9-1-1 Disclosure

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION TO PLACE 9-1-1 EMERGENCY CALLS.

Although this application acts like a phone, DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION TO PLACE 9-1-1 EMERGENCY CALLS. If you use this application to place 9-1-1 emergency calls, first responders will be dispatched to your office location, not your actual location when mobile, because the number associated with this application is tied to your office location on campus. If you have an emergency, please dial 9-1-1 on your cell phone or land line. Do not use this application.

Mobile Data Disclosure

Calls placed or received through Avaya Workplace are data-based calls. Because of this, this application has the potential to use large amounts of mobile data. The university is not responsible for charges, overages, or data use on personal devices. To limit the amount of mobile data use, it is recommended that you prioritize use of WiFi on your mobile device where possible.

Acceptable Use Policy

Avaya Workplace is your work phone in whichever form you use it: handset, computer, or mobile device. Please be sure that your usage of Avaya Workplace is in accordance with Policy on Use of Computing and Communications Technology (Revised For Faculty by EM 07-001).

Support for Personal Devices

Installation of Avaya Workplace on a personal device is a personal choice. It is in no way required for employment and is entirely optional. Although personal devices are not formally supported, Chico State will make a good faith effort to support users who choose to install and use Avaya Workplace on their personal devices.

 

Installation

 

Avaya IX Workplace is a Software Phone (Softphone) that allows users to enjoy the functionality of a desk phone from their computer or mobile device. Users can make and receive calls, interact with voicemail, transfer calls, and participate in conference calls wherever they are, without the need for a traditional desk phone.

Please check with your department coordinator and review campus communications to be sure that your extension and account are ready for use with Avaya Workplace prior to installation.
