The color is assigned based on the alphabetical order of students last names in each room. The first student in alphabetical order is assigned the gray telephone jack and the second student is assigned the brown telephone jack. If you do not find the prefix on this list, try calling it first as local, then as local long-distance. Several new extensions were added. While students will have analog phone lines, faculty and staff will have digital phones.
All cordless phones are analog, and there is no Nortel digital cordless phone option.
If you choose to continue to use your existing cordless phone, you will need to purchase an analog adapter module for your digital phone. Also, and the cost for the adapter is at the department s expense. Headsets are available if needed. If you have an existing headset we will check to see if it is compatible with the new phones. In general, all Plantronics' headsets are compatible.
