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.

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.

Complaints related to operator services from any carrier may be addressed to: FCC, Common Carrier Bureau Enforcement Division, 2025 M Street NW, Washington DC, 20554.

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.

Basic telephone service on the University system has been provided in your room fee. The phone jack in your room is active and will accept a standard home phone or similar device.

The phone service in the fraternity and International house is slightly different from the phone service in the dorms. Dorm phones are on a digital service but our off-campus buildings are on an analog system. Because analog systems do not require a special phone, residents of our off-campus housing provide their own phones and may use any basic home type phone device. The other differences mainly involve the keystrokes necessary to execute various phone system and PhoneMail functions. Please see other items in this section for details.

W&L’s system is linked directly to the area Emergency 911 notification system. 911 should only be used in life threatening situations. 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).

LOGGING INTO THE CAMPUS COMMUNICATIONS HUB CALENDAR

• Go to http://go.wlu.edu/CCH, or click on the "Calendar" link at the top any W&L web page and click on the "Events Calendar" link, found in the descriptive text in the center portion of the page, or from the blue navigation on the left.
• Once you've entered the Events Calendar section, choose "Login" from the blue navigation on the left.
• You will be sent to the Login page, where a large green button will be in the center. Members of the W&L community will click this button, and a dialog box will pop down from the top of your browser. Here you will enter your regular W&L username and password (You do not need to put AD/).
• Click Login.
  

GETTING TO KNOW THE ADMIN VIEW:

• Once you have logged in, you will see your left navigation has expanded to give you many more options, including "Submit an Event," as well as various filters to allow you to view all the events in either a daily, weekly or monthly view.

CREATING A NEW EVENT

• To add a new event, you must first click on "Submit an Event."
  
• At the top of the page, you will see two calendars. Here you can set a start and end date for your event. If the event takes place on only one day, make sure both calendars have the same day. Your selected date(s) will show up in green.
  
• Select a Primary Calendar for your event. Your primary calendar enables your event to feed to your department's homepage, as well as determines which calendar managers have edit rights to this event. Therefore, if you a contributor to the Web Communications calendar and selected Web Communications, the event would show up on the Web Communications website and other web team members would be able to edit the event if necessary. Once you have chosen a primary calendar, you will have the option of selection additional calendar associations for your event, including general calendars like Arts and Culture, Holiday Events, Public Events and Student Organizations. Note: All events will display on the default (master) calendar view. Multiple calendars can be selected, based on your personal access and the appropriateness of the event.
• Next, select a Primary Type. The primary event you choose for your event will appear in parentheses after your event title in the daily or weekly calendar view. For instance, if you have a speaker coming to campus and choose Speaker as your primary event type, your event will appear as "Name: Title of Talk" (Speaker) and your event will turn up in a search for speakers on the online calendar.
  • If you have a special event type that you have been used to using, such as the Registrar and "Adjusted Class Schedule," these event types require a 2-step process to access. First, you have to be sure that you choose the correct Primary Calendar, which will likely be the main calendar you most often post to. Then, you must choose the closest match from the list of general Primay Types. Once a Primary Type is select, the field will expand to display checkboxes of all the general and special event types available. Therefore, if you wish to add "Adjusted Class Schedule" as a special event type, you would have to first select "Academic" as your primary schedule, then something like "Special Event" for your Primary Type, and finally "Adjusted Class Schedule" as an additional type.
• Fill in a Title for your event. Try to make it short, but descriptive enough that people will know what it is and wnat to come! In the case of speakers, we recommend formatting them as follows: Speaker Name: "Talk Title"
• Fill in an event description. HTML is not allowed, and while this may make some superusers a little disappointed, it makes our system much more stable. The only formatting available is line breaks, separating your paragraphs into logical blocks of information.
• Select a Start Time (and End Time if applicable) from the drop down box provided.
• Select the audience(s) for your event. This will allow your event to display on the audience dashboard pages for the audience you select (Current Students, Faculty/Staff, Alumni, Prospective Students, Parents and Visitors).

Having trouble with your Cable TV? Here are some problem solving tips:

• If you have a VCR hooked up with your TV, unhook it and work directly with the TV until you resolve the problem.
• Check the wire that connects your TV to the wall jack. (You must provide this wire -- available at the Bookstore, Wal Mart, etc.). Make sure this cable is connected properly to both the TV and the wall jack and that the ends of the thin wire inside this cable are not bent over.
• Next try programming your TV:
  1. Activate the MENU settings of your TV set
  2. Scroll through menu selections until you find a TV/ANTENNA/CABLE setting (or something similar)
  3. Change this setting to CABLE or CATV.
  4. After setting to CATV, use the AUTO PROGRAM feature to automatically find the channels.

• If you have tried trouble shooting your TV and it still doesn't work please send a work order request with the help desk.

When you add a W&L student, faculty or staff member to a Sakai site (Site Info > Add Participants) add the USERNAME ONLY in the top box for Official Participants. If you use the entire e-mail address, Sakai creates a guest account instead of using the regular account that's already there, so the regular account won't see the website.

Please call the Information desk at extension 4357 if you still need assistance.

If you need access to Colleague, please go to https://managementtools.wlu.edu/AccessRequest/ and request an account. Once the proper approvals are granted, an account will be set up for you. Accounts are set up on an individual basis and they should not be shared with anyone. In most cases, when dealing with course and student information, the Registrar’s office will provide some level of training or guidance on how to access the data you require.

If you already have access to Colleague but cannot remember your login information or have issues accessing the system, go to http://webhelpdesk.wlu.edu and create a ticket under the category of Administrative Data – Colleague Issues/Requests. Once submitted, the ticket will be automatically routed to the appropriate person who can help you resolve problems.

If one takes a W&L laptop that is in the W&L AD domain off campus and then attaches to a site that is in the IE 'Local Intranet' security zone, the laptop attempts to do pass-through integrated windows login.  However, this requires that the computer has direct access to an AD domain controller, which is blocked in the firewall.  Unfortunately, IE does not gracefully fall back to a username and password prompt in this case.

To configure IE to always prompt for a username and password:

1.       Open Internet Explorer

2.       Select “Tools”

3.       Select “Internet Options”

4.       Select “Security”

5.       Select “Local  intranet”

6.       Select “Custom level…”

7.       Scroll all the way to the last option and select “Prompt for user name and password”

8.       Select “OK” to exit both dialog windows

To re-configure IE once you are back on campus, follow the same procedure, but in step 7, select “Automatic logon only in Intranet zone”

This error may have been caused by opening four or more WebAdvisor hyperlink windows. For example, if a user is reviewing their budget and clicks on the Actuals, which opens a new window, then clicks on a Voucher, which opens a new window;  and the user does not close any of the child windows, and attempts to select another Actual, they will get the error.

All child windows must be closed using the CLOSE WINDOW button. If the user uses the browser's red X to close the windows, they will still get the error and be forced to log out and back in to WebAdvisor.

If this does not solve the problem you may need to review and then delete the webadvisor stored cookies.
