VoIP Phone System South Central College installed a new high tech phone system in July of 2005. This system communicates across the network rather than using traditional phone wiring. The technology, known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), adds features and capabilities not available in standard telephones. VoIP also reduces time and costs when phones need to be moved. This document describes the basic functions and how to use some of the advanced features of the VoIP phone system at South Central College. Your Dean or Supervisor will determine if you need an office phone and will need to request one for you. IT services will then work with you on setting up your phone, assigning an extension and a long distance code if required. If you need assistance with your phone please contact the help desk at 7280 or helpdesk@southcentral.edu
