Overview

November 3, 2023. ITCS is currently updating the campus telephone inventory and collecting any unused phones. Please submit this form for collection of unused phones.

All campus telephones are digital and utilize the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) that allows voice calls over an internet connection. Depending on your telephone hardware, VoIP allows:

  • telephone-to-telephone voice calls
  • telephone-to-computer calls
  • telephone-to-telephone video calls
  • free long distance business calls

Cisco Self Care Portal

Log in to the Cisco Self Care Portal to set your Phone Services PIN, speed dial numbers and phone settings, access user manuals and more. PLEASE NOTE: When off campus, you must be logged in to the ECU network through a VPN connection to access the Cisco Self Care Portal.

Voicemail

Voice message notifications show on the LCD screen of your phone. A message waiting light on the hand set and an audio cue can be configured through the Phone Settings/Voicemail Notification Settings section of the Cisco Self Care portal (VPN connection required when off campus).
