If your campus residence is in the dorms, apartments, or sororities, your phone is already installed and ready for use. It is a Rolm 120 digital phone with the following features:

• Single-line digital telephone with 12 special function buttons
• Eight common function buttons (hold, connect, transfer, volume up, volume down, flash, DND, message waiting)
• One button to indicate line is in use
• One-way speaker (you can hear but not speak)
• Two spare buttons to access many other options
• Four-digit dialing on campus
• PhoneMail (Rolm's voice mail)
• Do Not Disturb (DND) feature

If you reside in one of the fraternities, you will need to provide your own phone for your room. Since the phone lines in the fraternities are analog, a normal single line phone like you have at home is all you need (older rotary phones will not work on this system). However, in order to more easily take advantage of some of the system features, it will be beneficial to have a phone that has a "FLASH" button on it, but it is not required.

The FLASH function places any call on soft hold so that you can access a feature or dial another party. The soft hold lasts until you hang up or reconnect the call.

If you are not sure whether to FLASH before using a system feature, remember that you must have dial tone before using a feature. So, if you don't have dial tone, FLASH.

As a resident of off-campus housing, you provide your own phone and it is suggested that you use a phone that has a FLASH button since this feature is used to access so many system features. If you do not have a phone with a FLASH button, do the following: Press the switch hook on your phone for one second Listen for a tone followed by the high pitched holding tone

Note: Holding the switch hook down for longer than one second can disconnect your call.

Placement of outgoing long distance calls requires the use of your personal 7-digit authorization code. Your long distance code will be in you WebAdvisor account . No deposit is required for long distance service. No subscription fee or monthly service fee will be charged for an authorization code.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your authorization code and you will be responsible for all calls placed with your authorization code. If your authorization code is lost or stolen, or if for any reason you feel the security of this number has been compromised, immediately contact the W&L Telecommunications Office in person. Because of the serious nature of the loss of an authorization code, if the Telecommunications Office is closed, you should contact University Security immediately at 8999.

Since your telephone service is provided by the University, you may not subscribe to any "residential" long distance plan offered by another long distance carrier. However, you may obtain access to the interstate common carrier of your choice by establishing a calling card account with them and dialing the carrier's "800" access number. You may also reach an alternate carrier by dialing 9 + 1010xxx + 0 + phone number (for example, to access AT&T using this method, you would dial 9 + 1010288 + 0 + phone number). Contact your carrier for their three digit code and rates. Be aware that many advertised calling cards have per call surcharges or monthly fees associated with them, so read the fine print before committing to any of these services. Please remember that your alternate carrier calling card account can't be associated with your W&L phone system telephone number. A substantial service fee will be charged for calls billed back to your W&L telephone number. For more information, contact the Telecommunications Office.

Minor emergency calls should be placed to University Security at 8999 from any W&L extension. You may place a call to E-911 by dialing 9+911. In most cases, the E-911 dispatcher will see the phone number you are dialing from and your location on their dispatch screen.

If you accidentally dial 911, please don’t hang up. Simply identify yourself and tell them there is no emergency at your location. There are cases when 911 is accidentally dialed, especially on international calls which require a 9-0-11 prefix or when using a fax machine. If you hang up, the 911 dispatcher is obligated to pursue the call to try to determine if there is an actual emergency.

Be sure to dial carefully. If you unintentionally contact a 911 dispatcher, please explain your mistake to them and you will have played an important role in making the system work properly (and you won’t be responsible for emergency crews rolling up to your dorm on a false alarm).

Adding Phonebook Entries

The RightFax Web Client lets you create a personal phonebook of fax and e-mail addresses. You can add both individual entries and group entries that let you easily send one document to multiple recipients. Phonebook entries can be private or published. Private phonebook entries can be viewed only by you. Published phonebook entries can be viewed by any other RightFax user on the network.

To Create an Individual or Group Phonebook Entry

1. From the Web Client folder view, click the New Fax button. The Create/Edit Document page opens.
2. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button.
3. Click the New Entry button to create an individual phonebook entry or the New Group button to create a group entry.
4. Enter a name for the entry in the ID box, and check the Published option if you want this phonebook entry to be available to other users on your network.
5. If you are creating an individual entry, complete the addressing boxes. All boxes are optional but you must enter at least one fax number or e-mail address. If you are creating a group entry, type the phonebook IDs you want in the Members box, and press ENTER between each ID you add. Group phonebook entries can only be made from existing phonebook IDs. If you want to add a new fax or e-mail address to a group phonebook entry, you must first make it an individual phonebook entry.
6. When you have completed the addressing information or added all the phonebook IDs you want, click the Save button. The new entry will be immediately added to your personal phonebook.

To Select an Address from Your Phonebook

1. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button to display all the entries in your personal RightFax phonebook. You can select one phonebook entry per document. If you select a group phonebook entry, the document will be sent to all members of that group.
2. Click the check mark next to the entry to which you want to send the document. This returns you to the Create/Edit Document page with the recipient's addressing information entered under Primary Information. If you selected a group phonebook entry, the phonebook ID will appear in the Name field.

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.

Send an email to help@wlu.edu providing the details--the name of the app and how you'd like to use it in your workflow. We'll review the app to see if it meets security requirements and get back to you.
