reset

• We were able to successfully preserve your current voicemail passcode, you will not be asked to change it once the move to the new system is complete.

-          Webex conferencing services will replace the current Meetingplace system.
