Phone Management

When an employee needs to work remotely, they have several options to allow phone calls remotely.
Primarily, the following technologies can be leveraged to remotely receive calls:

  • Call Forwarding – Simply forwards the extension to a new number (mobile or home recommended)
  • Single Number Reach – Allows inbound phone calls to simultaneously ring to both a mobile phone and desk phone. Single Number Reach (SNR) can also have a schedule applied to it, to only ring the mobile phone during a set period of hours.

Managing Voice mail Remotely During periods in which employees need to work remotely, voice mail will be forwarded to email by the IT department. However, users can also dial into their voice mail remotely by:

  1. Dial into the voice mail system by calling 636.949.4100
  2. Enter the last 4 digits of your phone number, then press #
  3. Enter your pin, then #
  4. You are now connected into your voice mailbox

Important Note about Voice mail to Email
Everyone is allocated a limited amount of voice mail storage. To ensure your voice mail box does not fill up and stop taking voice mail messages, it’s important to delete voice mail messages out of your email once you are finished with them or by following the instructions above.

Call Forwarding Forwarding calls to another phone can be accomplished from either the phone itself, or the Self Care Portal.
From a Phone:

  1. Press the CFwdAll softkey. (Some models display only “FwdAll”)
  2. Enter the number to which you want to forward all of your calls. Be sure to enter the number exactly as you would if you were placing a call to that number from your office phone. For Example, if your cell phone is 314.555.1234, enter 913145551234.
  3. To remove call forwarding, press the CFwdAll softkey.

Self Care Portal: From a web browser, employees can log in to the Self Care Portal to remotely manage their phone. This will need to be done while connected to GlobalProtect VPN or while on campus.

  2. At the log in screen, enter your Lindenwood credentials to log in. You should see your phones populate in the portal.
  3. Proceed to “Call Forwarding” then select your extension.
  4. Select “Forward all Calls to” then select either "Voice mail" or “Add a New Number” – If you would like to forward your calls to a mobile phone, enter the phone number preceded by “91”. Then hit save.

Single Number Reach Single Number Reach (SNR) allows inbound phone calls to simultaneously ring to both a mobile phone and desk phone. SNR can also have a schedule applied to it, to only ring the mobile phone during a set period of hours. This has to be configured from the Self Care Portal, and is covered in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5d9rI8i5_0

From the Self Care Portal:

  1.  From “My Phones” select “Add Additional Phone”
