Requesting a new telephone extension/port
To request a new telephone extension or port, have your departmental phone coordinator contact the Telecom Help Center. For data or telephone port requests, you should indicate whether the request is for a data connection, voice connection or both, and let us know the building, room number and location in the room where you would like the port installed; the name and telephone number of a contact person for the request; and your departmental budget code. For extension requests, you should indicate whether the extension should have voicemail, direct dialing, or be part of intercom group; any dialing restrictions such as campus only, local only, or national only; what name to appear on the phone's display; and any roll-over requests for the extension.
