Coming Soon: Current Cisco phones to be replaced with Microsoft Teams Calling.
Information
Bowdoin College's telephone system is different than traditional, residential telephones. The phones are IP phones which means that they are Ethernet based and plug in to regular network wall ports rather than a traditional telephone jack. These phones connect to the network to get their data as well as their power.
Available to
IP Phones are available for all faculty and staff and are assigned on a 1-to-1 basis. IP phones are also available in student dorms however each resident has a line assigned onto the single phone.
Options
The following is just an example of what you can request assistance with:
- Report a broken or damaged phone
- Report an issue with Teams Calling and a Teams Calling device
- Request a physical Teams Calling phone for your Bowdoin office if you do not already have one
