Vital 911 Information
|
- Softphone Users: If you are using a softphone, you will need to set your location in Zoom for 911 and emergency services. This step is critical because it informs emergency services of your location, when you call 911, if you’re working from another location or different office. Follow the Emergency Address Setup instructions to do so.
- Deskset Users: If you choose a deskset and you are on a campus network, your Emergency Address Information is populated automatically as the location of your deskset during the installation process. You do not need to enter it manually.

|
Reminder: Your voicemail box will be deactivated one week from today. You can optionally review and/or download existing voicemails you may need for the future. Ann Arbor Campus, see Microsoft Exchange documentation. Dearborn and Flint Campuses, see Cisco Unity documentation.

Old Desk Phone Disposal
