Telecommunications also supports the infrastructure design for new buildings, campus alarm and access systems as part of its base budget. For the sake of your fellow phone system users and our PBX switch, we encourage you to follow the university policy of purchasing compatible phone equipment from us. This equipment is offered at our cost and not only includes a variety of phone instruments, but other accessories such as extension cords and headsets. Each of the general funded state buildings is currently equipped with a base set of telephone jacks and instruments. This infrastructure is maintained at no charge to the individual units.
State funded units are responsible for paying access charges.
All campus phones must be installed and maintained by the Telecommunications Department. Technician time, wiring materials and new instruments are billed at cost for moves and new installations. Repair and maintenance of the telephone instruments and connections are included. Services by the Telecom Analyst for training, software changes and relocation designs are also included in the base fee. Local and long-distance usage charges are additional but the rate is substantially lower because we receive discounts as part of a CSU consortium.
