The following telephone guidelines will be used for the GI Telephone Policy. This policy is effective immediately. Requests for an extension of an existing telephone line are more readily approved.
Extensions are markedly less expensive and, in most cases, fully meets the needs of the employee.
In most cases, today's technology has eliminated the need for modems. If, however, a modem is critical to the work an employee is doing, and after a justification has been provided, a modem will be assigned. Whenever possible, a ComSwitch will be used which allows one telephone line to be shared for both voice and data. The Computer Resource Center stocks and installs the ComSwitch devices at no additional cost.
