If there’s something you need that you don’t see here, please give us a call – 328-7788. The services listed with an asterisk involve ongoing and/or one-time charges. Please refer to the Consortium Rates section on Page 3 for price information, and to the Placing orders for service section on Page 6 for information on ordering these services. The following services are available on our telephone systems. Basic Telephone Service* – Available features include call forwarding on busy and no-answer, programmable call forwarding, toll restriction, and more. Voice Mail* – Includes basic call answering features. Voice mail boxes can be enabled to receive fax messages. Our new phones have a visual indicator for voice mail.

We are unable to provide a visual message waiting indication for some systems, but can provide a stuttered dial tone message waiting indication. Long Distance* - We provide long distance services to Consortium members. Conference Calling – Conference calling for up to 6 participants is available at no charge. Telecom will provide you with a phone number and access code for your call. Conference participants calling from outside the Rochester local calling area will be billed long distance charges by their service provider. EVM (Enhanced Voice Mail) – This feature allows you to receive copies of voice mail messages in your email as file attachments. If your voice mail is enabled to receive faxes, EVM can forward these to your email as image files. The EVM feature can also send a notification message to pagers, cell phones, or any device with an email address. Call Processing Applications* - These can save staff time by helping direct callers to the person who can help them and by allowing callers to access recordings of commonly requested information. Programming of Telephones, Voice Mail and Voice Applications –Key programming, call routing, and other functions on our telephones are set through system programming. Pagers* - Telecom has alphanumeric pagers that are able to receive short text messages and numeric pagers that accept telephone numbers or numeric messages. Cell Phones* - Telecom has a contract with Verizon for basic cellular service. Departments arrange their own service with our Verizon representative. LLE Language Line* - This service allows you to set up a conference call with an interpreter when you receive or place a phone call with a speaker of another language. A code can be provided for your department to access this service. EC500 (Extension to Cellular) –With this feature, calls to your office phone can ring simultaneously on your cell phone. This feature can also be used with a home office land-line. You can turn the feature on and off by pressing a key on your office phone or by dialing a number from your cell phone. Calls that are not answered on your cell phone are pulled back into your office voice mail. One Touch Recording – This feature allows you to press a key on your phone and record your conversation to your voice mail box. Paired with EVM, this feature allows you to store recorded calls on your PC. Personal Fax Number* - A separate phone number can be assigned to receive fax calls for you.

Paired with EVM, this feature will deliver the fax to your email inbox as a file attachment. Call Center Applications* – For areas with a lot of telephone traffic and a number of people responsible for answering calls, a hunt group can be programmed that will distribute calls among available staff. This feature can put callers on hold to wait until someone is available to take the call, or give them the choice to wait or to leave a message. This may involve additional charges if new extension numbers are needed. Caller Application Reports – Our system can generate reports of call traffic for caller applications. There is a daily report that shows usage by hour and a weekly report that shows usage by day. The system does not keep historical information. The reports only show information for the most recent period. 2 | Page Consortium Rates If you are removing a telephone and will no longer be using that extension number, you must contact Telecom to have the extension disconnected and removed from your bill.

  • Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3
    Telecommunications Infrastructure for Electronic Delivery 3 SUMMARY The telecommunications infrastructure is vitally important to electronic delivery of Federal services because most of these services must, at some point, traverse the infrastructure. This infrastructure includes, among other components, the Federal Government’s long-distance telecommunications program (known as FTS2000 and operated under contract with commercial vendors), and computer networks such as the Internet. The tele- communications infrastructure can facilitate or inhibit many op- portunities in electronic service delivery. The role of the telecommunications infrastructure in electronic service delivery has not been defined, however. OTA identified four areas that warrant attention in clarifying the role of telecommunications. First, Congress and the administration could review and update the mission of FTS2000 and its follow-on contract in the context of electronic service delivery. The overall perform- ance of FTS2000 shows significant improvement over the pre- vious system, at least for basic telephone service. FTS2000 warrants continual review and monitoring, however, to assure that it is the best program to manage Federal telecommunications into the next century when electronic delivery of Federal services likely will be commonplace. Further studies and experiments are needed to properly evaluate the benefits and costs of FTS2000 follow-on options from the perspective of different sized agencies (small to large), diverse Federal programs and recipients, and the government as a whole. Planning for the follow-on contract to FTS2000 could consider new or revised contracting arrangements that were not feasible when FTS2000 was conceived. An “overlapping vendor” ap- proach to contracting, as one example, may provide a “win-win” 57 58 I Making Government Work situation for all parties and eliminate future de- national infrastructure will be much stronger if bates about mandatory use and service upgrades.

Every-one has wrestled with misunderstandings and differing interpretations. There is no way around it: interpersonal communication is challenging, and the globalization of business makes it more so. As project teams become more geo- graphically dispersed, they need technologies that facilitate effective collabora- tion. These technologies should break down distance barriers, overcoming tradi- tional limitations with new ways to share information and enhance discussions, ultimately leading to better decisions and business growth. That’s why business- es need IP communications. IP communications encompasses IP telephony, video telephony, unified messaging and voice mail, IP video- and audio-conferencing, customer contact solutions, voice gateways and applications, security solutions, and network management. It exemplifies the systemic approach inherent in intelligent networking. “Where the network has always provided con- nectivity, now it also solves business problems,” says Rob Redford, vice president of Product and Technology Marketing at Cisco. “With intelligent networking, the network, applica- tions, and other components interact in a systemic way—the right function finds the right place in the system.

  • Business Mopera IP Centrex Service System
    644_s[4-10].ps/3.3 07.3.20 2:31 PM ページ 4 Business mopera IP Centrex Service System Noboru Matoba, Bunpei Yatsu, Terutaka Toyota and Shigeo Tanimoto A system has been developed which uses the N900iL dual FOMA/wireless LAN mobile terminal to provide an IP Centrex service for communication within the office via a wireless LAN, and outside the office via FOMA network. 1. Introduction A recently introduced business mopera IP Centrex service is expected to increase the number of user and expand usage. The service is based on a private solution for corporate application, and uses the N900iL dual FOMA/wireless LAN mobile termi- nal. Typical examples of private solutions for corporate applica- tion previously developed by DoCoMo include the linkage of user-owned Private Branch eXchanges (PBXs) and PHS termi- nals, and the ‘PASSAGE DUPLE’ IP phone system combining the N900iL terminal, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)*1 server, and a wireless LAN system. Both solutions require installation of a PBX or IP-PBX at the user site to provide a solution that can be customized to individual user requirements, but on the other hand, are limited to comparatively large-scale corporate use due to high initial installation costs. Conversely, the business mopera IP Centrex service installs the IP-PBX in the DoCoMo network rather than at the user site, and concentrates multiple users efficiently into a single Centrex system, providing such services as calls on both internal and external lines, and a variety of additional functions. Initial installation costs are therefore reduced, thereby permitting an expansion of target users (including small and medium-sized corporations (Figure 1).

  • Telecommunications Audit
    Wicomico County, Maryland OFFICE OF THE INTERNAL AUDITOR P.O. BOX 870 SALISBURY, MARYLAND 21803-0870 410-548-4696 FAX 410-548-7872 Steve Roser, CPA Internal Auditor October 18, 2011 Internal Auditor’s Report The County Council and County Executive of Wicomico County, Maryland: Pursuant to Section 305(D) of the Wicomico County Code and Council Resolution No. 78‐2009, the Office of the Internal Auditor (IA) has conducted an Audit of the Wicomico County Telecommunications System. A report is submitted herewith. The purpose of the audit was to determine the adequacy of procedures and controls, the level of compliance with those procedures and controls, the existence and types, and the associated cost of the telephone lines utilized by Wicomico County. IA conducted the audit with due professional care, and IA planned and performed the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the current Telecommunications System practices are in compliance with applicable policies and procedures and whether those policies and procedures are adequate to obtain an acceptable level of control. The audit revealed a cumbersome telecommunications system with limited checks and balances in place implemented by the administrators of the telecommunications system along with an adequate level of internal control. Adequate internal control indicates that a number of findings, some of which are significant, have been made. Where action is in progress to address these findings, and other issues known to management, these actions are at too early a stage to allow for a satisfactory opinion. IA identifies several findings in subsequent sections of this report that bear discussion.

  • Bell Laboratories Record Tomer Wishes
    THE PICTURE OF THE FUTURE The Bell System is about to add PICTURE- PHONE® service to the many services it now of- fers customers. A major trial of a Picturephone system is presently under way, and commercial service is scheduled for mid 1970. Because Pic- turephone service is a large undertaking that will have a profound effect on communications, the RECORD is pleased to be able to present this special issue describing the new system for our readers. Special issues have become an important part of the RECORD's continuing story of science and technology at Bell Labs. The first one, in June 1958, dealt with the transistor and marked the tenth anniversary of its invention at Bell Labs. Since then there have been special issues on the TELSTAR® project, No. 1 Ess, and integrated elec- tronics. In addition, there have been single-topic issues devoted to the N-3 and L-4 carrier trans- mission systems. We hope to continue to present such special issues from time to time as a way of highlighting subjects of special importance.
