  1. IP Telephony Phase II Rollout OIT ComTech

  2. Outline • Why are we meeting? • Roadmap • Centrex vs Call Manager • What happens now ? • Deployment objectives • Phone Catalog • Training • Questions

  3. Why We Are Meeting Today? • Since 2007, ComTech has converted 5,500 telephone lines from AT&T Centrex service to the ComTech supported Cisco Call Manager • All Voice Mail users transitioned to Cisco Unity Voicemail – Unified Messaging deployed • Phase II – Convert remaining AT&T lines to VoIP

  4. IP Telephony Phase II Roadmap • Approximately 5,500 Centrex lines remain on the AT&T network. Converting these lines to Cisco provides the following advantages: • Replaces the aging Meridian sets with Cisco IP handsets • Advances the deployment of Cisco’s Unified Communication suite • Significant cost savings to the University.

  5. IP Telephony Phase II Objectives • Convert ~100 telephone sets per week • 15 month project duration • Data collection (inventory every telephone to be transitioned) • Update campus systems: E-911, ITRACS, MySoft, etc. • Deployment of Cisco sets and retrieval of Meridian sets

  6. IP Telephony Phase II This project is fully funded by OIT and the following types of sets will be converted: • All Meridian digital sets • All analog sets with appearances on Meridian sets which were not converted as part of phase I (Includes fax lines, PC Modem, etc.) • NOTelevators, fire alarms, security alarms, blue lights, freezer/lab sensors, analog lines already converted to IPT, etc

  7. How do we determine the sets to be deployed? • Assess and recommend current telephone sets to be scheduled for conversion from AT&T to IPT • Review current business call flow and recommend additional options • Verify number of lines needed & eliminate lines no longer necessary • Negotiate a final selection of phone set type, number of lines needed, business line call flow, conversion date, etc.

  8. AT&T Centrex & Cisco Call Manager • Centrex service is managed by AT&T: normal single line telephone service with features added including call forward, call transfer, toll restriction, call hold, etc. • AT&T central office is located at Morgan Street. • Voice over IP (VoIP) is a feature rich IP based telephony system that is managed and administered by Comtech, via Cisco Call Manager • Service is delivered across NC State’s data network

  9. Benefits to VoIP • Reduced costs • Simplify the provisioning of phones • Moves Additions Change • On Line Self-service • Offer latest features to campus community

  11. New features with IP sets Extension Mobility MeetMe Conference Single Number Reach Softphones VT Advantage – Ad-hoc video conference

  12. Individual meeting expectations • Review your current business setup • Gather your input regarding your current setup • Review the proposed solution • Discuss what user information will be verified by a member of your staff • Cut date will be discussed and confirmed

  13. What should the end user expect? • Your primary line will now be located as line one • Minimal disruption to Computer and Telephone • An opportunity to use new set before transfer of service Training is provided it is highly encouraged that you attend class

  14. What should we expect during the rollout? • Sets dropped off several days before transfer of service for customer to familiarize themselves with new phone • Dual service on phones until cutover to new service • Minimal phone service outage expected • Data connectivity will be moved as part of the process • Final walkthrough the day before the cut to answer any outstanding questions • Collection of legacy sets after install

  15. IP Telephony Phase II Training Comtech will provide user training to campus for the duration of the project. Two times per week hands-on training is provided at Avent Ferry Technology Center.
