SUBJECT:

Campus Phone Outage: 10:00pm September 6th to 8:00am September 7th

As part of our commitment to provide enhanced telephone services to UC San Diego, we have scheduled a major upgrade to the campus telephone system. Among other things, the new telephone system has a smaller hardware footprint and will lower energy consumption and maintenance costs.

During the upgrade, campus telephone services will be unavailable from 10:00 PM on Friday, September 6th and will continue until 8:00 AM Saturday, September 7th.

While all changes are compatible with existing telephone equipment, we anticipate that in some cases you may need to reset the following three phone features:

1. Accept 2nd Call
2. Follow Me
3. External Call Forward

The instructions for resetting these features can be found at:

With this upgrade, our goal is deliver the best service possible to campus. If you have any questions regarding this upgrade or require special arrangements for critical lines to be diverted/forwarded during the upgrade, please contact the ACT Help Desk no later than Friday, 8/16/2013, at acthelp@ucsd.edu or at (858) 534-1853.

Thank you.
